If your dog has eaten any type of cold medicine, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately. The active ingredients in cold medicines can be toxic to dogs, and even small amounts can cause serious problems.
Symptoms of cold medicine toxicity in dogs can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory problems
- Heart problems
Treatment for cold medicine toxicity in dogs will depend on the type of medicine that was ingested and the amount that was consumed. In some cases, your veterinarian may induce vomiting or give your dog activated charcoal to absorb the toxins. In more severe cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for supportive care.
It is important to keep all medications out of reach of dogs. If you think your dog has eaten any type of cold medicine, do not wait to see if they develop symptoms. Call your veterinarian immediately for advice.
