Answer 1

This is bad.... get to a vet NOW.  You can also call poison control or the number on the bottle to get assistance.

Answer 2

um he could die, take him to the emergency vet. if you dad won't take him then call someone who will unless he wants a dead dog.

Answer 3

Here is the number to call at Pfizer Animal Health for overdosage:

1/800-366-5288.  It says on the information sheet I have that severe adverse reactions may occur if large quantities of tablets are ingested. If you suspect your dog has consumed Rimadyl chewable tablets above the labeled dose, please call  your veterinarian for immediate assistance and notify Pfizer animal Health.  I would say get to an emergency clinic asap.

Answer 4

So what's sleep?  Get your Dad up and tell him what's happened.  Years ago, my Dad- has a PhD.----neglected to take my dog with a 4 lb tumor to the vet for a whole year!  I yelled at Dad, the dog died.  Good LUCK!

Answer 5

YES HE IS IN SERIOUS DANGER! WAKE UP YOUR DAD NOW AND TELL HIM< GET HIM TO THE VET OR CALL THE VET TO HELP YOU!!!! NOW!!!!

Answer 6

try giving him blackened toast and make hi swallow 3% hydrogen peroxide it will induce vomiting

Answer 7

phone a vet near your home asap - they'll have an emergency number on their voice mail - talk to the vet on call !  Good luck !  I hope your dog will be fine!  I;m thinking we pray for a VERY ACTIVE dog tonight after taking all the arthritis medicine ? Hopefully that will be the worst of it ?

Answer 8

20  Rimadyl tablets is quite a lot.  Call an emergency vet clinic and ask what you should do.  A call is free.  Have the bottle handy so you can tell the vet exactly what it is.  Good luck.

Answer 9

wake your dad up and ask him or just call the vet on your own. this could be serious. but maybe not so dont be too afraid yet.

Answer 10

e-vet or your dog will die!  they need to pump his stomach.

Answer 11

You really do need to contact an emergency vet or your regular vet, if available.  You will need to provide the details to them in terms of the dosage and the weight/age of the dog that took the medication.  This is a potential for an overdose situation.  The vet will know the correct emergency care that is needed, including potentially getting your dog to vomit the meds.  Call them now!

Answer 12

get him to the vet immediately so that they can pump out his stomach
