Quick update here. Robbie is fine now - no effects at all so all or most of the medication must have come right up. I never did SEE the other half capsule so it must have dissolved. I called jazzcat and we talked a LONG time on the phone while I calmed down
She gave me another poison number that she got from the ASPCA. I don't know if it is free or not but will also keep it for reference. $35 really is not so bad as the man was a toxicologist and I can also call him back for free with the same case number and that is good to know. Anyway - the number from Lori for ASPCA Poison Control is 1-888-426-4435 They even sent her a sticker to keep it on the phone - with donation to the organization they send things like this. Hope this helps someone as BOTH numbers are now by my phone
I am glad that Dennis picked Robbie up right away and noticed the crunch sound because I never thought he would actually EAT a pill! It is a HUGE capsule!! Yes RedHedd - try to GIVE him some tiny pill he needs and I would be wrestling him. I may not have even checked as I did not think he had time or access to my pill. But, up it did come back up so this can sure happen quickly. I would not have known about the peroxide to bring something up either - but it was one teaspoon or 5cc/ml in the syringe. If he did not throw up right away I was to repaet every ten minutes though the vet said one dose is usually enough.
Thanks all - so glad for PT and calling PetTalkers at times like this.
Robbie is AWFUL!!Clumsy, pesky, annoying and I love him so much
edit: According to the ASPCA Poison Control website, the number I indicated above indicates "a $50 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card"
