***All toxins ingested need to be treated by a veterinarian.  Time is Key.  The earlier they can seek help, the better their chances of survival.  Call 405-364-2683 if you have any questions about whether or not an animal needs to come in to COVE.  Please have the medicine/product name, amount ingested, and weight of your animal on hand. 

***If your pet ingests an illegal substance, COVE will not disclose that information to anyone.  They are your pet's medical records and are confidential.
