My cat was given an antidote but still will not eat after seven days; what should I do?
Poisoning causes vomiting and low appetite, and severe cases harm the kidneys, liver, and pancreas; there is often no specific antidote, and organ failure means low rescue odds. Not eating after detox may mean toxins reached the organs or the cat is weak; get a detailed check and nutritional support. If unable to go, give glucose-salt water 5 to 10 ml, 5 to 8 times daily, and syringe meat paste or food with vitamins and protein powder to survive.
What does kitten poisoning look like?
Kitten poisoning causes restlessness, violent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, twitching, drooling, breathing trouble, and no appetite. Some toxins destroy red cells, causing blood in urine and cyanotic mucous membranes (hemolytic anemia). Untreated, temperature drops, breathing slows, shock, even death. So see a vet promptly if suspected.
How long after eating rat poison does a dog die?
After eating a large amount of rat poison, a dog usually dies within half an hour to 24 hours; the exact time depends on the type and concentration of the poison and the dose. The toxin spreads through the body within about half an hour, so with strong poison and a large dose death may occur within half an hour. With weak poison and a small dose, timely treatment usually prevents death, but treatment must be prompt to stop the toxin building up in the liver, kidneys, and heart.
What happens if a puppy does not defecate?
Not defecating hardens stool in the gut and impairs peristalsis, causing constipation or anal fissures. Long-retained feces produce toxins that damage the gut. Walk the dog daily; train indoor elimination if housebound.
