Wednesday wisdom!!!! 👇🏻
A little follow up to yesterday’s post regarding toxic foods. 🤢☠️🥘
This is the number to the animal poison control hotline. I personally keep this on my refrigerator. There is a fee to consult with them but they are an excellent resource when your pet (any kind) may have eaten or come in contact with something toxic. 🚨☎️
When you call your vet they will very often call this line. It’s much faster than trying to frantically search the internet or veterinary books for answers. Sometimes every passing minute counts and this is what these people are here for. 🙌🏻 24-7 including holidays! It’s a wonderful service provided by caring animal people. 🐾❤️
It’s a number we never want to have to call but it’s one that I always have at the ready. 🚑
If you ever find yourself needing to call them try to have as much information gathered as you can.
What did they eat or come in contact with?
How much quantity in ounces or grams or how many pills, batteries, chocolates….
What strength of medication or how dark was the chocolate? What kind of chemical?
Mouse poison? What kind and how much? Have the package to read from if possible!!!
How much does your pet weigh and do they take any medications?
You get the picture. The more information you can give when you call the faster you can get answers as to what, if anything, needs to be done to help your beloved pet.
