What To Do For A Poisoned Animal
Be Prepared for a Poison Emergency: Your animal may become poisoned in spite of your best efforts to secure your home. Because of this, we urge you to be prepared. Your animal companion should regularly be seen by a local veterinarian to maintain overall health.
Know your vet’s procedures for emergency situations, especially ones that occur after usual business hours. Keep phone numbers for the veterinarian Close by so you will know where it is at all times.
Poison Safety Kit: Keep a pet safety kit on hand for emergencies. Such a kit should contain:
A fresh bottle of hydrogen peroxide 3% (USP)
Can of soft dog or cat food, as appropriate.
Turkey baster, bulb syringe or large medical syringe.
Saline eye solution to flush out eye contaminants.
Artificial tear gel to lubricate eyes after flushing.
Mild grease-cutting dishwashing liquid for the animal after skin contamination.
Rubber gloves.
Forceps to remove stingers.
Muzzle. An excited animal may harm you.
Pet carrier.
