My dog ate caustic soda. What are her survival chances after a small amount?

I would recommend taking Bailey to your local veterinary ER. These types of products can be quite irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and also have the potential to be toxic in other ways. The vet will do a thorough physical exam and look for any obvious symptoms. They may also recommend you contact the pet poison hotline to gather more information regarding treatment depending on the severity of the symptoms. At the least you can expect to be prescribed some medications to help protect Bailey’s stomach and intestines from the irritants in this product. She may need IV fluids and intensive hospital management if she develops significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Good luck, I hope Bailey comes through this ok.

Hello. I’m so sorry to hear this! You need to get Kota to a veterinary emergency room ASAP. The ingestion of this quantity of bleach could be fatal. He will need supportive care to see him through this intoxication. Whatever you do, don’t make him throw up because bleach is caustic and can cause more trouble coming back up. I sincerely hope Kota is ok. Good luck!

I am sorry Mack is not feeling well and thank you for using pet coach. I would recommend taking Mack to your local vet for an exam but also to hopefully start him on pain medications. IF he has swelling and an ulcer due to a caustic material pain medication might really help him eat and feel better. You can try softening his food or even feeding a can diet incase this hurts less. Typically wounds will take 7-14 days to improve or resolve depending on how deep the ulcers or injury is. I hope he makes a speedy recovery

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Skaja. Yes, I do recommend seeing a veterinarian as salt toxicity can be serious. It would be a good idea to check some blood work on her, especially her sodium levels. X-rays will help to ensure that she vomited all of the large pieces of salt. Based on these results, a treatment plan can be formulated if necessary. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bleach can severely irritate the gastrointestinal system even causing a chemical burn depending on the product used. While there is not an antidote, there are medications that can help with the symptoms that are simply not over the counter. For that reason, it is recommended that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to examine him, gather more information and decide how to treat him next. I am hoping for a speedy recovery!

IF she did not eat a lot then it's not likely to cause her any issues, the main concern is the release of gases which occurs with food and water ingestion, i would recommend fasting her for 12 hours just in case.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. Oh no, that's not good. Because the bleach is in water, it is diluted, which makes it less toxic. She may be fine, but I will give you some thinks you can do for her. First, give her a small bowl of milk. This may help neutralize any bleach present. Then check her mouth, see if you can see any redness in her mouth. If you do, she will need to see a vet. Otherwise, keep an eye on her. If she starts excessively drooling or vomits, have her see a vet right away. Best of luck.
