Every time the economy takes a downturn, people try to save money by self diagnosing and treating their pets. This practice often results in what I like to call, "uninformed poisoning". The well-meaning owner actually poisons their pet. Please talk to your veterinarian before giving any medication to your dog.
Great--and very important--post. I recently left some of my meds in an open suitcase on the floor, thank god I got to them before Henry (my Westie) did.
