omegosh now Robbie has swallowed one of my PILLSThe cats are always playing and batting at me when I go to fill my weekly pillcase and a few minutes ago Robbie was on the counter so Dennis grabbed him to take him away and said he heard a crunch in Robbie's mouth- well I looked an YES a pill was missing. Called the vet and they had to call an emergency pet poison line and also said to quickly give him a teaspoon of peroxide and repeat every 10 minutes until it came up. Did this while waiting for a return call and yes he vomited almost right away and I found the half of the large capsule but it had started to dissolve already and had come apart but Robbie vomited quite a bit. The vet called back and had reached the poison line and now told me I probably have no worries but he may get quite sleepy if he started to absorb the medicine - it was my Neurontin 300mg capsule which is an anticonvulsant. Would you believe while I was calling the vet he then *opened* my pillcase!! Nothing missing this time.
Now I will know not to leave it outand also keep this phone number handy - you guys may want to have this handy also. It is a $35 charge to your credit card...
1-800-213-6680 and is a toxicology line for pet poisoning.
Omegosh - what a crazy few days. I always was so careful when my kids were small and thought I was over that to some degree although the kittens showed us to be so careful of little things on the ground and all....Robbie is worse than a toddler I think!!
Please pray that Robbie is OK
edit: Ok he seems fine - not sleepy or anything so maybe all the medicine came out. Now I want to faint myself. Fixed all the typos here I think
