Symptoms of Aripiprazole Toxicity in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog eats aripiprazole:

  • Lethargy
  • Vomiting
  • Hypothermia
  • Heart rate & blood pressures changes
  • Seizures

If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, call the vet immediately. This is a medical emergency.

When you talk to the vet, let them know the name of the medication and the dosage of the pills. Then let them know about how many of the pills your dog has eaten. Next, let the vet know about what time this happened.

Be sure to take the medication packaging with you to the vet’s. The information on the package can be helpful for the vet.

Don’t wait to see if your dog’s symptoms improve or worsen. He needs medical treatment now. Waiting could cost him his life.

At the vet’s, they will work to decontaminate your dog through the use of activated charcoal or other methods. Your fur baby will probably need an IV for fluids and to administer medications. The vet will treat your dog’s symptoms as they arise.

The good news is that dogs who receive prompt medical care have the best chance of making a full recovery. The key is to get your dog for treatment ASAP. His life could depend on it.

As always, prevention is the best medicine. If your dog is curious about the medications you take, be sure to keep these out of his reach. You will both be happier for it!
