Please don’t treat your pet with medications commonly found in your home. What is safe for us could be deadly for them. When in doubt ask your vet. If your vet office is closed, you can try your local pharmacist, some keep veterinary drug reference materials on file. In the meantime when pets or children are around, keep your medications off the counter and out of sight!
