Zinc Phosphide Poisoning in Dogs and Cats
Zinc phosphide is a rodenticide that releases phosphine gas in the stomach, acting mainly on the nervous system. Poisoned pets drool, vomit (with a garlic odour), develop diarrhoea with blood and may seize or fall into coma.
Diphacinone (Rodenticide Anticoagulant) Poisoning in Dogs and Cats
Diphacinone is an anticoagulant rodenticide that blocks vitamin K recycling, so poisoned pets bleed internally and may die suddenly or from haemorrhage. Vitamin K1 therapy and, in severe cases, transfusion are the mainstays of treatment.
Organophosphate Pesticide Poisoning in Dogs and Cats
Organophosphate pesticides block the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, causing a cholinergic crisis with salivation, vomiting, muscle twitching and seizures. Rapid decontamination and veterinary antidotal therapy are essential.
What causes kidney damage in dogs?
Kidney damage can come from salty food, accidental ingestion of toxins (heavy metals, rat poison), or fights. Too much salt burdens the kidneys and can cause disease; toxins can cause severe damage or failure; fights may injure the kidneys.
A 2-3 month old puppy started vomiting yellow fluid and drooling white foam, is lethargic, walks slowly and unsteadily, loves to lie down and sleep, eats nothing, sometimes drinks, and its belly twitches when drinking; then it became less affectionate with a vacant stare — about 5-6 days now, given glucose IV
Hello, based on your description, the puppy's symptoms are mainly considered to come from poisoning or an infectious disease. The situation is urgent, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly. If the dog ate rat poison or other toxic substances, the nerves can be easily damaged, causing vomiting and convulsions; in that case it needs prompt induced vomiting or gastric lavage plus a specific antidote. In addition, if the dog is not fully vaccinated, it may have caught distemper, parvovirus, or similar infectious diseases that cause vomiting, so consult a veterinarian immediately for treatment.
Why doesn’t a cat die from eating mice?
The most dangerous germ in mice is the plague bacterium, but not all mice carry it; if the eaten mouse has no virus, the cat is fine. Cats evolved some resistance, but a mouse with bacteria or rat poison can kill.
My dog suddenly died this afternoon after running in circles six times, then lay still.
Circling then sudden death usually signals acute encephalitis from distemper, bacteria, or tumors, showing restless running and collisions. Foaming or convulsions may instead indicate poisoning. Common causes include human meds, rat poison, or pesticide-contaminated plants.
What Does Blood in Cat Urine Look Like?
Blood in urine mixes a little blood, turning it pink or bright red, from many causes: poisoning (onion, antibiotics, rat poison), urinary disease (FIC, urethritis, stones), or infection/leukemia/liver/kidney disease. See a vet.
My Dog Vomits White Foam, Has Diarrhea, and Has Something in Its Eye
Foam and diarrhea can be gastroenteritis, poisoning, parasites, or virus. An unvaccinated dog with inflammatory eye discharge may have distemper, needing a vet; recent toxins like rat poison or disinfectant also need detox to avoid organ damage.
What does blood in urine and refusal to eat mean in a dog?
Blood in urine has several causes; most are urinary - urethritis, cystitis, kidney issues, stones, tumors - or trauma from impact. Poisoning causing hemolysis (onions, leeks, rat poison) also does it, as do blood parasites from ticks (babesia, anaplasma, Lyme). Mild urethritis keeps spirits and appetite, so observe with antibiotics; with lethargy, fever, or anorexia, see a vet to avoid worsening.
