How to Recognize and Treat Dog Poisoning

Recognizing and Treating Dog Poisoning

Recognizing and treating dog poisoning is crucial for your pet's health and safety. Signs of poisoning in dogs can vary depending on the toxin ingested but may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, drooling, seizures, and difficulty breathing. If you suspect your dog has been poisoned, contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital immediately. Do not try to induce vomiting unless instructed by a professional, as it can be harmful depending on the toxin. Provide your vet with information on what your dog may have ingested, when it happened, and your dog's symptoms. Treatment will depend on the toxin and may include inducing vomiting, activated charcoal to absorb the toxin, intravenous fluids, or specific antidotes. Prevention is key; keep all potentially toxic substances out of reach of your dog, including medications, household cleaners, plants, and certain foods.
