My sister's dog ate Zoloft!?
My sister's dog got into her roommates Zoloft, fish oil pills and caffeine pills - why the hell those were left within a dogs reach I will never know, but my sister just dropped the dog off with my husband on her way to work - should he call a vet? I have no clue what the dosage was (the pills weren't in their prescription bottle - again, WTF) and she isn't doing anything unusual according to my husband. She's a bit hyper - but that's nothing new. I think it happened about two hours ago, but I'm not sure. I'm gonna absolutely kill the person that was dumb enough not to put things away....
Thank you in advance!
I called THREE different vets (our regular is out sick) and they all suggested supervision - no vomiting, no office visit. They weren't overly concerned, since she didn't ingest an entire bottle of any of them (roommate thinks at the most, 2 pills of each).
But thanks everyone! At last check-in, her and my dog were doing laps and torturing the cats.

You should probably call the vet and see if a visit is needed in case the dog ODd and then rush it over.

If a CHILD had gotten into these things do you think you'd be asking about medical care? ;)
Get that dog to a vet and demand your sister covers the bill. That zoloft is dosed for a 120-180 lb adult human. Most dogs weigh a fraction of that. Even one pill can spell trouble, but it seems to me that there's no way of knowing if this dog ate several. Zoloft alone can kill this dog. Caffeine can cause seizures and cardiac failure. Caffeine in the form of a pill can kill this dog.
This is a medical emergency. Call the vet immediately and ask if you should induce vomiting. Get this dog into a veterinarian immediately. Do not wait to schedule. This is an emergency.

Call your vet. You will be advised that if it happened with in the last 4 hours you should make it vomit by giving it a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. Since you do not know how much the dog ate of each, it SHOULD go into a vet right away. Those drugs can cause serious issues with a dog.

Now the dog won't be depressed. But there is a possability it will start considering suicide.

Talk about puppy uppers - call the vet and make sure its not a health risk.

...................... and I can only presume that the reason for her not asking this question is because she is currently rushing the dog to the vets; right?!?!?
