three fourths of the way full she ate it about 30 minutes ago she did not eat the tube itself, and there is still some small amount of ointment in the tube

Hello,

Since the Clobetasol is a Steroid I feel it may be wise to induce vomiting. The Steroids if ingested can cause a problem within the blood stream. To induce vomiting we will need to give 1 teapoonspoon full of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight every 10 mins. for 3 doses or until the dog vomits. Please try and get this to the back of the tongue to be the most efeective. This will help to bing up the stomach contents. The dog will still need to follow up with your Vet tomorrow. I will stand by. Joan
