My dog got caustic soda in his mouth. When can he eat normally?

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!

The metacam should be sufficient for pain control for a small scratch or laceration on or in Trick's mouth. You could try applying some antibiotic ointment on the cut but he may just lick it off. It may also be helpful to feed him canned food or moisten his kibble with some warm water to make it easier to eat. If the area is still bothering Trick in 2-3 days you may want to consider taking him in to the vet to be checked out. I hope this helps.

Dish soap irritates the stomach and is expected to cause nausea and vomiting, but no other toxic effects beyond that. He should be back to normal within 24 hours if this problem is due to the soap. If he is still not eating after a day, or having other problems, then I reccomend having him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. There may be another reason for him not eating. In the meantime, make sure he has plenty of water and food available. I hope that helps and Quavo gets better soon.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend having this examined by a veterinarian. This type of swelling we can see with severe tooth root abscesses. It is likely reksio will need a course of oral antibiotics and an anti inflammatory. I would get this seen sooner rather than later as this type of infection will conti i.e. to grow bigger until the infection is treated and the tooth removed that is causing the problem otherwise, this can rupture through the skin and he will be left with a large wound on the face. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Yes there is a chance that she will survive, but immediate treatment is needed to avoid or act against intoxication cause by the soda. Immediate veterinary check up is required to save her life. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

If Mack has a habit of eating things that are not food, that could be causing the coughing, gagging, and vomiting. He may have eaten something that has upset his stomach. I do think he needs to see a vet for this, and I think it would be best if you take him into the vet first thing in the morning. X-rays are a good idea to see if there is anything in his stomach that could be causing this. I hope this helps!

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It does sound from your description like something is bothering Casper's throat, but the only way to know what's wrong and make sure we're giving Casper the help he needs is to have a vet take a look. If there's an infection, he'll need antibiotics. If there's an injury or some other issue, it needs to be identified before he can be helped. So, I recommend you make an appointment for Casper to be examined by a vet as soon as possible. In the meantime, if mashed up puppy food is what he'll eat, then keep offering that to him several times a day. You can add some water to make it a slurry, both to make it easier for him to eat, and to help supplement with fluids so he doesn't get dehydrated. Hope this helps and he feels better soon!
