Ok Sally, time to take your own advice and take a deep breath..... You know I am not a vet, but I have to do what I can to send my love and support to you, I DO know how scary this is. My Maggie once got into a bottle of Tylenol years ago that was on my tall dresser, how she got them we STILL have no idea, and just recently, Zuzu decided to get into a bag of her pre-prepared heart medications in pill pockets..... Maggie had to spend the night at the E.R. as well with the charcoal treatment and forced vomiting etc.... Tylenol is much more dangerous I think for dogs than Rimadyl is, but Frankie sure helped himself, didn't he. Zuzu luckily didn't consume enough to hurt her so I was thankful for that. She is also a counter surfer which we still cannot break her of.

I would think if Frankie was able to vomit some of the Rimadyl up, that is all the better for him. I wish I could help out some other way, but just know we all are here for you and always will be...... I will be saying some prayers for Frankie and you tonight, and sending hugs to you. I know you will keep us updated as much as possible. <3

Keeping you and him in my constant thoughts,
And so much Love being sent your way,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, and girls

P.S. I used Denosyl for Polly during her Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia diagnosis, when the high amount of steroids shot her liver values to kingdom-come...... Thankfully, she never developed liver damage from all that. There is also a similar medication called Denimarin, and a supplement by Vetri-Science, called Vetri-Liver, all great products.

Oh my goodness Frankie!! I have no experience with this Sally but I just wanted to send you lots of positive vibes and hugs this morning. This isn't anything you did so don't beat yourself up about it. Who would have ever thought Frankie would eat medicine off the counter, he won't even touch a puppy latte! I'm glad they were able to get some of the Rimadyl out of his stomach. Please keep us updated.

HUGS

Oh Sally I'm so sorry!  But you caught it quickly and now he's where he needs to be to get better.  Many healing vibes coming Frankie's way for a fast recovery and love and hugs to all three of you!  Frankie next year you wait for Mom to take you trick or treating no helping yourself!!!  Please keep us posted on Frankie's progress we'll be waiting.

Oh Sally, I'm so sorry you're going through this!!

But yes, I can also relate!

When Cassie was a puppy we weren't able to crate her - she was horrible!  lol pooped every time, made a horrible mess, but she was mostly house trained so the vet suggested just not crating her.  So one morning my husband left for work like usual and I stopped for groceries on my way home from work.  The dogs were home for maybe an hour before I got there.  One good thing is that whatever Cassie would chew - usually one of my knick knacks - she would bring into the living room, so I would see it as soon as I walked in the door.  Well that morning I walked in and I saw my husband's weekly pill-minder on the floor!  It was only Tuesday and Tuesday through Friday were all opened.  He's on a high dose of a cardiac medication, a blood pressure pill plus a vitamin.  I found the vitamins, apparently they tasted horrible, and a couple of the other pills, but not many.  So I called the vet while I was running the groceries into the house, throwing the cold stuff into the fridge, and I had to lock Taz up in the bedroom so I could run Cassie to the vet.  She was maybe 5 or 6 months old at the time.  They called the poison control number who, of course, kept saying they didn't know about the cardiac medication with dogs.  Well, what do you want me to do? That's what she ate!  ugh  They did the morphine drops in here eye, too, but that didn't do anything either, but the charcoal did   They kept her for the day and gave her fluids and thankfully she was fine.  But I worried about damage to her heart for months!

Keep us updated!
