What Should I Do If My Dog Eats Weed Killer?

If you think your dog has eaten weed killer, it's important to take action immediately. The type of weed killer your dog has ingested will determine the severity of the symptoms and the treatment required. Some weed killers are more toxic than others, and some can even be fatal if not treated promptly.

* Your dog's age, weight, and breed

* Any symptoms your dog is experiencing

2. If your veterinarian or the animal poison control center advises you to induce vomiting, follow their instructions carefully. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious or having seizures.

3. If your veterinarian or the animal poison control center advises you to take your dog to a veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital, do so immediately.

4. Keep your dog away from any other potential sources of weed killer.

5. Monitor your dog closely for any symptoms of weed killer poisoning. These symptoms can include:
