Dogs usually die within a few days of being poisoned

The date of death of the dog after poisoning cannot be determined, because whether the dog dies after poisoning and the speed of death are closely related to factors such as the type of poison, the ingested dose, the strength of toxicity, and the strength of the body's resistance. If you ingest a large amount of strong poison, such as rodenticide, etc., you will die within 2 to 4 hours at the fastest. If the ingestion is small and the treatment is timely, it may not cause the dog's death.

Emergency measures for dog poisoning:

1. Emetic and antiemetic:

Emetic is effective in a short period of time when food is eating people, and emetic drugs can be used. You can take 50-100 ml of 1% zinc sulfate solution. If necessary, use dehydrated morphine (apomorphine) 3 mg subcutaneously. When the spoiled food has been eaten for more than 4 hours and most of the food has entered the duodenum, emetic drugs cannot be used. Emetic drugs should be used with caution in pregnant dogs. After vomiting, antiemetic drugs can be used, such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride, intramuscular injection of 0.5-2 mg/kg body weight, oral dose of 2-5 mg/kg body weight, twice a day. Diphenhydramine 1~1.5 mg/kg body weight, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.

2. Diarrhea and antidiarrheal:

Diarrhea is another way to promote the discharge of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract. After eating poisonous food for more than 2-3 hours, the mental state is still good, and laxatives can be taken to promote the expulsion of poisonous food as soon as possible. Be careful not to use vegetable oil when taking laxative measures. When the intestinal content is basically exhausted, antidiarrheal drugs can be used, such as atropine sulfate, 0.3-1 mg per dog, kg body weight, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.

3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory:

In order to prevent the bacteria in the intestine from continuing to grow and reproduce and produce toxins, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as gentamicin, chloramphenicol or tetracycline should be taken orally.

4. Anti-shock:

In order to prevent shock in dogs, corticosteroids can be applied, such as intramuscular injection of dexamethasone, 0.25-1 mg each time, or prednisone, prednisolone and other drugs.
