Information on Handling Pet Poisoning

Here are some good common sense tips:

1. Never give a medication to your pet without discussing it first with your vet!!  Human medication doses and conditions vary greatly.  Some animals will die with even a small dose of certain medications.  This is especially true in cats, who metabolize aspirin differently and can die if given Tylenol.
2. Get advice early, it is usually free.  If you suspect a problem of any sort, call for advice!!
3. Early detection allows early intervention which favors better outcomes.

And here we have a list of common items pets might ingest. Remember, if you are facing an emergency situation the best thing to do is to call a professional as soon as possible to help you take the proper corrective measures.
