Quickly identify the type of poisoning
There are three common types of poisoning in dogs, namely inhalation poisoning, accidental ingestion poisoning, and contact poisoning. These three types of poisoning symptoms are actually not difficult to distinguish. Very obvious
inhalation poisoning
dog showing signs of coughing, drooling, dyspnea, coma, etc.
accidental ingestion
because of these foods Irritant to dogs, dogs will show signs of vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, disorientation, convulsions, lethargy, loss of appetite, mydriasis, coma
Contact poisoning
This type of poisoning is relatively rare. If dogs come into contact with chemicals and poisonous plants, they will show signs of discomfort, restlessness, frantically scratching the affected area, licking the affected area, swelling and other signs , if the contact is more toxic, the dog’s skin will turn red, and even show signs of ulceration, subcutaneous bleeding, etc.
In the event of an accident after learning to distinguish the type of poisoning, you will find the signs of poisoning and Type, but found does not mean that you can take the dog to the hospital.
Before sending the dog to the veterinary hospital, the dog owner must pay attention to these 3 points:
Preservation of the poison source
The first thing to do is to determine the specific properties of the poison source. If it is chocolate, keep and carry the chocolate and its outer packaging. If it is a plant, can some samples be carried? In short, you have to save the poison, which will play a very important role in the rescue work. The veterinarian can use the poison source you provide to quickly make a rescue plan
Protect yourself
You must know how to protect yourself. Some dog owners panic when they find that their dog is poisoned. Don’t panic! What you need to do is to determine what the source of the poison is. If it is a gas, transport the dog to a place where the air is well-ventilated on the premise that you will not absorb it; if it is contact poisoning, remember to wear it before transporting the dog. Gloves, do a good job of protection
Protect the dog
When transporting, it is best to wrap the dog in a blanket, etc. The dog wrapped in the blanket is more convenient to transport, if it is Vomiting, it is best to have someone around the dog to clean up the vomit at all times, while making sure that the vomit does not get stuck in the airway and cause suffocation
And the most important thing to remember: do not induce vomiting on your own
It is repeatedly emphasized that under any circumstances, zipper does not recommend or even strongly dislike the behavior of the owner to induce vomiting for the dog without authorization
/p>
It is not that you can induce vomiting by accidentally ingesting poisons. The “hydrogen peroxide inducing vomiting” method widely rumored on the Internet is not a panacea.
Some things may have the opposite effect after inducing vomiting. If it is appropriate, or the dog does not cooperate, it is likely to cause hydrogen peroxide or vomit to accidentally enter the lungs, causing other diseases such as pneumonia. If the poison happens to have a chemical reaction with hydrogen peroxide, the consequences will be disastrous.
Take ten thousand steps back, How many dog owners in China have been trained to induce vomiting? How many dog owners know that the important premise of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting is unopened hydrogen peroxide, and the opened hydrogen peroxide has very poor emetic effect
So, without the guidance of the veterinarian, immediately take the dog to the hospital It is the most correct choice, don’t hope to get the correct first aid plan from the mouth of netizens
