If your dog has ingested propanolol, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately. The effects of propanolol can range from mild to severe, and may include:
* Slow heart rate
* Lethargy
* Weakness
* Confusion
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Seizures
* Coma
The treatment for propanolol toxicity will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In mild cases, the dog may be given activated charcoal to absorb the medication from the stomach. In more severe cases, the dog may need to be hospitalized and given intravenous fluids and medications to support the heart and respiratory functions.
The prognosis for dogs who have ingested propanolol is generally good if the medication is caught early and treated promptly. However, there is always the potential for serious complications, so it is important to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible if your dog has ingested this medication.
Preventing propanolol toxicity is crucial, so make sure the following steps are taken:
* Always keep any medications in a place that is out of reach of your dog.
* Dispose of any unused medications in a safe manner.
* Speak to your veterinarian immediately if you think your dog has ingested propanolol or any other medication.
