What effect does Blue Death Rat Poison have on a dog?

Question

Dog is a Rot puppie - about 40 lbs. - ate dead rats killed by Blue Death and a whole package of Blue Death

Answer 1

Rat poison has no arsenic in it....but your puppy will absolutely die if you don't take him in for immediate treatment. Rat poison is going to cause his blood to lose the ability to clot, and he will start bleeding internally. (That's how it kills rodents.) He won't show signs that there is a problem for 2-4 days, but by the time it gets to that point, the death rate is pretty high even with treatment. It's a pretty miserable, drawn-out death.

So....don't wait.

Make him vomit RIGHT NOW by giving him 1-2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide (if you have it) by mouth, followed with an ounce or two of plain water. If you can see the rat poison or rat body parts in his vomit, repeat the dose to make him vomit again, because there may be more still in his stomach. This won't help if it has been more than an hour or 2 since he ate it.
If you don't have peroxide, don't waste time going to the store to get any....get him to the hospital ASAP so they can induce vomiting ASAP.

Even if he does throw it up, you still have to take him in....because some of it will likely have already made it past his stomach and been absorbed into his blood stream where it will start wreaking havoc. There is no antidote you can give at home.

Make sure to take the rat poison package with you to the emergency clinic. Expect them to draw blood for a baseline hematocrit and clot time so they'll have something for comparison to make sure the treatment is working in a few days.
Expect them to give him activated charcoal to hopefully absorb any poison still in his GI tract, and prevent it from being absorbed into his blood. Expect them to give him a special type of Vitamin K....first by injection, then he'll likely have to stay on the oral form for 4-8 weeks, depending upon the active ingredient. His blood will be rechecked before you stop the medication, then again 48 hours later. If it looks good then, you're home free. It is crucial that he be strictly confined and not allowed any physical activity until he finishes treatment, plus an additional week after ending the vitamin K.

Please don't delay. Make him vomit, then get in the car and get to the closest animal emergency clinic (or your own DVM if they're open or provide after-hours service) ASAP.

The longer you wait, the more it's going to cost you financially....and the less likely he is to survive. This is a BIG DEAL.

It could have damaged her organs, yes, since rat poison causes hemorrhaging. Depending on the level of damage her lifespan could be shorter. GSDs are prone to hip dysplasia, but I'm not sure if the poison could have manifested it sooner. The limp could be a completely unrelated injury, or your dog could be manifesting hip dysplasia early, or she might have a nasty bruise on her leg as a result of the internal bleeding from the poison. You might want to see your vet again and ask about that, since there could be many reasons for a limp.

Rat poison is lethal to humans as well as dogs, cats and rats! If a dog/cat eats polluted meat, get the animal to be sick. But call a vet as soon as possible. Prayers with you.

Call the vet ASAP!!! Especially if he is showing any abnormal symptoms including any bleeding, vomiting, or trouble breathing. I'd had to hold dying puppies in my arms, convulsing in seizures, just because they ingested rat poison.
