A man in Iowa crashed his car because he was intoxicated. When the police arrived on the scene to do a blood test, they found a bottle of pills prescribed for the mans dog in the car. It turns out that the man had mistakenly taken the pills prescribed for his dog. The pill, Phenobarbital is used to control seizures in people and pets. It wasn’t reported if he knowingly took the meds or not.
The Poison Control Center says people taking their pet’s medicine by mistake is not uncommon. Wear your glasses before you open up the pill bottle!
