If your dog has ingested rat poison, it's crucial to treat this as a serious emergency and seek veterinary attention immediately. Rat poison can lead to severe internal bleeding, neurological issues, or other life-threatening conditions, depending on the type ingested.

First, contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital without delay. They will guide you with specific instructions based on the type and amount of poison your dog has ingested.

It's important not to induce vomiting unless your veterinarian explicitly advises you to do so. Some types of rat poison can cause more harm if vomited.

Try to gather as much information as possible about the poison. If you can, bring the packaging with you to the vet, as this will assist them in determining the appropriate treatment.

Keep a close watch on your dog for any symptoms such as bleeding, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or seizures, and make sure to report these to the veterinarian.

Remember, time is of the essence in these situations, so the quicker you can get professional help, the better the chances for a positive outcome. Please take your dog to a veterinary hospital immediately. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
