So after my dog vomited up the plum pit and acted normal does that mean she is ok? There is so much negativity about using hydrogen peroxide that I’m freaked.…
When using hydrogen peroxide in dogs (NEVER cats), it can result in gastritis and stomach upset. I would contact your veterinarian asap to discuss OTC medications for your dog post hydrogen peroxide or call ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center for advice too.
This worked! My 11lb chihuahua stole a chocolate protein cookie off the counter and I gave him two teaspoons of peroxide. Measured it and pulled his head back and had him swallow it. He vomited all the cookie up in a few minutes. Thanks!
thank you for raising awareness. and thank you for everything. taking it home seems inevitable but not fair. So many vet have only four legged family members due to the demands on our time. it is a difficult and demanding field..
I noticed my boy had a little blood on his chin so I checked it out and he had a ton of pimples. We spent time gently popping because the ones that were older looked to be getting infected and I washed it with soap and water and rinsed it off well. It seems to be working. I keep washing it every day I’m definitely gonna try the witch hazel.
My kitty (3 mths) seems to be choking and is thus tramatised. There's a fish bone I guess. Which has gone in but it's not eating anything assuming that the bone is there in it's throat. Kindly advise
Induce vomiting ASAP! Try it 3 times safely!!! Don’t be an idiot! If not vomiting straight to the vet! 1.5h is nothing man! Just your lazy arse and convenience is on the way. Imagine your mother saying that to you when you were sick. Oh, it’s a hassle taking him to the doctor. I’ll monitor him or ask the online audience to keep an eye! WTF?!!
Lifesaver! Thank you for this! My 1yr old rescue managed to get into some mouse bait/poison and thanks to your video tutorial, I was able to induce vomiting within 8 minutes of my little BFF’s ingesting the poison. It totally worked just as you described. He only weighs about 19lbs, so I adjusted your suggested dosage to 1.5 teaspoons and within 3 minutes he puked up the undigested mouse/rat bait/poison. Thanks again!!!
Your kitty looks amazing for an 18 year old. My cat lived until 19. In the final year she definitely started looking older and more frail. Bless your little one. I hope that he is doing well though I realize this was 4 years ago. He is so lucky to have you.
My chihuahua/Min Pin Mix ate 4 grapes. I called the vet and took him to ER. They induced vomiting and only 1 grape came up. They took baseline labwork and sent me home with instructions to return the next day.The vet took labwork and there were elevated blood results. He was hospitalized-hooked up to IV, and he’s been in the hospital 2 days. Waiting for him to come home. 😢
God bless you it worked!!!!!!!! Geeeeezus. 2 tsp in her mouth and after 5 mins she threw up the tampon in bits and pieces. Ugh my heart!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Hello Dr.Lee , i hope this comment finds you well, i tried using the stridex pads for my cat, and she wouldnt sit still and i accidentally wiped roughly and an area on her chin started to bleed a little 😢 will this cause any harm to my cat, and is the stridex completely safe to use?
Why would you say "how to induce vomiting in a cat" and then tell me not to do it?!!! I was actually trying to find some help!!! What a colossal waste of my time!
