Folks, this important message is from a member of a dog group I'm in and I wanted to spread the word so others don't go through the scare his family did:
"Ok…. A feeling of depression and failure. Our dog took an Albuterol inhaler off the nightstand. Not sure if you all know this or not, but the residue apparently smells like meat to a dog. Needless to say, Tucker chewed it open. It popped in his mouth.
PSA: this is HIGHLY toxic to dogs at this level. Their potassium levels crash and they are in danger of cardiac arrest. My brilliant wife rushed him to the vet. It likely saved his life.
At the Emergency Vet ( trust me , you don’t want to know the cost), they informed me this happens about 3 times a month. If you have Asthma, please be diligent with your inhaler. If they do get it, don’t f #%^ around. Get to the vet or the pet ER.
Feel free to share with other pet owners… the bigger dangers are the ones we don’t always see."
