Sometimes dogs will eat something by mistake, which leads to poisoning. So what are the symptoms of dogs being poisoned? What should I do after a dog is poisoned? Let’s share some popular science with you today.
1. The symptoms of food poisoning in dogs:
Food poisoning in dogs will cause foaming in mouth, trembling and twitching, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breathing, and fear of cold.
2. What should I do after a dog is poisoned?
1. The fastest and most effective method is to induce vomiting. You can first use soapy water to induce vomiting at home. Inducing vomiting can reduce the absorption of multiple toxins in the gastric mucosa and reduce the symptoms of poisoning in dogs. Then you can take the dog to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Or the excretion method can also achieve the effect of detoxification. If the dog's condition allows, this method can be adopted.
2. Gastric lavage: Use gastric lavage when it cannot induce vomiting or if it cannot be effective after it induces vomiting. The poison is effective in using it within 2 hours. It can excrete gastric contents, regulate pH, relieve irritation on the stomach wall and spasms of the pyloric sphincter, and restore the peristalsis and secretory function of the stomach.
3. Laxatives: Another method to promote the excretion of poisons in the gastrointestinal area. Be careful not to use vegetable oil, because poisons are soluble in it and prolong the time of poisoning.
In the most urgent situation, the owner can choose to induce vomiting and then immediately send it to the hospital to find a professional pet doctor for treatment!
After the pet dog's food poisoning, the symptoms are generally: the dog's mental state is very poor, the visual mucosa is pale, the gums are pale, the conjunctiva is pale, and the nose mirror is dry. When blood tests are performed, the blood is thin and the blood clotting time is prolonged. It also causes vomiting, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal discomfort. At the same time, the body temperature of dogs with food poisoning may be at 38.3 degrees Celsius, and their heartbeat increases, asthma, and weakness. Note that the causes of food poisoning in dogs are different, and the symptoms also exist. However, if the dog has some symptoms similar to the above, and the first appearance is mostly shortly after the diet, then the owner should pay attention that the dog may be food poisoning and needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Never delay.
Do not be careless when dealing with food poisoning in dogs. First, you must check the dog's physical condition in detail, and then you can formulate a reasonable treatment plan and choose appropriate drugs to treat it. Note that no matter what medicine is used, the owner cannot make a decision without authorization. Be sure to ask the veterinarian’s advice first, and you can only treat food poisoning dogs after being allowed.
