POISON HOTLINE FOR PETS!
Kansas State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital
is offering a FREE poison control hotline for pet
owners and veterinarians (Monday-Friday 8-5pm).
1+785-532-5679 is the number and the service has
been available since 1969. Dr Oehme, a vet and
professor in toxicology and pathology oversees the
hotline. Dr Oehme offers these suggestions:
Be patient. The person answering the phone may
have to take a few minutes to consult the vet on
duty.
Call as soon as
possible. Immediate
attention might save your animal. But waiting to see
if there is a reaction could cost your animal their
life.
Have any product labels available for answers. The
vet might need to know milligrams and generic names.
Know that the toxicologists are also taking calls
from vets about other animals and other problems,
including those problems with large animals.
