I shouldn't tell this on myself, but I hope it makes you laugh (or you may just decide to ignore any future posts by the "wise" one. I sometimes think I'm pumpheaded now...without even being a surgical candidate.

I took my dog's medicine this morning. Yes, I did. Beau is an approximately 10 pound Bichon Frise. He has a liver condition (can't remember what it is because I don't have my memory with me - who is Cindy, my wife). He's already been through surgery and was two years old before he could be "fixed." His liver enzymes had to get to a certain level before they'd neuter him. Anyway, in this divergence of telling on myself, after he was neuter he actually filled out and become a much happier and "calmer" male dog.

So, now he takes S-Adenosyl-100 (SAMe) every morning. So this morning, I took my Allegra 180 as I do every morning. Then I went to the kitchen to fill up my bottle with water that I drink from every day. I prime my pump with a big drink of water to get myself "into" water drinking for the day. Well, I had gotten Beau's pill out to give to him after he came back inside from doing his business. Well, just standing there with his pill on the table beside my bottle of water, I was drinking water and just sort of naturally picked up his pill and swallowed it. "Aaaggghh!" was my next utterance.

My other, and worse, confession. Several months ago, I was going through the same routine and instead of swallowing my Allegra 180, I stuck it in my pocket. When the dogs came inside, I took Beau to give him his SAMe and instead I gave him my Allegra. I freaked out! This was before Beau had "filled out" and he weighed closer to six pounds. I called the vet ASAP and after they laughed at me, they told me to get him there ASAP because at his size he could have real problems. They gave him something to make him throw up, then had to try something else when he didn't respond as they wished. Eventually he ended up spewing all over their floor. Poor dog wasn't feeling to great and was still rather groggy that day. He probably didn't sneeze though.

So, this morning my wife told me that I needed to call the vet and go to his office so I could throw up on his floor. I'm glad I don't always get what I deserve.

Just be glad it wasn't some sort of female hormone replacement pill. You might be growing breasts right now. Then again, that might not be too bad. You could stay home and.... oh never mind... I'll get my head out of the gutter.
 
Wise,

Maybe we need to change your name ;) Seriously, I think we have all done similar things over the years. I remember the morning I was rushing to get to the airport and took my lasix instead of my inderal. What a nightmare that airplane trip was. I think the other passengers and crew thought I was either smoking or doing drugs in the bathroom during the flight. :eek:

HOWEVER - I have never taken my cat's medications. You may have the first of that one. Hope it won't make you spew all over. :eek:
 
You have a "WISE" and very funny wife. What a funny story!!! Especially because I can see myself doing the exact same thing!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Gina: Maybe I should change my name to Beau. At least it is still masculine, unlike John's scenario!!

John: I think you're a great guy, but I may not come to you for advice much or I may be the first guy arrested for sexually harrassing himself. Now I don't feel so bad for the taking the pill I did. Actually, with it being SAMe, my mood may be a little better and my joints may be happier.

Gina and John: You two are funny. I love your posts!!

Laughter does good like a medicine (just depends on which medicine).
 
It's too bad it wasn't flea medication. That would have been funny too....

Hey, do you find yourself wanted to lick your ass and scratch yourself with your foot?

Haha.....

Hey, is that Ross in there...what have you done with John?

Actually, my foot has been twitching...my tongue is fine, thank you (and thank God).

Also, I'm not alone in this. My wife's brother once took his guide dog's ear mite medicine. After he realized what he had done (it burned like you know what) he called his doctor and asked if it would hurt someone if they sprayed that medicine in their nose. The doctor said "What would you want to do that for?"

I'm going to send your experience on to a vet friend. He'll get a kick out of it.

I'm sure he's had clients come in to barf on his floor after they've taken their animal's Rx -- he's in Alexandria, La.
 
Oh dear , this made my day..lol.. (Ive come real close to doing this)..lol
 
Jeff did something similar

Jeff did something similar

Jeff had a really bad case of strep throat a year and a half ago and ended up in the ER. They gave him a couple of prescription and we went and got them filled. He was in so much pain that I when I got out in the car after filling them I just started open the bottles and giving a pill out of each one. It wasn't until he swollowed the third on that he realized he only had two presciptions. It was then that he realized the pharmacy had accidentally gave us someone elses meds along with his. As it turns out it was a female hormone replacement pill. He was freaking out at first cause he wasn't sure what he had taken. Good thing it wasn't anything that could have harmed him. He joked about it later saying he was getting in touch with his feminine side :D

Wise,
I'm glad it was nothing serious in the pill you took.
Now my question is are you learning to sit, stay and speak?? :D
Rich
 
Is your nose cold and wet now??? :D :D :D

It was Beau's payback for what you put him through :D . Although it sounds like Beau got the worst end of the deal :eek: . Hope you are both doing better now :) . If you do go to the Vet to throw up, make sure you take Beau so he can watch :eek: :D .

May God Bless,

Danny

I hope he gets as much out of it as I have, meaning the responses here have rather entertained me.

Yes, I'm making myself sit (in the corner), stay (out of trouble), and speak (to my wife before I take or administer medicine).

As smart as animals can be, Beau may actually feel vindicated for his misfortune.

You are right about that...my wife gets the title "Wise" and I only get the name.

John (Perrybucsdad) may have some tips for Jeff. Actually, I would have freaked out about that. Was he more soft spoken for a bit afterward?
