HELP!!!!

Darcy has possibly eaten 1/2 of an anadin ibuprofen ingriedients are 200g of ibruprofen. I've called 3 different vets who told me that she needs watching and to try make her sick (using fingers). But the RSPCA said she'll need her stomach pumping, I'm at my whits end I've given her charcoal biscuits & she is fine in herself but I'm worried if I leave her & do nothing then any complications may be irreversible. Plz help thx in advance.

I have no idea were they came from either!!! They're not something any of us take!!!

You need to keep an eye on her and try some charcoal biscuits but what on EARTH is with vets telling people to stick their fingers down their dogs throats! This is really making me angry.

Do NOT do that.

I'd go with the majority and keep an eye on her, but if anything worries you, best bet would be to go to the vets to be safe.

Going to the vets being the operative. There is no point phoning they will just tell you rubbish like to stick your hand down their throat!

p.s. use a different vet!

How do you know she may have eaten it ?? Did you see any remains of it ??

yes Kathy there was the remains of a tablet next to her wen I turned round which I removed immediately.

Sorry panda, i had to delete that. It is not advice we would welcome here, even in a real emergency.

Something tells me she may have crunched it up but would most likely spit it out as they taste absolutely VILE! I'm hoping for the best for you. Keep a very close eye on her. I'm in agreement with everyone on the "fingers down throat" thing, I don't like that at all.

How is everything?

Update on darcy- she's all good so far I gave her charcoal biscuits on have watched her avidly, still really confused as to were it came from!
I feel like I should have Pre-empted it even though I don't even knw how she got it? I was crying to my mum, WHAT IF SHE DIES!!! I was a mess & have calmed slightly now. She the love of our lives & I have spent all afternoon searching every room in the house top to bottom with my mum checking there nothing lurking for her to find. Thx all for ur replies & concern xxx

awww so sorry to hear about this, im sure if she not showing signs now then you are hopefully in the clear! but if some one told me to put my fingers down my dogs throat i would certainly ask if i had called the correct number!!!

I actually rang back to see if I'd misheard only to be told the same thing, hence I will not be using their service.

Darcy tonight with my son xx

Glad to hear she's well. Puppies are a nightmare for being able to find things they shouldnt be eating. Don't beat yourself up about it. I think she would have shown signs by now.

I'm still adamant she'd have spat what she had out. Logan used to eat little stones and he'd have crunched away at them but after a few seconds they would have been spat out.

Thx mat it's a minefield lol puppyhood, but worth every bomb that goes of lol x

My pup is the same, eating fish food and strepsils, its a nightmare haha

Buster has eaten a chewing gum tonight they fell out my partners pocket and buster was quicker than him he seems fine hope his yummy will be through the night. But at least he has minty fresh breath lol

Glad she is okay now. Shes a ringer for my girl

Glad all is well
