Enter your dog's details for a straight answer sized to them.
Why Sertraline is dangerous
Sertraline changes serotonin signaling. An accidental overdose can cause serotonin syndrome, with agitation, abnormal heart rate, tremors, high temperature, or seizures.
Signs to watch for
Vomiting, sleepiness or agitation, wobbliness, tremors, fast heart rate, fever, seizures
What to do next
Keep the bottle or packaging, count what may be missing, and call for case-specific guidance even if your dog looks normal.
Risk depends on tablet strength, number swallowed, body weight, and other serotonin-affecting medicines. More than the prescribed amount needs prompt case-specific advice.
Can I treat this at home?
Do not induce vomiting or give food, charcoal, or another medicine unless a veterinarian or poison specialist directs you.
When should I call the vet?
Call your veterinarian or an animal poison control center now with the product strength, amount missing, time, and your dog's weight.
