I think Popsicle almost died today...
« on: March 14, 2014, 11:43:50 AM »

I let my little guy out to play today, and after a while I noticed he has what looked like a food pellet in his hand and was chewing it. But the color looked wrong so I took it from his paw.

... It was a 20mg Prozac capsule. EEK!!! ... I'm pretty sure that's a fatal dosage for a Chin, right? Lucky I got it away uneaten... must have fallen on the floor while sorting pills... :(

I worry about that all the time.  I take a huge cocktail of high dose meds with bad side effects.  When your med says death as a possible side effect it makes you wonder if it's worth it.  ::)  I try to keep the area between the bed and night stand where I take my pills swept clean but sometimes a bit of junk clutters it and then when I eventually clean I find some lost pills.  One day the bottle and cap must have gotten separated and I only threw the empty bottle away.  Katsu came out of nowhere, grabbed the cap on the run, and was long gone.  I chased him all over trying to get that cap back and worrying some dust from the pill tablets got on the lid or something.
