To start off I have short term memory loss ... Not an excuse for what I am about to say ....
I was going to take 2 excedrin, the extra strength kind but the door bell rang and I set them down but I can't remember were. It is a small house and I checked every possible and impossible spot. I cannot find them so after 20 minutes of looking I called poison control and they said I should be fine without inducing vommiting but they said to do it anyways, which I did with 3tbsp of peroxide. So after 15 minutes she puked 3 times. Since then she is fine just a little nervous.
Will she be fine? I cannot afford a vet visit unless it is absolutely necessary.
What I also found is that 100mg of Tylenol=1kilogram of weight. She is 35 kilograms (72 pounds) So including the Tylenol and caffeine it would be 10 kilograms of weight total. I am not sure about aspirin though.
Please only serious answers, by people with similar issues or trained vets:)
Thanks!! I love my baby so please help!!
Hi, I understand your concern as tylenol/eccederine can be toxic but the good news is that your baby is a large breed so it would have been a low amount that metabolized and thus more than likely not a problem, especially since you did induce vomiting with the peroxide and it did result in vomiting as a result. I am sure she will be fine, just watch her and note anything off such as appetite, diarrhea, lethargic and check her gums to make sure they are nice and pink, You can also lightly pull down her lower eye lids and check for pinkness there too. If they appear pale (such as in very light, white or tan looking) do take her in to the vet for blood work to check her liver and kidney values. I hate to say this but as a veterinary technician, I know that if you call they will tell you that they cannot diagnose over the phone and that if you are concerned then you should bring her in. I think she should be fine since you immediately induced vomiting which was successful, but if you are still worried, please do take her in. Good luck!
if you did what poison control said to do and you see no problems i think she will be fine. if you start to see any signs of a problem or a mood change you should take her to a vet and have her looked at. good luck hope everything works out.
I suggest you call the vet (emerg vet if reg is closed). Just ask them for advice - tell them you can afford to come in, they will likely help you over the phone.

She should be okay .... years ago I had a small Silky Terrier who was on antibiotics ... I took his pill out and one of my Allegra sinus pills out ... put them both on the table ... went to wrap "tigers" pill in a pill pocket & gave it to him .... a little later I went to take my sinus pill and found the dogs pill instead ..... needless to say I had wrapped my sinus pill up & gave it to him .... I sat up all night with him ... he did not die but what a horrible effect it had on him .... it made him super super super hyper .... he could not sleep for that night & neither did I. .... it took about 12 hours for it to leave his system and he was back to normal .... what a horrible experience, I never felt so bad in my life .... but it sounds like your pooch should be fine ....=0)
You have taken an important first step with the induced vomiting, and as your dog is not convulsing or showing signs of major organ failure, she should recover with the following precautions: first reduce the workload of the liver and the kidney. A bland diet of cooked white rice is recommended for several days (though do NOT fast her entirely; she needs to eat and drink lots of water). Reintroduce protein, ie her regular food, by gradually mixing it into the rice. Next, if you can afford it, consider giving her some DOG (NOT HUMAN) vitamin supplements, particularly antioxidant vitamins and minerals. A good multi can be found at any pet store for less than $ 10. If your dog shows any lingering symptoms of weakness or distress, then you will need to take her to a vet. Use the Net to find low-cost vets that will work with your financial needs. Last, don't blame yourself too much; mistakes happen, though use this experience to make sure that your house is "poison-free" in the future.
