Possible emergency:OD on Bose/steroids

SJSFarm · #1 03/15/14, 06:42 PM

I was out of town for the day and one of my animals knocked down and broke two nearly full (100ml) bottles. One BoSe and the other was a steroid.

My 5 month old husky licked some up before my friend - here to care for everyone while I was gone- could stop him. I have 4 cats and another dog in the house where this was.

I had the meds for the goats, this is why I'm posting this here.

Do I need to worry? All the animals are acting ok now.

Call the vet and see if inducing vomiting is advised. You can then try it at home with hydrogen peroxide. Once the vomiting is done, you can then give activated charcoal. There may be other things they might want to give or watch for for these specific meds, so call to vet is advisable.

I did they never bothered to callback!

Everyone is totally normal this morning. And again, I've no idea at what time yesterday it occurred.

I've no way to gauge the amount of liquid left on the floor vs the amount in the bottle vs the amount that would be dangerous if consumed.

Frustration! I did some research and the steroid is what I should be most concerned and he (the pup) never showed symptoms of the overdose.

I've got a call into another vet, but still no callback in that one either
