6 things to do if your dog or cat is poisoned

1. Observe the symptoms and see if the dog is still conscious.

2. Observe the surrounding area.

You should check the area where your dog or cat was poisoned to see if there are any leftover medicine, food scraps, or other objects that could indicate the cause. If you find any, you should take them to a veterinarian for examination.

3. Be careful of poisons that have strong acidic or alkaline properties. Do not induce vomiting.

The poison he ingested may be a strong acid or alkaline substance, so if you are unsure what your child has ingested, do not induce vomiting as this can be dangerous.

4. Check what was vomited.

If your pet vomits, check the vomit to see what it looks like and take it to your veterinarian.

5. Take certain medicines or chemicals to absorb the toxins. 

During the time you take your dog or cat to the hospital, you may give them egg whites, milk, or activated charcoal.Mixed with water, it can help absorb toxins. But it should be given during the initial period of exposure to the toxin or within 4 hours.

6. Take him to see a veterinarian immediately.

Take your dog or cat to the veterinarian immediately, along with any signs of poisoning you may have found in the area, so the veterinarian can diagnose and provide proper treatment.
