Well when our dog did the same thing, I called poison controll, and they told me to feed her hydrogen peroxide. That will irritate the stomach and make them throw up. Do it fast

If you called some vets and they won't give you any 'free advice' without bringing dog in, then call the poison control gov't office,.. a dog is about the same weight, etc. as a child and they would tell you if it's enough to cause damage.

You could also, for now give the dog some cream/evaporated milk or just milk to coat it's tummy,... unless the dog is intolerance to milk products. It'll also promote a bowel movement.

First if she ate them with in the last 1/2 hour induce vomiting immediately. 1 tbsp of hydrogen peroxide orally, wait 10 mins, repeat if no vomiting. Then call a vet immediately, the norvasc, potassium and magnesium I know for sure could cause major problems, not sure about the rest. Good luck

if the pills were meant for humans and your dog took it, dont even ask a question JUST GO TO THE VET!!! It may be something serious but there's no taking chances in this situation. Good Luck! [if you can pay loan out money from the bank]

Phone calls are cheap...call your vet. If you can't pay anything right now, they might work out a payment plan. The most important thing is the health of you dog. Don't wait until it's too late to call for help.

just call the vet and tell them what she took. they will probably tell you to induce vomiting and will tell you how to do it. if it was over an hour ago and there hasnt been any reaction yet then you should be in the clear, i just dont know what some of those are so dont assume you're ok just yet. many vets will help you over the phone if they can.

You MAY get lucky. keep a close eye on her, she might just puke them up. If she lives the next step is to find her a good home. YOURS is NOT a good home. If it is true that you actually don't have enough money for the vet then you can barely afford to feed, shelter and clothe yourself, you shouldn't have a dog. If you are fed, clothed and sheltered well then you DO have enough money for a vet you just don't want to be inconvenienced by having to care for your dog. You shouldn't have a dog.
GIVE UP YOUR DOG YOU DON'T DESERVE HER.

Go to the drug store and as for Syrup of Ipcac. It will cause her to vomit. Even though it's been an hour it will help. The Norvasc is in particular troublesome as it is a blood pressure med.

Call your local vet. They can give you instructions to induce vomiting, if needed or tell you what else you should do.
