Hydrogen Peroxide Toxicity in Dogs
Discussion on Hydrogen Peroxide Poisoning in Dogs
Hydrogen peroxide has a critical impact on the health of dogs. If a dog accidentally ingests hydrogen peroxide, its stomach will swell rapidly due to the oxygen produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, causing vomiting. Moderate use can help dogs spit out things they ate by mistake, but if the dosage is not properly controlled, it will be extremely harmful.
Excessive intake of hydrogen peroxide can cause dogs to show many symptoms of poisoning. Light cases may have salivation, retching, etc.; severe cases may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or even breathing difficulties due to severe stomach discomfort. Because of its decomposition products, it may cause corrosion to the respiratory tract and digestive tract mucosa of dogs, resulting in mucosal damage and affecting normal physiological functions.
If the dog detects that the dog has ingested hydrogen peroxide, the owner must take immediate action. For mild ingestion, you can try to dilute the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the stomach by drinking a small amount of water multiple times to promote its excretion as soon as possible. In serious cases, you must be sent to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Veterinarians usually use gastric lavage to completely remove hydrogen peroxide from the stomach according to the dog's symptoms, ingestion time and dose, or to give drugs to relieve the symptoms of poisoning and repair damaged tissues.
When dog owners are raising dogs on weekdays, they should properly keep items containing hydrogen peroxide and keep them out of the dog's reach. Carefully check the dog's activity area to avoid contact with such potentially dangerous substances, prevent hydrogen peroxide poisoning from happening at the source, and make every effort to protect the dog's health and safety.
