If your pet is experiencing significant toxicity due to thyroid hormones, Fluid therapy can be conducted on it to aid in the administration of medications for nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea if needed. Additional drugs could include those meant to regulate signs like a rapid heart rate and uncontrollable tremors, and those which will help to eliminate the excess thyroid hormone from the system.
If veterinary care is sought within the two hour time frame, inducing vomiting may be initiated along with other gastric decontamination measures such as activated charcoal administration. Oxygen therapy will be provided if beneficial; at the same time the fluid therapy may be slowly continued and the heart activity will be closely watched.
