Speak to your vet *NOW* about acetylcysteine- *(140mg/kg/hr for 7 hours) it
reduces the toxicity of acetaminophen.
Have your vet check for methemoglobinemia.

Thankyou Phil - I told my vet about this whe he examined her - he was
very arrogant and said if she had injested Tylenol then she would be
'dead by now' as the syptoms i were describing had happened the
evening before. We are 50 miles from another vet and i really don't
want to have Tiddles have the stress of a long drive -she hates car
journeys.
