Dog Hydrogen Peroxide Overdose Threshold
Exploring the Excess Threshold of Hydrogen Peroxide in Dogs
When a dog accidentally eats a foreign body, hydrogen peroxide is sometimes used to induce vomiting. However, the excess threshold should be clear to prevent harm to the dog's health.
Usually, hydrogen peroxide is used to induce vomiting in dogs. The appropriate dose is 1 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per pound of body weight, and the single dose should not exceed 45 ml. If this standard is exceeded, it may cause serious problems.
Excessive hydrogen peroxide can cause a large amount of gas in the dog's gastrointestinal tract, causing stomach bloating and even stomach rupture. It may also cause severe vomiting, causing esophageal damage. If hydrogen peroxide enters the lungs, it can cause serious respiratory problems such as aspiration pneumonia.
For example, if a small dog weighs 5 pounds and uses more than 5 milliliters of 3% hydrogen peroxide, it may be excessive; if a large dog weighs 100 pounds, there is also a risk of overdose if it uses more than 45 milliliters.
In practical applications, consult a veterinarian before using hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. If a suspected overdose has occurred, such as breathing difficulties, continuous vomiting, mental malaise and other symptoms in the dog, it needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. The veterinarian will take targeted treatment such as gastric lavage and oxygen inhalation according to the amount of hydrogen peroxide ingested by the dog and its symptoms to ensure the health of the dog.
