My goat swallowed a mosquito coil. What should I do right now?

If the coil was citronella based, there is no cause for concern. At worst, you may see some vomiting or diarrhea. A pyrethrin based product may cause more serious gastrointestinal upset and possibly neurologic symptoms such as tremors or seizures. It depends on how much was actually ingested instead of simply chewed. If Champ is showing no symptoms by now, he is likely in the clear. If he is symptomatic, he should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER.

Every product has different ingredients, so it is hard to say without seeing the product. I recommend contacting the pet poison control hotline and they can assist you further. Good luck and kisses to Softie!

This is an emergency and you need to call your vet to come out and examine your goat or you need to take the goat to your vet. There could be many reasons for your goat's behavior such as metabolic problems, poison and also infectious diseases. All these can cause a goat to appear poisoned.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If her temp is high and she is painful or bloated in her abdomen, this could be a life threatening emergency. She may have a grain bloat, have ingested something toxic or have an infection. I recommend having a vet take a look at her as soon as possible. In the meantime try to walk her a bit and she is she is interested in browsing or chewing any hay.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This can be a serious toxicity but it depends on how much was ingested. Yes, it is indicated to have him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. They would be able to determine how much was ingested possibly and proceed accordingly. Best of luck!

There are frogs that are toxic to dogs, but most just cause drooling because of the taste of their skin. The garlic however, is very toxic to dogs. I recommend giving Lucie 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and run her around outside to induce vomiting. If that doesn't work, I would take her to a vet right away to check her blood and give her medications to prevent absorption of the garlic. Good luck and kisses to Lucie!

Good job, you did the right thing to get it out of his mouth and rinse it out. Without knowing the exact beetle I can't tell you for sure it's not toxic but generally they can irritate the mouth but not cause a serious problem. As with all toxins keep watch for vomiting, trouble breathing or facial swelling. Take him in right away if they are any abnormal symptoms.
