What should I do for a dog on amphetamines?

Answer by  GreenTema (223)

If you have amphetamines within a dogs reach you probably have worse problems than a dog on amphetamines. It's important to keep dogs away from drugs since they affect them much more strongly. You should immediately give the dog some downers, this will level out the dog's high so he can come down easy.

Take your dog to the Emergency vet IMMEDIATELY. Drugs like Adderrall and Focalin can kill dogs. They can cause seizures and heart attacks. It is vital that you have your dog checked out by a vet ASAP. They need to be on fluids and have this flushed out of their system!

Amphetamines can cause heart racing, palpitations, and an erratic heart beat. A high enough dose can cause these symptoms to lead to cardiac arrest, the heart stopping. If the dog has ingested amphetamines, get the dog to a vet as soon as possible if you want the dog to live.

First, grab the dog's collar and wrestle it onto him. Next, get into your car, making sure that the dog remains attached to the leash and is standing outside the car next to the driver's side door. Now, while hanging onto the leash, slowly drive alongside your dog as he runs all his amphetamine-fueled energy off.
