My 5 week old chihuahua ate like 35 mg of venaflaxine hes only like 4 pounds

As your small dog is already displaying symptoms of toxicity, they need to see a vet immediately. Worryingly, at high doses this drug can cause seizures and heart rhythm irregularities. The vet will provide care such as intravenous fluids, active warming and the administration of IV drugs. If the medicine was recently ingested, they will also induce vomiting. The sooner your dog is seen, the better the prognosis.

My four month old pup injected one of my 37.5mg tablets and had half of one in his mouth once I got a hold of him. He weighs about 30 lbs-- do I need to be worried?

Hello It is recommended that you call a pet poison hotline or take your dog to a veterinarian immediately.

My dog got into my brand new 90 day supply of venlafaxine. I have no idea how much she got but my parents don't seemed worried. Will she die from this? This just happened and I have yet to see her yet to know how she is.

If the package was a new 90 day supply it should be easy to workout how many were consumed; once you know how many were consumed you can contact the Pet Poison Helpline for further instructions on what to do based on the amount consumed and Misha’s weight.

my 7 lb. pomeranian ate part of a effexor 75mg, this morning, acting normal , some powder was left behind including shell of capsule. Vet said call poison control, they charge $65.00 for advice, cannot believe that. Please help.

Without knowing whether she ate the medication or not, it is hard to comment on whether she will show signs of toxicity. Symptoms of poisoning include (even at low levels) vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures, abdominal pain, change in behavior and other neurological signs; these symptoms may have a delayed onset, due to the nature of the medication. If she is showing any of those signs, your Veterinarian would give supportive therapy by ensuring that Maia remains hydrated and any neurological symptoms are managed.
