Thanks for all the advice.
will take suggestions of benedryl on hand and be prepared to do the flush with water. also to really watch them at night.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
BTW: ALOHA VET was the one the neighbor called. They took Visa and charged $30 to take the call. But, they told neighbor they would NOT come into the office. Aloha vet advised that the dog might die, and even with this warning they would not come into the office to help treat the dog. they could have charged the Visa first for after hours, but if the vet actually said the dog may die and there is apparently an antidote the vets have, Aloha vet would not help other than advice to keep dog calm and to describe dog may have convulsions and eventually heart attack. Which is what happened to dog after 6 hours of seizures and no vet help. The Aloha vet said to bring the dog in the morning if she was still alive. Great.
Even if all the vet could do is euthanize, it would have been better than putting my neighbor and the poor dog through hours of suffering.
