Here are a few major toxins we have seen at our clinic recently! These are just a few. There are many different toxins our pets can be exposed to.
Fertilizer
🐾 Keep pets off treated lawns for 24 to 48 hours or until the product is completely dry.Wash your dog's paws immediately if they walk on fresh fertilizer.
Here are a few signs of fertilizer poisoning-
🐶 Vomiting and diarrhea
🐶 Drooling and lack of coordination
🐶Muscle stiffness or weakness
🐶Tremors or seizures
‼️ If your dog eats a large amount or shows severe signs, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away.
Lillies
🐾 Lilies and daylilies are extremely toxic to cats and can cause fatal kidney failure in less than three days.
Rat poison
🐾 There are several different types of rat poisons. It is essential to bring your pet in to the vet right away when you see them consume rat poison.
If your pet is exposed to any toxin, call Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or your veterinarian right away.
