Dogs are very prone to poisoning in summer. Poisoning is divided into three types: food poisoning, rodenticide poisoning and pesticide poisoning. In summer, food is very easy to spoil due to temperature and humidity problems, and bacteria in bacteria are easy to appear. Rodenticides and pesticides are often used to kill rats and mow and beautify lawns in summer.


Conditions in dog food

Proteus poisoning


Too long to read : Proteus appears in spoiled fish meat, which produces histamine in the body, causing the death of the dog within 2 hours. Symptoms include: vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, excessive nasal discharge, dilated pupils, ataxia, and the dog may be comatose. Hindquarters paralysis, weakness, hematuria, and black feces.

Deteriorated fish is contaminated by Proteus bacteria, which causes protein decomposition and the production of histamine. The incubation period of histamine poisoning does not exceed 2 hours. The dog suddenly vomits, has diarrhea, difficulty breathing, excessive nasal discharge, dilated pupils, and ataxia. The dog may be comatose, hindquarters paralyzed, weak, hematuria, and black feces.
Treatment:
You can inject glucose and vitamin C intravenously or subcutaneously, take diphenhydramine orally, and inject penicillin intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Staphylococcus toxin poisoning can cause symptoms of acute gastroenteritis and vomiting in sick dogs. , abdominal pain, diarrhea. In severe cases, difficulty breathing, convulsions, and convulsions may occur. Treatment includes inducing vomiting, rehydration and symptomatic treatment. Gastric lavage and enema can be performed if necessary.

Clostridium botulinum poisoning

Too long to read: Botulinum toxin symptoms: unresponsiveness, dilated pupils, difficulty swallowing, salivary discharge , the ears are droopy. Conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis are more common in eyes. Finally died due to respiratory paralysis. Treatment: Gastric lavage with 0.01% potassium permanganate solution and injection of penicillin.
Clostridium botulinum toxin can cause motor paralysis, coma, and even death in dogs. The symptoms of Clostridium botulinum poisoning in dogs are related to the amount ingested. In the early stage, the neck and shoulder muscles were paralyzed, followed by quadriplegia, slow reaction, dilated pupils, difficulty swallowing, salivation, and drooping ears. Conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis are more common in eyes. Finally died due to respiratory paralysis. Clostridium botulinum poisoning has a short course and high mortality.
Inject antitoxin immediately after onset, intravenously or intramuscularly.

Poisoning by rodenticide

Poisoning by endogenous rodenticide

This is a powerful rodenticide, white and odorless crystals powder, causing increased pulmonary capillary permeability, plasmaA large amount enters the lung tissue, causing pulmonary edema. A few minutes to a few hours after the dog ingests it, he will vomit, foam at the mouth, then have diarrhea, cough, 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. Methods of inducing vomiting, gastric lavage, catharsis and diuresis can be used.


Zinc phosphide poisoning

This is a commonly used rodenticide in the form of 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, not eating, constant vomiting, coma and lethargy, and rapid and deep breathing. Suffocation, diarrhea, blood in stool.
For treatment, 0.2%-0.5% CuSO4 can be administered. 10-30 ml of solution to induce vomiting and expel toxins from the stomach. Gastric lavage can be performed with 0.02% KMnO4 solution, followed by 15 grams of Na2SO4 for catharsis. Intravenous injection of hypertonic glucose solution is beneficial to liver protection.


Organofluoride rodenticide poisoning

Organofluoride rodenticide is a highly toxic drug. The sick dog will be restless, vomiting, gastrointestinal hyperfunction, and disordered for 2-3 days after taking it. Running, barking, body spasms, lasting about 1 minute, and finally death.
