He ate some of the tube, which has a thin foil lining on the inside, and he ate about half of the ointment. I called the emergency vet and they said to call ASPCA poison control. I called them and found out I had to pay a $60 fee just to consult with them, which would've been fine if I actually could find my wallet, with my debit and credit cards, in all the confusion. So I hang up and somehow find the home number for his actual vet. He says to keep giving him peroxide until he throws up. I must've gave him about 4 oz's of peroxide over a 45 min period until I gave up. He's only 6 lbs. I was thinking it should have worked by then. I waited about an hour and he finally started blowing chunks. He seems fine now, besides being weak and looking worn out. I hope he's better in the morning.
how's he doing now? That's Effed up how they wanted 60 bucks before they'd even talk to you...anyone know if they have some kind of Web MD site but for animals that you could look up on the internet?
