Roughly 30 minutes ago I dropped a 250 mg Acetaminophen PM gelcap on the floor and before I could bend over to pick it up, my 1yr old Chihuahua snatched it up and ran off with it. I tried to catch him before he could swallow it, but he's a quick little bugger. I know that acetaminophen is highly toxic for dogs (and extremely toxic for cats), potentially lethal. I gave him 1 ml of peroxide about 15 minutes ago and another less than 5 min. ago to hopefully induce vomiting. We've had no results so far. Is there anything more I can do besides wait and watch for symptoms of liver toxicity develop? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance...

The effects of acetaminophen poisoning are quite serious, often causing non-repairable liver damage. Dogs will typically experience acetaminophen toxicity at over 75 mg per kg body weight.

Thank you. That does help a bit. Zeus weighs around 5-6 lbs... (approx. 11-13 kg). I plan on watching him throughout the night, just in case. Thank you again!

I think you might be doing your math wrong. 6 pounds is equal to 2.7 kg, not 11 kg.

You are absolutely right... I did my cipherin' backwards. Stress will do that to a person. Thanks for the correction!

I would call your vet just to ask what else you can do, and if you need to bring him in.

That would have been the logical right from from the start. Before even posting here

Logic has never been a strong suit with most of the people that post here. Sadly.

Can we get a doggy update ?
