1. Stay calm and observe
Note what was eaten, roughly how much, and when: this speeds up any call with a vet or poison control.
2. Do not induce vomiting unless told to
Some substances cause more damage coming back up. Only induce vomiting if a vet or poison control instructs you to.
3. Call a professional
Your vet, an emergency animal hospital, or an animal poison control hotline can tell you if this needs immediate care.
