Emmie took drugs. harmful??

calicocalgirl · 11-16-2007, 05:30 PM

I was giving Willy his SMZs dissolved in a container with a bit of oil to help it stick to his feed better. Emmie licked the container clean that had some residue left in it. I doubt she got more than one pill worth, actually probably not that much. My first reaction was that it wont hurt her but now I am wondering if it will? She is fine, her "total out of control hyper wild self" since she was home alone most of the day and she is now chewing madly on a filled hoof. Should I watch for any reaction, if so, what?? Our vet is so hard to get a hold of and I hate to call when there really isnt anything wrong.

Call poison control and ask? Look on the pkg to see if it says anything about harmful to domestic animals? Look on ask.com and see if there is any info on it. Just some resources to check out. I hope she will be fine!

I picked her up today.. pretty sure she is heavier than a feed sack...about 60lbs. australian shepherd

I would still call an emerg vet and ask, but we would use that in a dog her size. I might be more worried about the oil causing diarrhea.

Actually its rice bran oil. Her and Callie try to get a lick every chance they get, so they are used to it. That's why I put the container up on a shelf when mixing his drugs, but the wind blew it down and she licked it clean before I saw.
I was trying to look it up but the computer is stubborn tonight and taking too long to search so I didnt find alot but I did find that dogs can be given SMZ. I am really pretty sure she didnt get more than one pills worth if that. I swish it around good before I dump it in his feed to make sure he gets the amount he is to get of it.

Try Tribrissen 960 or trimethoprim sulfa.
