Question

My 80 pound 1 year old Golden Retriever ingested some (not suure how much) Contrac rodentcide - .5% Bromadiolone about an hour ago. We induced vomiting immediately and she threw up everything in her stomach. We could see evidence of the green pellets of the rat poison in the contents of her stomach. Is there anything else we should do? Thanks. Tom

Accepted Answer

Hi Tom,

 

I am sorry your dog is having trouble. I'm very glad that you got the rodenticide out. It would be a good idea to take your dog straight to the nearest emergency vet right away. They can check her clotting times, which might be affected by the rodenticide, and they can prescribe some vitamin K1 to help with any resulting blood clotting issues. Even if the clotting times are normal, vitamin K1 will likely be prescribed. Your dog may need to be seen again tomorrow or the next day to have her clotting times rechecked, and she may need to be on the vitamin K1 for several weeks. If you don't have her seen, she could get into trouble and experience bleeding issues, liver or kidney failure and could ultimately die as a result. The vets might also want to give her some activated charcoal, to absorb any of the residual rodenticide not vomited up. Please try to have her seen right away and let me know if I can be of further assistance. If this has been helpful, please hit the green accept button. Best of luck with your pretty girl, I hope things go well for her :)
