Vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
Stomach pain. (I don’t know how that would manifest itself in a dog.)
Nausea. (Same situation as above.)
Drowsiness, dizziness, weakness. (Dog might sleep a lot, stumble, lack energy.)
Fever (Taken by thermometer.) or chills (shown by shivering.)
Loss of appetite. (Food isn’t finished, or takes much longer than usual to eat and finish.)
Headache or irritability. (Dog might be more snappish or growl.)
Difficulty swallowing.
Abnormal salvitation.
Skin rash.
Burns on mouth or nose.
Vision troubles.
Seizures.
And finally coma.

If you suspect it I wouldn’t waste time getting fido to the vet either.

I dont know hon it would depend on what the dog has been given, but the vet can run tests and advise you. I really would leave it too long is the dog being sick ?

I agree with Sasha. If in doubt… get him checked out. This site has some first aid suggestions if you need them in a hurry.

That an untrained civilian would be able to administer. I doubt it. I’ve heard milk will delay poisoning, but I’ve seen no scientific reasoning to support that idea. It won’t hurt, but ultimately it won’t help either. The best thing to do is to take your dog to the vetenarian.

There are emergency vets 24/7 too, please have him checked hon, it may be too late if you dont. It can be a dreadfully painful death for your dog too. :-(

Are you hesitant to take the dog to the vet for any reason? Is it a money issue? Are you a dog fighter? I’m not assuming anything. It’s just important for us to know to give you better answers.

Also,

Is there an issue with your neighbour that you want to talk through when you get back from the vet?

Has your dog been barking constantly ? Jumping at the fence ? Digging holes under the fence ? Howling at night ? Pooping in the neighbours yard ?

Something to think about

I would think that the higher priority atm would be getting treatment to this dog if it is poisoned.

Countmatte.. I notice that you’ve asked for help to treat your dog before. Are you coping ok?

We can help find solutions if you are struggling in any way.

But your dog really should see a vet asap.

Is the dog too much for you to cope with?

Is it the vet bills?

We helpers have a lot of resources at our fingertips and are pretty good at getting the right help your way.

I’m sure the vet would be willing to work out a good payment plan.

Listen hun. I know you love her. That’s why we want to help you and her.

Can you tell me why you think your neighbour might have poisoned her? What gives you that idea?

Did something happen?

Is your dog not her usual self?

Right.. then you know you have to get her help.

If you can’t afford to look after her properly, you need to get her to someone who can. You need to find a no-kill shelter near you where they can help look after her until you are able to pay what it costs to keep her.

Check out this website and scroll down to find someone near you. Call them and ask them for help. http://www.saveourstrays.com/no-kill.htm

I’m concerned that reading your posts, you are not getting her treated for problems with a vet. Mites can be serious. Ear problems can get serious. No animal needs to suffer and you know in your heart that true love means getting help no matter what. You’re now asking about poisoning and it sounds like your dog is going downhill. That could easily be because you have left problems untreated rather than that your neighbour is involved.

So, either call a shelter or call your vet. Tell him your circumstances and ask him to put you on a low-income plan or to give you details of a local vet willing to do benevolant work.

Leaving your dog to suffer is not an option.

Don’t home remedy treat. Get a vet’s advice always. Your dog cannot tell you if she’s in pain. If you are visiting a vet regularly, then you are doing the right thing.

My concern is for the animal. Not your pocket.
