PRAYERS - I'm on hold w/ Poison control

Came home this AM to lots of vomit & an empty brand new bottle of Ibuprofen & holistic medications. I am on hold with animal poison control but it looks like i have to bring both dogs in immediatly for emergency IV fluids, activated charcoal & medical treatment or they can go into kidney failure quickly. The thing that sucks is that its lkikely they DID vomit it up, & I dont know if it was one or both dogs who ate it ... so i have to treat both. They are worth every penny to me - & Im a wreck - but its going to cost me probably $1200 today. Ugh. Please say some prayers they are ok - they are 11 & 9 & thats not young.

We think they will be ok. Apparently what happens is they dont show symptoms of kidney/renal failure until its too late - a couple days after they ingest the meds- & then you cant fix it.

I know it is expensive but I would do the same thing. Maybe the vet has a multi-dog discount or payment plan? UGH - that is expensive - but thank heavens you can do a preventative treatment.

They are adorable!!
