My dog ate a bug with raid on it. She's 'round 35-40lbs. How much will it affect her...if any?
Serious inquiries only please...Thanks.

The bug was a cane spider

This should not have any effect on her, so long as it was only one. Do, however, keep an eye on her just in case. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, not wanting to eat, or just acting "sick". But honestly, one bug shouldn't hurt. Just like if your dog eats a mouse poisoned by D-Con, it shouldn't do any harm (the poison will already have been partly metabolized, and the small amount ingested by the mouse is virtually nothing once the dog eats the mouse)

Worst case is that she might throw up for a day or two, but raid really doesn't affect our pets that much, even though the can says to keep them away from sprayed areas, (or eating those bugs....eww.) My parents used to use D-con to kill vermin and our rottwieller must have gotten into it somehow, or tried eating a mouse that had eaten it, or something.
Toby went blind and he was going to die, a friend of theirs suggested liquid silver, its an immunity booster for humans (and dogs, I've found.) Anyways, Toby not only lived through it, he regained his sight. Much prayers helped him, too. :-)
Our two dogs (chihuahuas) had a similar experience with liquid silver. The youngest one must have had some disease from their mother, he wouldn't move he was so sick. The other one was fine. We prayed alot for him, but as soon as I gave him liquid silver through a oral serenge he got out of my lap and picked up the rope we bought them to play with. I was so overjoyed.
The brand we bought was from GNC, but I had to call around to several stores first to make sure that they had it. The brand is Silver Biotics, it is 10 ppm silver. I would only give our 3 pounder about half a dose, the ten pounder I will give a mml if they get sick now.
Hope it helps....

-Try to make your doggy vomit. Gently put a finger down the beastie's throat or give strong warm salt water. If your dog starts acting strange-panting heavily,his/her gums turn pale take your dog to the vet immediately. The Raid might not be toxic; but the bug might be.

omg! watch what she does. it should pass through her digestive system or she may vomit it out. if she acts a little weird, take her to the vet asap. good luck!
