Pepto Bismol tablets I came home to find the bottle chewed up. It may be a child proof cap, but not a Yorkie proof cap. How concerned should I be if she ate 4 of the caplets? Should I try to make her vomit them up? It can't be more than an hour ago that she ate them. Thanks! I am so freaking out right now! |
Oh, she weighs 11 lbs, if that matters. |
1-800-717-3786 is the Pepto Bismol hotline. I don't know how bad it is for animals. http://www.pepto-bismol.com/tablets.shtml That's a link to the directions and who should take it and who shouldn't. WAIT!! The main ingredient in Pepto Bismol is Bismuth Subsalicylate, and I just found a link about pets and this substance: http://www.peteducation.com/article....articleid=1456 |
I cut and pasted this from the site: If you think your pet has been poisoned...

I would call the ER vets office to ask. It maybe to late to have her throw them up. It never hurts to call and ask especially with pepto having salicylates (aspirin). |
Did everything turn out okay? PLease let us know. |
I called the ER vet and they asked me her age and weight and how many she ate. I was told she should be okay, since she was still running around and being her regular goofy old self, but to monitor her for the next 12 hours and if she shows any signs of distress to take her in. I was really freking out there for a bit. |
Thanks for the links! I didnt' see that site, but I was scouring Google for info earlier too. |
