Dog Ate Battery

Answer 3

Despite what past answerers have said, DO NOT make the dog throw the batteries up. This will only increase the problem, as the batteries insides are acid. The dog will most likely have to have its stomach pumped, but call your vet before you bring the dog in. There may be something you can do to keep the dog ok for the time you need to get him/her to the vet.

Answer 4

Wow.. That seems like a real bad idea.. eating batteries.. I don't think the package says not to eat them but I think it's a given.

Alkaline batteries generally the most common type contain corrosives that, if chewed or punctured by curious dogs and cats, can result in oral and gastrointestinal ulcers. And some batteries used in cameras, MP3 players and watches contain nickel cadmium, which can lead to gastrointestinal irritation; in cases of large ingestion, neurological effects may occur.

Answer 5

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU89F

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 6

That's extremely dangerous! The dog needs to be taken to a vet immediately! They can be poisoned by the batteries.

Answer 7

This came from the "National Animal Poison Control" website:


BATTERIES
Did You Know… batteries can cause more than just stomach upset if eaten by pets?

Many families have acquired an assortment of toys, electronics and other gizmos from recent holiday gift exchanges, many requiring various types of batteries to power them up. Because of the possible increase in battery usage this time of year, it is important for pet owners to be aware of the risks that batteries can pose, and take precautions against accidental exposures.

Alkaline batteries are generally the most common type of batteries, and are used in a wide variety of gadgets. This form of battery contains corrosives, which if chewed or punctured, can potentially result in the development of oral and gastrointestinal (GI) ulcers, or even perforation of the GI tract. Due to their corrosive nature, pet owners should never attempt to induce vomiting if their pet is suspected of having chewed and ingested an alkaline battery. These batteries also contain zinc, and while zinc poisoning is uncommon from battery ingestions, the possibility still exists if enough zinc leaks out of the battery casing.

Other types of batteries used in cameras, MP3 players, watches and other electronic devices include nickel cadmium (often labeled as “NiCd”), lithium, nickel metal hydride (usually referred to as “NiMH) and button cell. NiCd batteries contain cadmium, which could lead to the development of gastrointestinal irritation, and in cases where a large ingestion has occurred, neurologic effects may also be possible. While lithium can be poisonous, toxicity does not typically occur from lithium containing batteries. Button cell batteries can contain mercury, which may also present a hazard to pets if swallowed.

Pet owners should note that even if a pet swallows a battery whole without puncturing it, problems could still result- such as an intestinal obstruction. An obstruction from a foreign object like a battery could result in an emergency situation, possibly requiring surgery to remove the object. Because of these potential risks, batteries should always be securely stored in areas completely inaccessible to pets to avoid an accidental ingestion.

Answer 8

You should do the same thing you would do if you saw your little sister or brother eating batteries...
tell your parents and take them to the doctor.
If your a child tell your parents and take it to the vet,
if you cant take it to the vet now give it lots of water and milk. Then try taking it outside to poop.
Then take it as soon as you can to the vet.

Answer 9

CALL the vet! Batteries are dangerous and what the vet does is make the dog throw them up, or throw up what was eaten if it's a broken battery.

Call the vet and ask what to do. They might be able to suggest using something in the kitchen to make the dog throw up what it just ate.

Answer 10

First of all, you or your aunt shouldn't have left the batteries lying around. But, your dog already ate it so there's nothing you can do. Dogs/cats that eat batteries can result in oral and gastrointestinal ulcers. You should bring your dog to the vet as soon as possible!

Answer 11

Take it to the vet ASAP. I know of a German Shepherd that consumed batteries and she almost died. They had to get them surgically removed. the battery acid alone can poison and kill your dog.
