Plain-English summary
An 11-year-old spayed female Dalmatian was brought to the vet after showing signs of severe depression, which raised concerns about acetaminophen poisoning. The dog also had facial swelling and dark urine. The veterinarian treated her with intravenous fluids and medications like N-acetylcysteine, which helped reverse the effects of the toxin. Fortunately, there were no signs of liver damage, and the dog responded well to the treatment.

Abstract
An 11-year-old, spayed female Dalmatian was presented with suspected acetaminophen toxicosis. The dog was severely depressed. Methemoglobinemia, facial edema, and hemoglobinuria responded to treatment with intravenous fluids, N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and sodium bicarbonate. There was no clinical evidence of hepatic damage typical of acetaminophen toxicity in the dog.
