Depending on the different properties of the poison, some dogs may also experience hemolysis, paddling, difficulty breathing, muscle spasms, dilated and divergent pupils, lameness, etc. No matter which kind, they should be sent to the hospital immediately for rescue and detoxification.

What situations can cause dogs to be poisoned?

1. Food poisoning: Dogs do not have a certain ability to distinguish food, such as some expired and rotten food, or food that is taboo for dogs. After dogs eat expired and rotten food, it will seriously affect their gastrointestinal health and lead to poisoning.

2. Forbidden foods: onions and chocolate. Dogs must not eat these two foods. Chocolate also contains a large amount of theobromine, which can affect the blood flow to the brain of dogs. Reduced blood flow in the brain may lead to heart disease or more serious diseases in dogs. There is also n-propyl disulfide in onions, which can destroy red blood cells in the blood of dogs.

3. Accidental ingestion of pesticides: Pesticides are generally very toxic. Whether it is eaten by humans or dogs, it will seriously threaten their lives. After a dog accidentally eats pesticides, he will first become extremely excited, then twitch all over and foam at the mouth.

4. Accidental ingestion of rodenticide: Some families will prepare some rodenticide or cockroach poison to deal with nasty rats and cockroaches. Sometimes, after dogs accidentally eat these drugs, their ears, eyes and noses will be damaged. The mouth will bleed, and severe symptoms may lead to nerve numbness, difficulty breathing, and death.
