WHY DEWORM? Let’s talk about Spirocercosis!
We’ve recently seen more cases of Spirocerca lupi infections at the vet, a dangerous parasitic worm that can be fatal to dogs.
Poison Emergency Treatment for Dogs
This is an emergency measure until you can take your pet to the vet. Get the dog to vomit as soon as possible.
1. Administer 5 ml of 3% peroxide volume 10 with a syringe.
2. Administer slowly into the mouth and allow to swallow (beware of the lungs).
3. After vomiting, mix 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal powder with a bit of water (5 - 10 capsules) and administer with a syringe into the mouth. If not available, burn 4 slices of white bread in an oven to charcoal and feed.
For Two-Step Aldicarb Poisoning:
Follow the first two steps above and then rush to the vet for an intravenous atropine injection.
With Rat Poison:
Follow the first two steps above, then administer vitamin K intravenously with kyrovite or second best, vitamin K tablets.
Get your supply of cortisone and antihistamines from your vet.
