Pet Poisoning Treatment in Fulshear, TX, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Fulshear is a vet in Fulshear, TX, that treats dogs and cats who ate or licked something toxic, often the same day. If you think your pet swallowed a pill, a plant, chocolate or a chemical, act now. Many poisonings are easier to treat in the first hour or two.

Call (281) 214-6363 before you leave home, so the team is ready when you walk in.

Should I come here or go to a 24-hour hospital?

Go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital, such as VEG Katy on West Grand Parkway South, if your pet:

• Is having a seizure, is shaking hard or cannot stand.

• Is having trouble breathing or has pale or gray gums.

• Has collapsed or will not fully wake up.

• Swallowed rat or mouse bait, antifreeze, or a large amount of a human medicine.

For other cases, Petfolk Fulshear can usually see you the same day. That includes a dog who ate part of a chocolate bar, a cat who chewed a houseplant, or a pet who got into the trash and still acts normal. Walk-ins are welcome.

What should I do right after my pet eats something?

1. Move your pet away from the item and take what is left.

2. Do not make your pet vomit unless a vet tells you to. Some products cause more harm on the way back up.

3. Take a photo of the label, the pill bottle or the plant, and guess how much is missing.

4. Call Petfolk Fulshear at (281) 214-6363. You can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or the Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661.

Bring the package with you. The exact product name and strength help the vet decide what to do next.

Common poisons in Fulshear homes and yards

Fulshear grew 21% from 2024 to 2025, the second-fastest rate of any U.S. city in Census Bureau data (Spectrum News, June 2026). New homes mean open moving boxes, and pills, cleaners and pest baits often end up within reach of a curious puppy.

Outside, check your landscaping. If you have a sago palm in the yard or a pot on the patio, keep pets away from it. The ASPCA lists sago palm as toxic to dogs and cats, and eating it can lead to liver failure.

Other things pet parents often call about:

• Grapes, raisins and chocolate.

• Sugar-free gum or candy with xylitol.

• Ibuprofen, naproxen and other human pain pills.

• Lawn, garden and pool products.

Pets who get into things tend to be young. At our Houston-area clinics, the typical pet seen for a suspected poisoning is about 3 years old, and about 1 in 5 of these visits are for puppies or kittens under a year old (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). Across Petfolk, dogs account for about 3 in 4 suspected poisoning visits in that same period.

How the vet treats a swallowed toxin

The plan depends on what your pet ate and how long ago. The vet may:

• Make your pet vomit, if it is safe and early enough.

• Run blood work to check the liver and kidneys.

• Take x-rays to look for a swallowed object, like a sock or a toy.

• Give anti-nausea medicine and fluids.

At our Houston-area clinics, about 1 in 3 suspected poisoning visits include Cerenia, an anti-nausea medicine, and nearly 1 in 4 include fluid therapy (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). The team uses Fear Free handling, so a scared or sick pet is held gently and given breaks. If your pet needs to be watched through the night, the vet will help you move to a 24-hour hospital.
