Ipecac is best...but two fingers down the back of the throat works too....or thinking of rosie o'donnell naked...that'll do it.

if someone has swallowed an alkali or caustic substance you should not induce vomiting, call 911 and the paramedics can provide other measures of helping that person, also if they are unconscious do not induce vomiting because they could aspirate the contents and get an infection or choke and DIE. Syrup of ipecac is no longer an accepted practice in most states.

Ipecac Syrup is probably what you want, but when my dog ate something poison a vet told me to get a couple spoonfuls of hydrogen peroxide down his throat and that made him throw up so in an emergency when you do not have time to go to the store you could try it.

salty water usially does the trick, either that or two fingers to the back of the throat. Also, when l wanted to get out of school l`d eat a load of corn flakes really quickly which would invariably bounce right back up with spectacular results.

You should NOT induce vomiting, if you or someone else has a problem with something swallowed, you need to get them to hospital as quickly as possible, then tell the hospital staff all about it.

It's best just to let mother nature have it's way. I know the waiting is hard, especially with cats since their labor can last for so long, but just let her be. Doing anything to speed up the process will most likely only cause harm. The only thing i can recommend is giving her a quiet, private, secure place to have her kittens.

You should not induce vomiting,either dilute with water or neutralise if you know what has been swallowed and seek immediate professional help,source 35 yrs Paramedic.
