Some
of the poisoned dogs may be found with no apparent reason.
Some poisons (Warfarin) may cause hematuria
(blood in urine) or melena (blood in stools).
Even you may notice epistaxis (bleeding from
nose).
Once
you confirmed that your dog-swallowed kerosene, gasoline,
alkali or acid, inducing vomiting is not indicated. Provide
milk for poison dilution and rush him to the nearest vet.
Check
the label of the container or bottle of the poison to find
out if there is any recommended antidote is available. Even
you can try to induce vomiting by providing him a mixture
of hydrogen peroxide and water.
Mix
3% hydrogen peroxide with equal parts of
water. Administer the mixture carefully from the side of his
mouth instead of pouring the liquid straightaway into the
mouth. This forceful introduction of medicine may cause aspiratory
pneumonia.
Pull
the dog's lip away from the side of his mouth, deposit the
required liquid in the pocket formed in-between the cheek
and the teeth. The recommended dosage is a tablespoonful of
the mixture per ten pounds of your dog's weight.
Once
his stomach is settled down, a teaspoonful of Epsom
salts in plain water will evacuate the contents from
the intestine quickly. In case of the dog rat poison
symptoms, hydrogen peroxide is the best antidote.
The hydrogen peroxide will get converted into hydrogen and
oxygen, once it reaches the stomach.
After
this emergency treatment, the stomach and bowels of your dog
have been evacuated; get an immediate appointment from a vet
to relieve the dog poison symptoms completely. |
