Whether at home or in the community, we always hear that dogs have been poisoned and died. Understandably, those who are poisoned at home are usually the owners who put rat poison to kill rats, but the dogs accidentally ingested it and were poisoned, so The editor would like to remind all friends who have pets at home to be careful when spraying rat poison, and be sure to watch your dogs carefully.

1. Poisoning by endocrine rodenticides. This is a powerful rodenticide, a white crystalline powder with no odor, which can cause the permeability of pulmonary capillaries to increase, causing a large amount of plasma to enter the lung tissue, causing pulmonary edema. Pet King reminds you that a few minutes to a few hours after the dog ingests it, it will foam at the mouth, vomit, cough, and then have diarrhea, difficulty breathing, depression, visible mucosal cyanosis, and foamy bloody mucus flowing from the nostrils. Coma and drowsiness usually occur 10-12 hours after ingestion, and a few die within 2-4 hours after ingestion. There is no specific antidote for this poisoning. You can use methods of inducing vomiting, catharsis, gastric lavage and diuresis.

2. Zinc phosphide poisoning. This is a commonly used rodenticide that comes in the form of a gray powder. A few days after ingestion, it mixes with water and gastric acid in the stomach, releasing hydrogen phosphide gas and causing severe gastroenteritis. The sick dog suffered from abdominal pain, constant vomiting, not eating, coma and lethargy, and rapid and deep breathing. Diarrhea, suffocation, blood in stool. Treatment can be done by instilling 0.2%-0.5% CuSO4. 10-30 ml of solution to induce vomiting and expel toxins from the stomach. For gastric lavage, 0.02% KMnO4 solution can be used, and then 15 grams of Na2SO4 can be used for catharsis. Intravenous injection of hypertonic glucose solution is beneficial to liver protection.

3. According to Pet King’s understanding, organic fluoride rodenticides are poisoning. This is a highly poisonous drug. For 2-3 days after taking it, the sick dog will be restless, have gastrointestinal hyperactivity, vomit, bark, run around, have paroxysmal spasms all over the body, last for about 1 minute, and finally die. Treatment can be treated with intramuscular injection of fluorine, 0.1-0.2 grams per kilogram of body weight. The first dosage is 1/2 of the whole day's dosage, and the remaining 1/2 is divided into 4 parts and injected every 2 hours. Combined with inducing vomiting and gastric lavage. Feeding raw egg white to sick dogs will help protect the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Intravenous injection of 5-10 ml of calcium gluconate is very beneficial.
