It is always best to prepare your veterinarian with exactly what (and how much of it) your pet ate and with a poison control case number. [Also, speak to a veterinarian before inducing vomiting in your pet as some toxins can cause more harm if brought back up.] You will need your credit card – there is a $65 consultation fee (well worth it considering it may help save your pet’s life).
