Vet overdosed my dog w/ vetmedin - what to do now?!

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, but let's address the situation together. Vetmedin is typically given for heart issues, and an overdose can be concerning. Common symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, or changes in heart rate or breathing. In severe cases, it can cause weakness or collapse.



First, ensure your dog is resting in a comfortable and safe environment. Keep an eye on their breathing and activity levels. Offer them small amounts of water to stay hydrated, but avoid food if they seem nauseous.



While you keep a watchful eye, look for any worsening signs, such as unusual lethargy, difficulty in breathing, swollen abdomen, or unresponsive behavior, as these could indicate a more serious issue. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek emergency veterinary care immediately.



Even if your dog seems okay now, I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can evaluate your dog's symptoms more accurately and guide you on any necessary steps. Remember, addressing issues early can help ensure your furry friend's health and peace of mind for you.
