Eating an animal at home is one of the key points for a comfortable and healthy stay in the home. But, unfortunately, no one is immune from all troubles, because your pet can even get poisoned on the street. It's no secret that the fight against stray animals by the method of pouring poison today has become a real disaster for dog owners, because many of them as vacuum cleaners absorb everything along the way. Therefore it is important to be able to provide first aid in poisoning a dog on the street and at home.
What to do when a dog is poisoned?
First of all, with the onset of warming, it is desirable to immediately purchase some drugs. They will become the key to poisoning a dog with a tool in first aid.
- Vitamin B6, it is also pyridoxine. One of the cheapest means, but it perfectly helps with poisoning with an antituberculous drug. You can determine this type of poisoning by the staggering gait of the dog, it begins to fall, saliva dries abundantly from the mouth. Sometimes foam formation and vomiting begins.
- Vitamin K1 will become your savior if the animal is poisoned by rat poison. Vomiting with blood, pet groans and noticeable fever, and diarrhea with blood are all signs of rat poison.
- It is always worthwhile to keep the atropine in your personal first aid kit, because it is effective for treating poisoning, but it can only be administered by a veterinarian at home or in the hospital.
- Further we purchase laxative salts for an animal, antispasmodics, preparations for a call of a vomiting.
How to help the dog with poisoning?
So, suppose you did not look, and the dog began to chew something suspicious right on the street. In such a situation it is important to react in time. The first thing to do when poisoning a dog is to check for the remains of the eaten and remove them from the mouth. Further your actions are as follows:
- first we cause vomiting and we remove toxins naturally (here drugs are used for vomiting, some people decide to induce vomiting mechanically), sometimes it is enough to drink plenty of boiled water;
- right after that we begin to give the dog adsorbents (here all human preparations like activated carbon, enterosgel) will be good too;
- the next step in the treatment of poisoning in a dog at home is a laxative salt, then you can several more times give an adsorbent.
This is the minimum effort to provide first aid in poisoning a dog that you can do. But then we immediately take the pet to the clinic, and already there the veterinarian will appoint the subsequent treatment.
