 If you know that your dog has ingested medications or drugs that are not caustic, (a strong acid or alkali, kerosene), you should induce vomiting quickly. To induce vomiting give the dog one to two teaspoons of Ipecac or hydrogen peroxide (1:1 with water) orally with a spoon. Then give milk mixed with a raw egg at 1/4 cup per 10 lbs. of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is already losing consciousness or is beginning to convulse. If veterinarian care is immediately available, do not waste your time on home treatments. You should have the dog seen by your veterinarian to make sure no drug remains in the dog's body and to check for any side effects. *********  Back to Main Page
