Houndtime Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I wanted to give the Fuzz man his antacid and give him my .025 synthroid by mistake. Should I do anything? Watch for anything? Geez, I am stupid. They don't even look the same. One bottle is large, one is little. I was just day dreaming.

Guest BorzoiMom Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Call poison control or your ER vet to see how that would effect him, or induce vomiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I wouldn't worry. That is a fairly low dose, and as mentioned here already, MANY greys get Synthroid. This little bit should be no problem. I have almost done that a few times, with Curfew's meds. I have to keep his on top of the frig, and Dh's on the counter. Sending lots of hugs!

Guest MnMDogs Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I mistakenly gave Macy May one of Mork's 0.6mg of levothyroxine. I honestly didn't think twice about it; my vet confirmed that it's not a big deal when I asked her the next time we were in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houndtime Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I called the kennel and Lisa said that one pill of such a low dose shouldn't hurt him. I was going to call the U of P ER and ask the question, but wrote to Dr. Reisner, who was John E's doctor. She is away at a seminar, but answered my email (I love that woman). She basically said the same thing, but if I were concerned to let my vet know tomorrow. Thank you for responding. We are away on vacation for the weekend, so I have all the medicines (dog and human) on one large plastic case. Therefore, my mind was wandering and I gave him from the wrong bottle.

Guest ctgreylover Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 my boss took her dog's Lyme medication instead of hers for several days. she's a tiny woman and hes a big St Bernard.

Anne Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 One of my dogs is on 0.5 synthroid. One of my other dogs got the bottle and ate probably 10 of them, she was fine. Dogs can do the darnedest things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Glad he's okay. If it makes you feel any better, I had to call my pharmacist after taking one of Patrick's soloxine (apparently also not harmful, at least when combined with what I was taking at the time). Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.

Houndtime Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer. It was also comforting to read that I was not the only one to have given the wrong medication by mistake. Fuzzy seems, today, to be fine and suffered no ill affects from my error.

GeorgeofNE Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Synthroid is the human version of the same stuff dogs take. I would not be concerned myself.

MP_the4pack Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Because Pearl was on so many heart and BP meds and some high doses, and the others took different meds, I went out and got one of those daily pill containers and every Sunday, I put every one's meds in their respective containers. It just got too difficult to have to remember each morning and each evening who got what. It's a little easier now, with Pearl gone, but I still have meds for each and still use the pill dispenser.

LuvAPuppy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I only have one dog w/5 meds to manage so I went out too and got a weekly pill keeper. If the day is empty, I gave the meds and if it's not...oops! I also have a write on/wipe off calendar on the fridge to mark off. She gets four pills one day and five pills every three days so the calendar helps me keep track of what to put in the pill box.
