What to do if your pet is poisoned?
Do not panic if you think your pet is poisoned. Take a minute or so to collect any of the material that you think you pet has eaten/drunk. This is very important as this can help your vet determine what poisons are involved
and what the appropriate treatment can be. It is also advisable to collect in a sealable container any material your pet may have vomited or chewed. If you see your pet eating or drinking any material that you suspect is toxic, contact your vet as soon as possible even if you have not seen any side effects yet.
