My dog ate expired medication and is staggering and lethargic. Help!

Question

KRONOS is whimpering, staggering and limping since this morning after chewing some expired anti- drug that a malicious person threw over the fence into the compound between yesterday night to this morning. He is lethargic but has eaten this morning and I also gave him milk. Please see attached photos. I need your help.

Loperamide can be toxic to dogs if a large dose was ingested. Also, the fact the the medication was out of date pose a risk of further intoxication. The typical symptoms of lopermaide overdose in dogs include weakness, lethargy, problems with balance, prostration. If the symptoms are severe, you need to take Kronos to your local vets to be treated. There are medications that can help and partially reverse the effect of loperamide. The prognosis are fairly favourable, but affected dogs do need to be treated as soon as possible.
