As with humans, animals all react differently with hallucinogens. Moreover, especially if ingested by accident, the experience can be very traumatic for the animals, sometimes changing them for life.. I recommend inducing vomiting to avoid mental distress and poisoning, especially if its a large dose or with small dogs--with either seizures and coma have been reported. Either way, care for the dog the way you would for a friend that is on a bad trip, few loud noises, lots of love and affection, soothing words, warmth, water.
Two puppies, each two months old and less than 10 lbs, or 4 kilos, together ate 2 grams of mushrooms that they found in a pack of seeds that was unfortunately in the puppies' reach. After research, I induced vomiting by putting a little less than one teaspoon (4.5 ml) of table salt on the back of each of their tongues. (the amount is dictated by their size and if you sweeze on the back of their jaw, they have to open their mouths). I did this one at a time with the pups initially separated. The first pup took about 2 or 3 minutes to throw up. She was scared and shivering afterwards and I petted her and told her it was ok the whole time. The second pup I did the same to, without separating the pups, and the second pup took less time to puke. I let them both puke until they were done and the mushrooms were definitely there.
Afterwards, I brought them inside. The smaller pup was trembling and didn't want to be outside of human contact. The bigger pup was full of energy and wanted to bite at my hand a lot. I let her do so while the smaller pup was curled on my lap. I stroked them and said everything's going to be fine, with no loud music on and the heater on (it's the middle of winter.) About an hour after this happened, the bigger pup was calmer but wanted to be caressed and held as well. They were both scared and appeared to not know what was happening to them. I sat on the floor and let them both curl in my lap and they slept for a little bit. I gave them water about 2 hours after the initial vomiting and they really appreciated it. About 3 hours after the incident, they were back to almost normal but still wanted to be close by me. They got fed and ate ravenously. It is now 4 hours after the incident and they are both sleeping on my lap. Ill keep them close by and monitored for the next day or so, and hope that they will be ok.
