So glad you dog is home and I'm sure it will be okay. As a mom of Many, Many, Many dogs, we have gone through a lot of accidents similar to this. Quite a few years ago, one of my very feisty schnauzers got into a pill bottle of my husband's and took a few of them. We rushed him to the vet and he was forced to vomit and stay overnight on an IV. He did fine and never had a future problem from it.

When I moved here, I hired an exterminator to take care of a few mice that I had in the house and he put rat bait pellets in the garage, which I didn't know about. My very young female got into the garage and I found her with a blue mouth (the pellets were blue). OMG... HEART ATTACK time. I called the company and spoke to the poison control people who told me to go to the vet, bring the pellets and to have the vet call them immediately. I did that,,, she survived, little brat took 20 mins to throw up, but she did and then I had to put her on Vit K for awhile. I never thought she would make it, but she did and she's fine (still a little crazy, lol).

Getdul is correct, its best to get this insurance when they are young and not after they have medical issues. Unfortunately, I have never been that smart to get it, but I'm lucky, most of my dogs have lived to 15 or 16.
