Hello! Welcome to Just Answer! Please give me a moment while I check your conversation with Pearl. May I have your name, please?

Hi! I'm glad to assist you with this question. I recognize how crucial it is to get an answer, so I will continue working on this for you until it's resolved.


First, could you let me know if Dobby consumed any food within 3 hours before swallowing the Advion?

Customer
he ate around 9
Customer
No, I reached out to you as soon as I removed it.
He is behaving normally so far.
I forgot that the active ingredient is Indoxacarb.

Have you noticed any signs of nausea, like excessive lip licking, drooling, or repeated swallowing?

Customer
No, he is behaving normally.

This situation is manageable concerning any serious toxicity issues. The quantity ingested is below the toxic threshold and will not lead to internal organ damage. Thus, this is not an emergency, and immediate treatment is not necessary. It is advisable to keep an eye out for symptoms of vomiting and nausea, such as excessive lip licking, drooling, or repeated swallowing attempts. Nausea typically resolves on its own and usually does not need treatment; however, an over-the-counter antacid like 5 mg of famotidine (e.g., Pepcid AC) or omeprazole (e.g., Prilosec) can be administered if required. This dosage corresponds to half a tablet of famotidine or a quarter of an omeprazole tablet. If no symptoms are observed after 6 to 8 hours, further monitoring is not needed.

Customer
Thank you!

You are very welcome. I hope my response has been satisfactory. If you have any follow-up questions, please reply here, and I will be glad to assist you.

Customer

Thanks again. I do notice some lip licking (he has been just a little). Should I take him in, or will the Pepcid be okay?

Pepcid AC or omeprazole may assist with mild nausea. Consulting a veterinarian could also be beneficial if necessary.


This is Dr. Perry again with Just Answer. I wanted to follow up and see if you have any additional questions. There's no need to respond if you don't have any inquiries. However, if you do, please reply here, and I will do my best to assist you.

Customer
Thanks for following up. All is good now.

It's wonderful to hear! I'm pleased to know that Dobby is doing well.

Dog Ingests Advion Cockroach Gel: Toxicity and Emergency Care

Accidental ingestion of household toxins and bait poisons is common in dogs.
Advion Cockroach gel contains indoxacarb, toxic to dogs if ingested. Symptoms include vomiting, drooling, lethargy, and seizures. Immediate veterinary attention is critical. Treatment involves decontamination, activated charcoal administration, and supportive care such as IV fluids. Monitor for neurological signs and provide symptomatic treatment. Prevent access to insect baits by storing them securely and supervising pets indoors.
