We're on the phone with poison control now though, we went ahead and paid the 50 dollars.

Glad you called them, acetaminophen is tylenol and not good for dogs.

For what it's worth, I suggest you find a new vet, one that will tell you if your dog needs to be seen after something like this. They should have given you advice not just referred you to poison control. IMO.

What did poison control tell you to do?

New Corgi Owner, I hope everything turned out okay.

For all - My husband had a Belgian Malinois at one point and he was into EVERYTHING (the dog and the husband, but I'm just talking about the dog here). Twice I had to call poison control for him - I just called the human's poison control and they were very helpful and seemed to have animal information at hand (and there was no charge!). On another occasion my Westie ate some joint compound and I had good luck calling the 800 number on the packaging.
