I had a pet scare of my own last night. Right before I left for work, I was in the kitchen taking my meds. As I was taking my heartburn pill, I dropped one on the floor. My dog was right at my feet, and gobbled it up before I could stop him. I thought "well, there's nothing I can do now. I hope he'll be ok. " I had not been at work for half an hour when my wife called and said he was vomiting and crapping uncontrollably. My mother knows a veterinarian, so I told my wife to call my mom and see if she could get ahold of her vet friend. She did, and the get said it would most definitely make him sick, and maybe even depressed, but that it should not be fatal and that if he were still sick come morning to bring him in for treatment.
Well, when I got home this morning I was greeted with a wagging, bouncing, licking dog! What a relief!
My thoughts and prayers are with you Dave, I hope all is well.
