What to do if your dog eats something toxic

If your dog eats something toxic, it’s best to contact your vet immediately. Treatment depends entirely on what your dog has eaten, and may include:

• An injection to make them sick (given by your vet - never try to make your dog vomit unless your vet specifically tells you to)
• Activated charcoal in a meal (helps absorb any remaining toxins and gas)
• An overnight stay on a fluid drip
• Blood tests
• Any medicines that may help reduce the effects of the substance they’ve eaten
• X-rays
• An ultrasound scan of their tummy
• An emergency operation
