Dog Hydrogen Peroxide Vomiting

Analysis of dogs not vomiting after taking hydrogen peroxide
There are many modern dog feeders who have encountered dogs accidentally eating foreign bodies or poisons. People often think of using hydrogen peroxide to induce dogs to vomit and expel the contents of the stomach to avoid serious trouble. However, dogs do not vomit after taking hydrogen peroxide. The reasons for this can be investigated as follows.

Hydrogen peroxide causes dogs to vomit. The reason is that hydrogen peroxide enters the stomach. When it encounters gastric acid and enzymes in the stomach, it decomposes and releases oxygen, causing gas in the stomach to fill up, stimulating the receptors in the stomach wall, sending nerve impulses to the vomiting center, triggering the vomiting reflex. However, dogs do not vomit after taking hydrogen peroxide, or because of the following numbers.

First, the amount of hydrogen peroxide is improper. If the dosage is too small, the oxygen release is insufficient, and it is difficult to reach the threshold to stimulate vomiting, it will naturally not vomit. However, if the dosage is too much, it may burn the dog's mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa, which will increase the harm. About 5 to 10 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide is required per kilogram of body weight. The specific dosage should be determined according to the dog's weight, health status and wrong food conditions.

Second, individual differences in dogs. Different dog breeds, ages, and constitutions respond differently to hydrogen peroxide. Puppies, old dogs, or people with weak constitution may have lower vomiting reflex sensitivity than healthy dogs in prime age. And if dogs have suffered from gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal function is damaged, it may also affect the normal operation of vomiting reflex.

Third, things eaten by mistake. If the dog accidentally eats something that is easily soluble in water or can be decomposed by gastric acid, the effect of hydrogen peroxide may not be significant. Such as accidentally eating sugars, some plant fibers, etc., it is gradually digested in the stomach, and nothing stimulates the stomach wall to cause vomiting. Or accidentally eating something sticky, adheres to the stomach wall, and hydrogen peroxide is difficult to fully function and does not vomit.

Fourth, the method of administration. If the administration is too slow, the hydrogen peroxide stays in the mouth and esophagus for too long, partially decomposes, and the effective concentration is reduced when entering the stomach. If it is directly injected, the dog is not allowed to swallow naturally, which is easy to cause it to choke and cough, affecting normal swallowing and gastric reactions, and can make the dog not vomit after taking hydrogen peroxide.

If the dog does not vomit after taking hydrogen peroxide, the owner should check it immediately. If it is a dosage or dosing problem, it can be adjusted under the guidance of a veterinarian. If it is special due to individual differences or accidental ingestion, the dog should be brought to the doctor immediately. Veterinarians can use X-rays, B-ultrasound and other means to clarify the internal situation of the stomach, and use methods such as vomiting and gastric lavage to help the dog excrete foreign bodies or poisons to ensure its health.
