Riverhound Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sigh. At some point today, don't know when, one or both dogs ate an almost full 8 oz bottle of salmon oil. It was intended for them, but not in that quantity. I had hubby google-- he didn't find anything. They seem fine. Reassure me? (Or freak me out. Whichever is warranted.)

macoduck Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Oh my. While I see diarrhea in your future, all I can think of is that their blood may be thinned to the point of not clotting until the salmon oil is out of their system. Googling around I see mention of increased bruising, dizziness and nausea. http://fishoildogs.net/blog/to-much-fish-oil-can-be-bad-for-your-dog/ http://saveabull.com/dog-ate-fish-oil/ http://startupfiance.com/2010/intervention/ Edited April 17, 2015 by macoduck Quote Freshy (Droopys Fresh), NoAh the podenco orito, Rita the podenco maneta, Howie the portuguese podengo maneto Angels: Lila, the podenco, Mr X aka Denali, Lulu the podenco andaluz, Hada the podenco maneta, Georgie Girl (UMR Cordella), Charlie the iggy, Mazy (CBR Crazy Girl), Potato, my mystery ibizan girl, Allen (M's Pretty Boy), Percy (Fast But True), Mikey (Doray's Patuti), Pudge le mutt, Tessa the iggy, Possum (Apostle), Gracie (Dusty Lady), Harold (Slatex Harold), "Cousin" Simon our step-iggy, Little Dude the iggy ,Bandit (Bb Blue Jay), Niña the galgo, Wally (Allen Hogg), Thane (Pog Mo Thoine), Oliver (JJ Special Agent), Comet, & Rosie our original mutt.

KF_in_Georgia Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Call your vet. That's a lot of fat and there may be a risk of pancreatitis, but I'm not sure what the vet would advise. 8 oz. of Salmon oil is generally 335% an adult human's daily allowance of fat, and I don't think it helps that it's "good" fat. And yes--there's the clotting issue to worry about.

Riverhound Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wonderful. This means Brees is going to get a cat tonight and I won't be able to stop the bleeding. Calling the e-vet. Quote Masterful Joe and Naughty N Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am convinced some (possibly rancid) fish oil gave my dog a near-pancreatitis crisis (she was just under the threshold for acute pancreatitis). If you see any problems (hers was diarrhea that did not resolve over some days) I would take it very seriously. She was on a pretty heavy dose of metronidazole for a month and has been fed low fat ever since.

Riverhound Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 The E-vet is probably going to tell you to call the poison line. They did. I did. I'm to expect barfing and poop leakage. Fudge. Dad and I made the 15 hour drive from Florida yesterday. I arrived home at 1:30. Sleep at 2:30. Awake at 6:30 -- then bridesmaid crap for the big fat Guate-Paki-Rican wedding all day. I'm so done. The shower is tomorrow. I have to be there at 7:30. Ahhhhhhhh! This should totally be in Soap Box. Quote Masterful Joe and Naughty N Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
