Accepted Answer
Hello. Thanks for writing in. I get concerned no matter how much of this actually ingested. I wouldn't take any chances with this. Rat poison is very deadly if left untreated. I would induce vomiting with 3% hydrogen peroxide given orally. For his size, it would take about 7 tablespoons (larger spoon). It may take 10-15 minutes to vomit. If you see all the pellets in the vomit, he will most likely be fine. Afterwards, I would take him to your nearest veterinary emergency clinic to get activated charcoal and get started on Vitamin K to counteract the poison. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.
