I just need someone to maybe dumb it down a little for me. Here's what happened, this morning i'm literally leaving the house for work (getting watch on, shutting blinds, turning on discovery channel for dogs) when i notice them chewing on something. I go check it out. it's one of them travel bottles of Advil. (disclaimer: I have NO IDEA where they got the bottle. All my medicines are in upper cabinet. i'm SPECULATING that they found the travel bottle in my camera bag or something). I took the bottle and 2 pills from the floor (the bottle only holds 10 tablets and I don't know how many were already gone from bottle). I remembered reading somewhere that Advil wasn't good for dogs so i called the animal ER they said get them in. so we were at ER within 30minutes of them ingesting the advil. ER gave them something to throw up everything in their stomach. there were no pills so they think pills already disolved. When the vet was talking to me, i was an emotional WRECK and she gave me so much information that not only was it too much, but using medical terms that i'm not familiar with. I called up to the ER a little bit ago and their blood levels normal. they'd like to keep dogs for 48 hours, but it's $1500/dog per night which is $3000 total per 24 hours. Is this safe to treat at home since their blood levels are normal? Dogs are 2 females, utd on shots and 20lbs each.
