What do you do for your dog if you accidentally gave him the wrong medication?

Answer by  worker7654 (1033)

You should call the vet to make sure that it is not posinous and that the dose is not toxic. If it is then the vet might have to pump the stomach.

I would definitely contact your vet's office, an emergency vet's office or the animal poison control for the best way to handle the mis-dosage. Every treatment is different based upon the type of medication and the dosage amount, so it is very important to speak to someone right away. However, keep in mind that you can induce vomiting with peroxide.

Call you vet with the name of the medication and how much he ingested to find out what you might need to do next.

Take your dog to the vet ASAP! Wrong medication for you or your dog can be deadly and in the very least not be good for your dog! It is always a good idea to be safe, so go to the vet!

Immediately bring your animal to the closest emergency vet clinic! Some types of medication can be deadly if given incorrectly. Never try to diagnose the situation yourself, always see a professional.
