I was just sitting around, thinking about:

Pandemic Poisons.

10/23/2020

 
I can tell you my cocktail consumption has definitely gone up by 169% since the start of the pandemic. People are spending more time at home and entertaining themselves with various edibles that aren't so great for animals. Luckily people are home to notice quickly and call poison control. It's always better to prevent ingestion, but if your pet gets into something and you're worried, contact poison control RIGHT away, time is of the essence to prevent or minimize absorption of toxins. 
 Get this number in your phone's address book. There is a cost, it is worth it. 

                                               Pet Poison Control : 855 764 7661

Once you've determined if your pet needs medical attention, you'll have a case number to provide to your local veterinarian who will be able to access the recommended treatment options. We know a lot as general practitioners but we'll often need to access the recommended therapies and doses for a specific type or form of toxin and if you do this before you come in, we can work faster and more  efficiently to minimize the deleterious effects of the ingested material.
