I know personally, I'm always terrified that one day I will drop something on the floor, and my rabbit will eat it (she eats almost anything), and I take lots of precautions to prevent it. Sometimes it gets OTT and I end up scouring the floor in case I've dropped a kratom capsule or a PK.

There was one time, I was making kratom caps and one flipped out of my hand and landed in my bunny's hay. It was only a tiny pinch of kratom, and I know it's non-toxic, but I spent a *long, long* time searching for it. Imagine trying to find something transcluent and the size of a tiny pill, in a huge, huge pile of hay. Even my partner helped me look, it was so ridiculous. I never did find it... Then weeks later, I found it in my bag of empty capsules. I had to laugh...if I didn't, I'd have cried.

So I just wondered, what precautions do you take with keeping your pets safe from any med related accidents? It's always good to share experience and tips I think.

 
Be very very careful!! Of course I'm extra paranoid because when one of my two doggies was a puppy he ate one of my migraine pills. I found him chewing on the wrapper. Didn't know how much he got, it comes wrapped one each in foil and is very strong working on the vascular system/affecting BP/heart etc. Being a nurse  I knew it could not be good for this tiny puppy to eat this. I keep a couple on my bedside table, and often they fell off on to floor.  We all keep doors closed for the reason of dogs not coming in our rooms (mine and adult daughters who have migraines too) and getting into our stuff and a possible pill.  Well once I saw him I flipped out and yelled for my daughters knowing the med works fast. we rushed him to the all hours animal hospital and they had to induce vomiting and then keep him all night to monitor per animal poison control. They said they had to give him a dose of a anxiety med during night due to symptoms related to the medication. We were so relieved he was ok. the hospital bill was          about $1,000!!  Maybe even a little more with the deposit. With the Emerg services, IV's medications, overnight stay, poison control call was $85 alone, meds etc. Of course I didn't think twice about paying it, but we are VERY careful with any medications even more so after that! Have one other place in kitchen for vitamins/advil etc, and always check floor. I also try and open things over the sink. If I even think I drop something I have my mag flashlight and I'm on the floor until Im convinced it's not there! 

 
Oh my god...that's a horrible story of how things can go wrong...I hope nothing like that ever, ever happens with my rabbit... but I am getting more and more careful now. I basically don't do anything in the room she's in now, but I often worry about stuff on my hands, clothes etc.

And with you looking on the floor with a torch until you're convinced it's not there. I'm so glad to meet a kindred spirit! I've done that so, so many flippin' times! Not once I've found something. But I guess I'm being cautious. But I feel like a right idiot sometimes. Once my other half came in the room and saw me searching the floor with a torch. Bit of an odd scene, that was...

 
I have a friend who's puppy died from eating a caffeine pill due to a seizure caused from it. I had my older dog eat my weed cookies but it's only the puppies that seem to be something you really need to worry about when it comes to dropping pills by accident. 

 
I only take my candy in my bathroom with the door shut.  I do all of my handling over the sink with the drain closed.  I always keep my kitty's out since we all know our fur babies are so important to us.  Anyway that's just my trick!

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
