Hydrogen Peroxide Vomiting in Dogs

On dogs vomiting due to hydrogen peroxide
If a dog accidentally eats a foreign body and wants to make it vomit to expel it, hydrogen peroxide is often a method. The use of hydrogen peroxide requires caution, which is related to the health of the dog.

Hydrogen peroxide has its specific effect in causing dogs to vomit. When a dog accidentally swallows uncomfortable objects, such as small toys, fabric fragments, etc., in some cases, an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide can trigger the vomiting reflex and help the dog expel foreign bodies.

But when applying, many key points must be made clear. First, the concentration is critical. The commonly used concentration is 3%. Excessive concentration can easily cause burns in the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract, and damage the dog's mucosal tissues. Second, the dosage is accurate. The dosage is determined according to the weight of the dog. Generally speaking, about one teaspoon is used for every five pounds of body weight. It must not be increased or decreased at will to prevent adverse consequences due to improper dosage.

When applying, hydrogen peroxide can be slowly injected into the side of the dog's mouth with a syringe to avoid directly spraying the throat and causing it to choke. After the note, gently stroke the dog's abdomen to help its gastrointestinal peristalsis to promote vomiting.

However, this method is not suitable for all foreign body swallowing. If the dog swallows corrosive substances, sharp sharp instruments, or foreign bodies have caused intestinal obstruction, etc., using hydrogen peroxide to promote vomiting is not beneficial, but increases the danger, or causes the displacement of foreign bodies and aggravates tissue damage.

In summary, the use of hydrogen peroxide to make dogs vomit is a strategy to deal with dogs swallowing foreign bodies. However, the situation should be carefully inspected before use, and a veterinarian should be consulted if necessary to ensure safety, effectiveness, and the well-being of the dog.
