Dog ate wife's birth control pills.

[timbutt2]

Quick question... My dog ate my wife's birth control pills--🙁 not all of them, but the blue ones--week 2...I swear to God. She also ate some Co-enzyme Q 10, Omega 3, vitamin C and multi-vitamins.

If I bring in the chewed up birth control pack will the pharmacist give me a new one--or does my wife have to go back to the doctor?

I think your wife might need to call the doctor and ask the doctor to phone in a prescription. I doubt if insurance would pay for it.

That depends a lot on the particular plan. It's worth asking anyway. Besides unless your is on some fancy new birth control, it wouldn't cost very much if you just had to pay for it.

All I know is no getting any for you tonight! You might be better off scoring with the dog!

Is your dog ok?

My pharmacy would not just give you a new pack as a replacement, but I suppose every pharmacist does things a little different.

What will probably happen is this: as long as your wife still has refills, the pharmacy will just refill the script like normal. Then, the insurance will reject it as being "refill too soon"--they'll wonder why they should pay for it again when she should still have like 3 weeks of medication left. And as long as you've explained to the pharmacy staff why you need this early refill, the pharmacy staff will call the insurance company and ask for a "lost or mishandled medication" override. If your insurance allows for such an override, then you will pay your regular co-pay (it will not be free, you just won't be paying the cash price). If your insurance plan does not allow such an override, then you will have to pay the cash price. This is probably ~$25-$30 for a generic birth control, $50-$60 if it's something new and fancy like Yasmin or Yaz.

In the future, keep the OCPs away from the dog. Oh, and be sure to watch for blood clots. 🙂

well at least now if the wife isn't giving you any action, you can get a lil doggystyle action and not have to worry about messed up looking babies.

win win situation bro.

Not to ruin the fun here, but you really should call the NAPCC, depending on how much and what was in the things your dog ate, and how big your dog is, there are potential toxic effects. I'd tell you to also call your DVM/VMD, but so will the poison centre 🙂

IME the poison center was more worried about my dog than the emergency vet!

my 25lb corgi ate a pack of Orbit gum - contains xylitol which induces insulin release in dogs and could potentially cause a lethal hypoglycemia. Yay for good dogs who will drink hydrogen peroxide from a spoon and then immediately barf in the bathtub.
