What is the antidote to chocolate poisoning in dogs?

After eating chocolate, dogs can detoxify by inducing vomiting or promoting excretion. If you want to induce vomiting, you can dilute hydrogen peroxide and pour it into your dog's belly to make it spit out the chocolate. If it is through excretion induction, you can fill the dog with a large amount of milk to promote the dog's excretion.

If the concentration of chocolate eaten by the dog is too high or the symptoms are not relieved, it is necessary to go to the veterinarian** in time.

1. Emetic method.

You can feed your dog a spoonful of hydrogen peroxide, and of course be sure to drink it with water. If necessary, mix it with other ice creams. If the dog does not vomit, it must be fed again and vomited again.

And take the dog for a constant walk.

2. Dilute the chocolate.

If the dog does not vomit successfully. Then be sure not to feed hydrogen peroxide again. Eating too much can also be harmful. Then be sure to let the dog eat its favorite food to effectively absorb moisture and dilute the chocolate. It could be some cooked milk, of course.

Dogs are not allowed to eat chocolate, because the caffeine in it is very bad for the health of dogs, after eating will have poisoning symptoms, muscle twitching and severe drooling, at this time should immediately go to the veterinarian. If immediate medical attention is not possible, hydrogen peroxide emetic therapy can be used, or grass or mung bean soup can be fed to help excrete, and it should be rescued after 4 to 6 hours. The use of emetic method is mainly to let the dog spit out the chocolate, try to feed the dog a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, mix water to drink, keep the concentration at about 3%, you can properly mix some food with a syringe to pour mung bean soup into the mouth, at this time to be slow, can play a role in promoting digestion, so that the dog excretes chocolate.

If you find that your dog has accidentally eaten chocolate, first check what kind of chocolate your dog has eaten, and then send it to the pet hospital immediately. If you know what chocolate your dog eats, you can tell the veterinarian immediately, so that the veterinarian can give the best advice and make the dog more efficient.

In addition, if you find that your dog has eaten chocolate by mistake within half an hour, you can induce vomiting on your dog and let your dog drink a lot of water to promote metabolism. If the owner does not notice the dog after eating the chocolate, and the dog has been vomiting, diarrhea, excitement, muscle tremors, or even convulsions, the dog should be taken to the hospital in time**.

There is no specific antidote for chocolate poisoning in dogs, so owners should pay more attention to the dog's daily behavior to avoid unnecessary injury.

If the dog takes chocolate, if it is a large amount and it occurs within half an hour, it should be urgently induced to vomit.

If it is more than half an hour and the swallowing amount is relatively large, it can be accelerated in the form of enema to accelerate the excretion in the gastrointestinal tract, and then through oral laxative emollient medicine, so that the dog can not absorb it well, it can be directly excreted from the body.

If you eat a small amount, you only need to increase the amount of water you drink, so that the dog can drink more water and excrete more.

It can be used to induce vomiting and gastric lavage to help the dog excrete the remaining chocolate in the gastrointestinal tract. Or by drinking water to achieve the effect of dilution, it is best to take it to the pet hospital for treatment in time.

Immediately go to the pet hospital, inform the approximate amount of food, induce vomiting, gastric lavage under the knowledge of the veterinarian, and closely observe the clinical symptoms.

If it has been a few hours and even there are symptoms of poisoning, such as vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, convulsions and other behaviors, only send it to the pet hospital for anti-symptom ** can ensure the survival rate of the dog to the greatest extent.

Dogs eating chocolate are not detoxifying.

Drinking water after accidentally eating chocolate cannot be detoxified, and the owner needs to immediately pour soapy water on the dog to help induce vomiting.

The dog bones unearthed from the Banpo site in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, have a small skull, a prominent frontal bone, a small flesh crack tooth, and a curved horizontal edge of the mandible, which is very different from the current North China wolf, indicating that the history of human domestication of dogs is indeed very early.

If you just eat a small amount of chocolate, the puppy can still resist and don't bother the veterinarians. If you eat too much, you can only force it to eat activated charcoal to remove the methylxanthines in the chocolate and avoid entering the blood circulation through the digestive system.

Dogs can also digest small amounts of chocolate, depending on their size and the type of chocolate they eat. Sugar-free baked chocolate contains more than 6 times the amount of methylxanthines as creamy chocolate. For some small dogs, 4 ounces (about 120 grams) of creamy chocolate can be a lethal dose.

It can be detoxified by inducing vomiting, diluting chocolate, and seeking medical attention in time.

1. Induce vomiting

The food that has just been eaten will take a while to dissipate, and this time is exactly the time we can use, before the dog digests the food, we can try to use the method of vomiting to make the dog feel nauseous, and automatically spit out what has been eaten. You can feed the dog hydrogen oxide, if not, you can also add a small amount of vanilla ice cream, mix it together to make the dog not so repulsive, and then you can wait patiently, in general, the dog will start to vomit after a while.

If the method of taking hydrogen oxide does not work, the owner can try to take the dog to the grass, because the dog will find grass to eat in addition to eating bad things, and the grass is a substance that can help the dog induce vomiting.

2. Dilute the chocolate.

If the above emetic inducement does not work for the dog, we can try to let the dog eat something else to dilute the chocolate ingredients with other foods, such as cooked milk.

3. Seek medical attention in a timely manner
