I had a very interesting conversation with someone on the
plane.
His dog, Max, ate 50 -200mg Advil tablets.
Very BAD.
Only 2 of those could be toxic.
Advil is an NSAID or non steroidal anti-INFLAMMATORY WHICH PRODUCES
dramatic drops in blood pressure, resulting in kidney damage, PLUS
Severe stomach and intestinal damage.
Max had both of these problems- Kidney Damage and
Stomach Ulceration.
He is now recovering after 7 days of treatment and a
6000 dollar bill, but he will always have some degree
of kidney disease.
Max’s owner told me that it took him over 2 hours
to see the emergency veterinarian, and in that time
most of the damage was done.
He was told NOT to do anything.
So what can you take from this?
FIRST: Keep ALL medications safely AWAY from your pets
SECOND: Know what to do IF they swallow any.
H ere is what you should KNOW:
SOLUTIONS
TO YOUR VETERINARIAN. If your pet is showing signs of ingesting
a poison, it is important that she is examined by your
veterinarian and treated appropriately. Some toxins can progress
and lead to severe seizures. If you suspect Antifreeze poisoning,
it must be treated within 4-6 hours, before irreversible kidney
damage is done.
PURGE THE POISON. In most cases of poisoning, getting your pet to
vomit is the most important thing that you can do.
To induce vomiting, give hydrogen peroxide at 1 teaspoon per 10 lbs
of body weight. If your pet doesn’t vomit in 10 minutes, repeat
again. NEVER do more than 2 treatments of peroxide. You can also
try salt: dilute 1 teaspoon of salt in a tablespoon of water per
every 10lbs of body weight.
DELAY ABSORPTION. Activated charcoal is readily available at most
pharmacies. It delays absorption of any toxin by binding to the
toxic compound in the stomach. The easiest way is to give the
capsule form. For those garbage-eating dogs (such as my own dog)
it is a good idea to have hydrogen peroxide and activated charcoal
always on hand.
P.S. Max was fortunate to even recover from this,
but IF his owner had been aware of exactly what
to do, he could have induced vomiting IMMEDIATELY and
avoided the kidney damage.
And an even better thing is to get rid off these
toxic drugs, and try some safer, alternate herbs and
homeopathics.
To get a great overview on ALL of the ALTERNATE options
that you can use for pain control, I suggest a read of
