Household and Prescription Medications

Household and prescription medications vary widely of course;  dogs are the most common culprits. 

Over the counter cold remedies can be problematic in large amounts or for small pets.  Non steroidal anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants and other common medications are potentially very serious if left unaddressed. Antibiotics are the least likely to cause life threatening problems. 

In all cases, call us or call Animal Poison Control  for advice.  In almost all cases, emptying the stomach by inducing vomiting is a reasonable starting place.
