jacqui835 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Just found my dog chewing on something, but when I got him to drop it I saw it was a tablet of Panadol Forte. It was still in its packaging but broken in half and half had fallen out, a home visit doctor gave me one the other day (my bf arranged for him to come over when I had the gastro bug) but I never took it. Somehow it ended up on the floor and the dog got it. The dog likely swallowed some, though probably at least 95%+ of the tablet was still there just broken in half. Will he be ok or do I need to take him to a vet? I tried washing out his mouth and have given him water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui835 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Have called vet, and they said that because he's a big dog a small amount of one tablet should be ok but to watch him closely. I was just worried it was one of those things where he would seem fine but his liver was dying and then he'd die or something and also, he's not the sort of dog to reveal pain etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Ring the vet straightaway, Panadol can be very dangerous if swallowed by dogs, hopefully you will be fine if you say 95% of the tablet is still there, but to be safe ring the vet now and watch to see if your dog starts behaving unusually, or vomiting etc Edit : Just saw your latest post, glad to know he will be fine. Good luck! Edited February 28, 2011 by silentchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Poisons hotline aren't particularly helpful for dogs. Not their jurisdiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
