Animal Poison Control Information:
If you think or suspect your animal has eaten/ingested or been exposed to something they should not have and/or are showing signs of illness, such as vomiting, pale gums, seizure, unconsciousness or otherwise any abnormal behavior, do not hesitate... Take your animal to your local vet, if it is after normal business hours, most Vets have on their answering machines information leading you to an after hour or weekend on-call vet service that will be able to help you and your animal.
Remember! Vermont State Law requires all animal owners are to provide necessary medical attention to their animals. Failure to do so, could constitute a crime of abuse or neglect under Vermont Animal Cruelty Laws.
