Please contact animal poison contrtol ASAP. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control ‭(888) 426-4435‬ There is a fee for this service but they can help determine if Sammy needs to be seen and will work with his vet to develop a treatment plan. Or take him immediately to a vet. Be sure to have the medication package with you so the amount he infested can be determined
