My dog ate a mosquito coil. What should I do if he ingested it?

It appears that mosquito coil uses a synthetic pyrethrin, which could be toxic when ingested. I would recommend that you call the 1-800 number on the packaging to see if they can provide medical advice. Alternatively you can call the Pet Poison Helpline to ask about toxic doses of this substance. Ideally you will need to have the packaging so that they can find the active ingredient percentage to determine toxicity level.

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!

Ghontu may experience some gastrointestinal signs (vomiting and diarrhoea), but it is unlikely to have any other significant sign. I would recommend to have him checked again if you notice anything abnormal and to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While it is not possible to know for sure how much he ingested, it was unlikely to be any substantial amount. For that reason, Chigger may be just fine. I would recommend that you watch him closely and if he does show symptoms such as decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and/or discomfort have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, he is likely going to be ok. Best of luck!

Hi Nicki! Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. This is concerning because nicotine is toxic to dogs. Since you aren't sure if they ingested any or not, I'd keep an eye on them for now. If you see tremors, constricted pupils, drooling, excitement, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, a racing heart rate, or twitching, take them into a vet immediately. Typically signs of toxicity occur within one hour. I hope this helps!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is pretty unlikely that Marley was able to puncture the can with her teeth. I would be concerned that she jumped because she fractured a tooth or injured herself on the can. She may have just been startled. A small amount of air freshener is likely to be bitter and may cause besides and vomiting. I recommend keeping a close eye on Marley. She should be seen by a vet if you think she is painful in the mouth (hypersalivating, guarding, etc) or is vomiting or lethargic. I hope this helps and that all is well with Marley!

Good question. Look for tremors, drooling, constricted pupils, diarrhea, seizures, and an increased heart rate. Typically symptoms of nicotine poisoning occur within one hour of ingestion, but I'd watch him tonight to be safe. If you see any of the signs I mentioned above, please take him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
