Hi, my name is***** a licensed Veterinarian with over 37 years of clinical experience and I'm here to help you and Ruby tonight. I hope you haven't been waiting long. Was the cough drop a sugar free cough drop? Is xylitol listed as one of the ingredients?
Customer
Sugar free yes
Xylitol No
Xylitol No
That is very good news! What is the artificial sugar used in the drops?
Customer
Corn starch and eucalytus oil
Ok, good, they are nontoxic and Ruby should be just fine
Customer
Ok Thank you
My pleasure, always nice to give customers good news! Thank you for reaching out tonight, take good care :)
Customer
Is there a ything I need to do
Customer
Anything else i need to do
I recommend giving her a Tums or Pepto Bismol as the menthol can give them a stomach ache and cause vomiting. Do you have Tums or Pepto?
Customer
No
Ok, you could mix up @ 1 teaspoon of baking soda and add a small amount of water then give the mixture orally using a small syringe or an eye dropper, that would soothe Ruby's stomach as well
Customer
Ok Thanks
You bet, anytime
