Gave too much Pepto to Paris!! HELP I think I gave too much Pepto to Paris. I gave him a tablet crushed in some food and he ate it all. He has been eating leaves and throwing up since last night. Now he is asleep. It has only been a few minutes should I induce vomiting oe wait? Help! |
I would induce vomiting. I would rather take it back than not. |
What do I give to induce? He is 13 lbs not your tiny Yorkie. |
I just copied this from the web .... If you think your pet has been poisoned... Contact your veterinarian or one of the Animal Poison Hotlines (listed below) if you think your pet may have accidentally received or been given an overdose of the medication. **ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center 1-888-4ANI-HELP (1-888-426-4435). $65.00 per case, billed to caller's credit card. Follow-up calls can be made for no additional charge by dialing 888-299-2973. There is no charge when the call involves a product covered by the Animal Product Safety Service. **Pet Poison Helpline - 24-hour service available throughout North America for pet owners and veterinary professionals who require assistance with treating a potentially poisoned pet. 1-800-213-6680 ($35.00 per incident). Staffed 24-hours a day. |
I would use 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide (regular 3% hydrogen peroxide)- to the back of the mouth and make sure it is swallowed. If no vomiting in 10 mins you can do it again ONE TIME. You can also call the ASPCA pet poison control to see if this is even necessary. There is a $65 charge for the call. Their # is (888) 426-4435. |
I copied that from a google search on pepto... I know my vet said I could give it to my dogs... but the dosage is the question |
Thanks. |
I shot 1/2 teaspoon of hp into the back of his throat. Now waiting. Conflicting dosages were googled so I did 1/2 tsp. |

Called emergency vet and they said it wouldn't be a problem the dosage I gave him. So just going to skip dinner to let his tummy rest and call my vet in the morning. whew. |
Glad you called. I just read that the dosage is 1/4 tablet for every 20 pounds. Hmmm... |
Now the emergency vet said it has aspirin and should NEVER be given to a dog. Who do you believe? Paris seems to be just fine. I am watching him closley and making him drink alot of water. He hasn't thrown up since I gave him the pepto. |

Yes the technician called back and said it has aspirin in it and maybe I should bring him in. I didn't think it had aspirin but who wants to argue with a doctor? I have given it to him before just not as much. He really seems fine right now and it has been over 2 hours. |
