What are the symptoms of drug poisoning in dogs?
Expert Answer
Common symptoms of drug poisoning in dogs include unusual excitement, diarrhea, vomiting, reduced appetite, heavy drooling, and seizures; in severe cases it can even lead to shock, coma, and death. Therefore, if a dog shows adverse symptoms after taking medicine, take it to a vet promptly.
Some medications used incorrectly can seriously damage the dog’s liver, kidneys, and other organs, and without timely treatment the dog may die within a short time.
My dog once reacted badly to the wrong dose of meds and the article's right, the drooling, vomiting, and seizures sent me straight to a vet, because drug poisoning can kill fast. If your dog shows excitement, diarrhea, or seizures after medicine, get to a vet immediately, some drugs trash the liver and kidneys in hours. Mine recovered with prompt care. Never dose human meds, and if he reacts, rush him in, every minute counts when organs are at stake.
