  1. Give her some milk.  I will pray for her.  I believe she will be okay, she may be sick for a few days.  Did she eat a whole lot or just a small amount of dye?


  2. OMG!!!! call your vet asap!! your dog could die! let her throw up! it should get most of it out of her system. you should not be on yahoo answers right now, you should be calling your vet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. long answer short call the vet

  4. Call the 1-800 # on the bottle. If you can't get a human, call poison control. That is what your vet will do anyway, they will let you know if you need to seek medical attention!

  5. There is absolutely nothing that you can do at home to make your dog safe at this point and time.

    Hair dye is toxic, and you need to take her to an emergency vet before she goes into toxic shock and risks dying.

    Here is the poison control hot line for ANIMALS, its a twenty-four hour number: 888-426-4435

  6. You need to see a vet asap!!

  7. call the aspca poising control center

    her is the info:

    They will charge you but they can tell you how to get the dog to throw up more or if you need to take her to the ER.

  8. Ready for this?

    FIRST: IF IN DOUBT, CALL YOUR VET. There are some poisons / items that are best left in the dog. Inducing vomiting could cause further damage in some cases. Most vets will tell you over the phone to induce vomiting or not.

    In the case of ibuprophen it always a 'make them vomit', as the longer the pills sit in the stomach the higher the risk for gastric ulcers and/or renal damage.

    If you just watched your dog gulp down a pair of underware or a rat (and you know who you are!) and you'd like them to return them to you, follow the simple steps outlined below!

    1. Feed the dog a nice big bowl of food so it has some extra 'stuff' to throw up. In the case of pills this makes it more probable that that all of the pills will come up. In the case of other nasty stuff, it gives the dog more volume to help things come up easier (important when you need to get bones or plastic to come up)

    2. Use a medicine dropper - sold at any pharmacy for giving kids medicine - to give the dog 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Three teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. Hold the dog's mouth open and stick the dropper in their throat, then hold the dog's mouth shut to force them to swallow.

    3. Back up and wait.

    You MUST have 'fresh' hydrogen peroxide for this. To test your HP, put a little in your mouth, it should fizz immediately. If not go get a new bottle. The HP will fizz when it hits the dog's stomach, your dog may foam at the mouth for a bit and vomit a little. DO NOT bring your dog in after the first 'spit up'. Until they have really heaved a few times they are not done. It can take about 15 minutes. If they have not vomited in that time, give another tablespoon of HP.

    Don't let the dog eat or drink for a few hours or they may vomit it up again. I let Ruby drink and vomit a few times to clear the bad taste out, so we just stayed in the yard for an hour or so.

    Be prepared for lots of dirty looks from your dog.  

  9. run her around ALOT so she gets thirsty so she can get water down her throught.

  10. you need to get you pet to the animal E.R. and get the h**l of the computer!  You should have also called poison control already by now.  Where is your brain, or did you dog eat that too!
