Pet Toxic and Poison Ingestion

If you know the type of toxin that was ingested, collect as much detail as possible and call Poison Control. When appropriate, we can induce vomiting to remove as much of the toxin as possible. Each toxin will have different effects, so call us immediately to discuss the best plan of action.

Some toxins require emergency critical care and hospitalization, so please call Poison Control and follow the recommendations. You may need to take your pet straight to an ER.

Never self-medicate your pet.

Type of Toxic and Poison Ingestion:

  • THC ingestion from edibles, vapes, or any part of the cannabis plant can be extremely dangerous for pets. Symptoms may include lethargy, uncoordinated movements, and vomiting. Visit our Sarasota urgent care vet clinic for prompt treatment to alleviate symptoms and ensure your pet’s safety.
