There is a poison control center for animals, but I've lost the number. I called it when Lady Coco got drunk on flea meds (an alcohol base). Does anyone have it for Buttercup?

BC, just in case you should need this information:
What should I do if I think my pet ate something poisonous?
If your animal is having seizures, losing consciousness, is unconscious or is having difficulty breathing, telephone ahead and bring your pet immediately to your local veterinarian or emergency veterinary clinic. If necessary, he or she may call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
Otherwise, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline at (888) 426-4435. It says there is a fee for the phoneline.
Also, http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/what-to-do-if-your-pet-is-poisoned.html suggests 3 % peroxide solution to induce vomiting but cautions that you should be familiar with its use. (I'm afraid I'm not).
As always, http://www.avma.org/firstaid/procedures.asp is a good site to have bookmarked for emergencies.

Holy Smokes BC!! I'm glad you were able to find someone who could help you. Bless that pharmacist for being in the right place/right time for you. I hope your baby Bobbie Sue has no ill effects from it. That would send me into an instant panic too!

Thanks to everyone who replied,Bobbie seems fine,she just drank a little milk,she tolerates it well.I'll continue to watch her. I had to look her pill up on one of the petmedline sites to find it was the wrong dose,the vet gave me it and another color pill. I'm going back with both tomorrow. Gosh I was so scared.[[[[Hugs back}}}

Wow Cheri,that is great info,I'm going to C&P it,I didn't believe how flustered and shook up and useless I was.I'm still kinda misty.
