Dog ate flea/tick meds, had symptoms, but is now fine. Vet needed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Bolognese | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

I only realized now that my dog may have ingested vectra 3D. Last night she had tremors, vomiting, rapid heart rate. However, she is back to normal today. Should I still take her in to see the vet?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! i am so glad that Piccola is back to normal today. I recommend calling the 1-800 umber on the packaging. They have Veterinarians on staff that can answer all your questions for free. They can tell you if she even needs to be seen! My hope is that there is no long term effects. I hope this helps and I wish you and Piccola the best!
