Treatment
1. Call your veterinarian or the National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) immediately. The NAPCC has two telephone numbers:

1-900-680-0000 ($20 for 5 min. & $2.95/min. thereafter)
1-800-549-2423 ($30/case - credit card only)

2. If possible, have handy the label to what you think your pet has ingested.
3. Do not induce vomiting in your pet until you have spoken to your veterinarian or the NAPCC to be sure it is safe to do so.
4. DO NOT induce vomiting in your pet if they are in any kind of distress. Take to your veterinarian immediately or follow the instructions given by the NAPCC.
5. If advised by a veterinarian or the NAPCC to induce vomiting, administer one of the following using the calibrated oral/eye syringe:

• Syrup of ipecac (0.5 - 1.0 ml's per pound; wait for 20 minutes)
• Hydrogen peroxide (0.5 - 1.0 ml's per pound; repeat in 10 minutes if no vomiting occurs).
• Concentrated solutions of salt in tepid water - roughly 1 teaspoon of salt per cup of tepid water.
  

If no vomiting occurs within 15 minutes of administering any one of the foregoing, repeat the same dosage.
