[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Op, thanks for the replies.

I guess I was expecting them to at least walk me through what to do or bring her in for a physical exam or want to induce vomiting or give something that might block the absorption. Everything I read online said taking a wait and see approach was not the right method since it could be lethal if it started to get absorbed and digested.

I was on hold waiting for the pet poison control people for over 15 minutes and finally hung up. Decided to just wing it and induce vomiting on my own before too much time passed. Really a little guidance from the vet would have been nice, it was during regular office hours not an off time or anything, but thank goodness for the internet.

I am not sure how much you are aware but vet's office are slammed right now. Going to am ER would have been the best idea if you wanted advice expediently. Do you call you pediatrician and get to talk with the doctor immediately? No. If you need that level of care, you are sent to the ER. They gave you the right advice - call poison control - because vets cannot be expected to remember all of the treatments for all of the drugs for all of the species.

I hope your pet is okay.
