After a dog eats rat poison, symptoms generally appear within tens of minutes to an hour, such as foaming at the mouth, nerve twitching, or loss of bowel control. Acute rat poison shows signs in 10-30 minutes and can kill within hours; chronic types act within hours and kill in 1-2 days. If you find the dog ate rat poison, take it to a vet for emergency care immediately.
