If your dog gobbled up the poison, then the treatment will begin by making him vomit. Based on what your dog ate, your vet will tell you whether to induce vomiting or not. For instance, vets usually prescribe vomiting when your dog swallows a handful of medication, like aspirin or blood pressure pills.
What can I give my dog if I think he has been poisoned?
A professional may ask you to induce vomiting at home with hydrogen peroxide. For this reason, you should try to always keep an unopened, non-expired bottle of hydrogen peroxide in your home (old hydrogen peroxide will not usually work). You will give the hydrogen peroxide to your dog by mouth.
Can a dog recover from being poisoned?
Typically, mild cases of poisoning have high recovery rates. In severe poisoning cases or cases where treatment was delayed the chance of recovery is extremely low. When pets do recover from severe poisoning there can also be long-term damage to their overall health.
Does milk help with dog poisoning?
No. Milk is unlikely to be helpful in the vast majority of poisoning situations and can sometimes make things worse. Most pets are lactose intolerant and giving milk can cause or worsen stomach upset symptoms.
