An “avoid” recommendation does not mean every accidental bite is poisoning. Ingredients, amount, time and the animal matter.
- Stop further access and keep the food or packaging.
- Record the species, product, estimated amount and time; say when an amount is unknown.
- For a known hazardous ingredient, or unusual weakness, tremors or breathing, contact a veterinarian promptly. Do not wait for symptoms after a known toxic exposure.
Do not induce vomiting or give human medicines on your own.
