Hey there! No need to panic just yet—I'm here to help. Trazodone is often used in vet medicine to help with anxiety, but it's concerning when a dog gets into it on their own. The first step is to figure out how much Bella might have consumed.
If Bella ingested the medication within the last couple of hours, watch for symptoms like:
- Lethargy or sedation
- Vomiting
- Incoordination or walking wobbly
- Increased heart rate
- Drooling
If Bella starts showing any of these signs, especially in severe forms, it’s best to get her to a vet soon. It’s crucial to call the vet if:
- She’s unresponsive or extremely lethargic.
- You notice any troubling symptoms like seizures.
While waiting, keep Bella comfortable and make sure she doesn’t have access to any more medication. If the pills are past their expiration date, it’s still important to get her checked—expired meds can still be harmful.
Dogs can have different reactions based on their size and health, so if Bella is a smaller breed, be even more cautious with any symptom. For now, monitor her closely and get professional help if you have any doubts or she seems to be getting worse.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
