This is an emergency. You will need to take your dog to a veterinarian immediately. Your dog will need to be assessed and then either receive an antidote (if the poison is known) or supportive care such as fluids and activated charcoal and other medications as necessary.Try calling all the vet clinics in your area, they should tell you who is on call for emergencies
