Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 My vet had never seen it before. I'm not even sure he had ever heard of clonidine, period. He had to phone a special animal poison information line. I never knew they had such a thing, but I guess they do. Animal poisonings from human prescription pills are apparently a very common thing.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Yes, animal poisoning from human prescription drugs are more common that I realized. It came up in discussion at work, and I was amazed how everyone there said that they knew of a pet, or even their own pet will get into pills and gobble them down. An interesting note however, is that an awful lot of pet medications are really human meds also to treat the same conditions. Kris had an old cat who had to take thyroid meds for hyperthroidism, I've had a friend whose pet was prescribed Prozac, etc. Sophia > My vet had never seen it before.
