My dog ate brown powder from apartment wall. Is it poison?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know exactly what is going on though I am afraid that he could have suffered a toxicity given that you mentioned a medical powder he could have ingested. His clinical symptoms in general are quite concerning and warrant an evaluation as soon as possible. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Please make sure to give them all the information that you have on that powder you mentioned as that could be the issue and that would be vital information for them to know. Good luck and have a good night! I am hoping for the best!

Poor guy. This is mysterious indeed. It isn't clear where this white powder could have come from or what it was based on this description. Also the fact that he threw up suggests that perhaps he did ingest something that you are not aware of. White powder does suggest that this may have been the source of toxin he ingested, which could be a chemical or even the inside of some kind of medication. If he continues to vomit, then I would suggest taking him in to your vet for proper treatment. If he did ingest something he will need to get detoxed and some bloodwork ran to see if any of his internal organs were affected. I do hope that your fur baby Max is going to be ok moving forward. Best of luck and take care.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Louis. Unfortunately I cannot give you a definitive answer because it depends on the type of poison that was laid out. Some poisons are anti-coagulants causing excessive bleeding while others cause neurological symptoms. Contact the exterminator or the manager of the apartment to find out the type of poison that was placed, and then post again so we can help you. To be safe, you can take Louis into a vet immediately to get checked out. Best oil uck.

It is very unlikely that there would be enough residue to cause toxicity in a dog Ziggy's size as long as you are 100% certain that there was nothing left in the box. With all types of rodenticides you wouldn't necessarily see any signs of toxicity for 12-36 hours, but ingestion of the actual material would be necessary to cause toxicity. If you think there is any possibility that some could be left I would recommend taking a close look at the box and contacting the Pet Poison Helpline: www.petpoisonhelpline.com

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While this rat poison has a different mechanism of action that has been advertised as being less harmful to dogs, it has been reported to cause issues in dogs including anemia, gastrointestinal upset, among other symptoms. For that reason, I would recommend that you contact the ASPCA poison control center as they specialize in the more uncommon toxicities in dogs and will have more information on how to proceed from here. Otherwise, have him evaluated by a veterinarian so that they can contact the poison control center for you and proceed with the treatment recommendations. This is time sensitive and he should be evaluated as soon as possible. I am hoping for a full recovery!

I don't know all the details about his case and what his bloodwork looked like, but if the vet said he should be fine, then it appears everything checked out ok. I know how it is to worry about your pet and wanting extra confirmation that things are fine. Only at high doses are they considered lethal, and there would have been symptoms of a high dosage within 12 hrs of ingestion. If you have not seen any symptoms (i.e. hyperexcitability, hyperthermia, muscle tremors, hyperthermia, or seizures), then he did not receive a lethal dose of the toxin. Low dose toxicity can cause delayed symptoms, which are 1-4 days post ingestion. These are typically managed with medications and supportive care. Just keep an eye on Beau for the next 2 days for any changes and have them addressed by your vet asap. Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing that he likely did not ingest a lethal dose of the poison. Best wishes with your pet Beau and I hope he continues to do well. Take care!

As long as she didn't ingest any, there is little concern that she will have any toxic effects. You can flush her mouth with water to help ensure there is no residue. It's best to find out the type of poison. If you have the packaging, then there should be a number to call in case of poisoning. If you call the number on the package (1-877-854-2494) you should be able to talk to someone at the animal poison control who can help you determine what chance there is of any toxic effects and if anything needs to be done. I hope that helps and all is well with Poo Bear.
