someone poisoned my dog

I think I accidentally poisoned my dog please help?

I gave him ham that contained cherry powder, before knowing that cherries kill dogs. He is only 6 pounds and he ate a huge slice of ham cause that's what I had his pills in. Please help all the vets in the area are closed

Medications do not need to be placed or wrapped in anything. Pills were given years ago very simply even before pill pockets were invented. 

Your veterinarian will tell you if your dog's medication(s) can be given with food or if it must be given on an empty stomach. 

How To Give Your Dog A Pill Or Capsule In 5 Easy Steps 

Step 1 

Place the pill between the thumb and the index finger of one hand. Firmly grasp the upper jaw with thethumb and index finger of the other hand. 

Step 2 

Gently fold the upper lip over the teeth as you open the mouth. This will reduce the chance of being bitten. 

Step 3 

Rotate your wrist to tilt the head upwards. Use your middle finger to slowly open the lower jaw. 

Step 4 

Keep your middle finger over the small incisor teeth and deposit the pill as far back on the tongue as possible. Immediately close the mouth. Keeping your hand over the mouth, put the head down to facilitate swallowing. 

Step 5 

Stroke the throat or blow on the nose to encourage swallowing. Hold mouth closed and continue to stroke until swallowed. 

After you release his jaws, your dog may still spit out the pill if he hasn't swallowed. If this happens, it's probably because the pill was released too far forward on the tongue, which makes it easy for the dog to hold it in his mouth until he's free. Repeat the steps and try to get the pill as far back on the tongue as possible. 

In the future feed your dog properly* and nothing else, then there will be no need for any questions. 

Do not give too many cherries to your dog, limit your dog to one (small dogs) to two (larger dogs) or risk your dog having runny poo. 

Cherries are ok for dogs to eat as long as you remove the pits before giving them to your dog. 

Only feed your dog fresh cherries, never give cherries that have been soaked in sugar, or are pickled or OR HAVE ANY OTHER SEASONING ON THEM.
