Food poisoning can be roughly divided into three categories:
Bacterial food poisoning
Bacterial food poisoning means that dogs eat some food contaminated by bacteria, such as salmonella on pork, chicken and beef; Bacteria that breed on fish and shellfish; Others include Escherichia coli, staphylococcus and so on. These bacteria are difficult to destroy.
drug intoxication
Refers to the Chinese patent medicine, lice powder, insecticide and insecticidal powder for licking dogs.
Natural food poisoning
Refers to dogs eating some poisonous plant food, puffer fish and poisonous shellfish food. Because many owners, especially in spring and summer, like to bathe their dogs with lice killing drugs, sometimes the lice killing drugs remain on the puppies because they are not thoroughly washed or do not have a real-time hair dryer to dry their bodies. When the dog licked its body, it ate poison.
First aid method
When you find that your dog has food poisoning, you should see a doctor immediately. The owner should calmly think about the possible causes of dog poisoning ... eating food, pesticides, plants ... and so on, and then make it clear to the doctor. In the meantime, you can try to feed milk before the doctor arrives, because milk has a neutralizing effect; Or give the dog a lot of boiled water to expel toxins from the body.
Also, dogs will be weak after being poisoned, so it is very important to keep warm.
First, food poisoning.
Dogs are poisoned after eating spoiled fish, meat, yogurt and other foods because these spoiled foods contain a large number of Proteus, staphylococcal toxins, salmonella enterotoxins and Clostridium botulinum toxins. Deteriorated fish is polluted by Proteus, which causes protein to decompose and produce histamine. The incubation period of histamine poisoning does not exceed 2 hours. Dogs suddenly vomit, have diarrhea, have difficulty breathing, have a lot of snot, have dilated pupils and suffer from ataxia. Dogs may be unconscious, paralyzed in the hindquarters, weak, hematuria and black feces.
Treatment of putrid fish poisoning can be intravenous or subcutaneous injection of glucose, vitamin C, oral diphenhydramine, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of cyanotoxin.
Staphylococcal toxin poisoning can cause acute gastroenteritis symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea in sick dogs. Severe punishment leads to dyspnea, convulsion and convulsion. Vomiting, rehydration and symptomatic treatment were used during the treatment. Gastric lavage and enema can be performed when necessary.
Botulinum toxin can cause motor paralysis, coma and even death in dogs. The symptoms of botulinum poisoning in dogs are related to food intake. At the initial stage, the neck and shoulder muscles were paralyzed, and gradually quadriplegia appeared, with slow response, dilated pupils, difficulty swallowing, saliva flowing out and drooping ears. Conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis are common in the eyes. Finally died of respiratory paralysis. Clostridium botulinum poisoning has a short course of disease and high mortality. Inject antitoxin, intravenous injection or intramuscular injection immediately after onset. The symptomatic treatment can be gastric lavage with 0.0 1% potassium permanganate solution, catharsis or enema, intravenous drip and intramuscular injection of penicillin. The best way to prevent this disease is that dog food should be cooked and not kept for a long time.
