Dogs, according to psychologists, are the best cure for stress during a war. However, they are very inquisitive animals. They try on the tooth all unfamiliar objects. Therefore, the owner must know how to induce vomiting in a puppy and an adult dog. Such skills could save the life of a pet that swallowed medicine, poisonous pest bait or other toxic substance, she said. veterinarian-therapist Maria Kudrya.
“If the dog swallowed a small object without sharp corners, it is better not to disturb him, – explains the specialist. – A coin or a detail of the designer will come out of the intestines within a day. Vomiting is necessary when eating such toxic substances: medicine from the owner’s first aid kit; means for combating rodents, insects; toxic building materials; antifreeze.
At the same time, artificial vomiting will only worsen the condition of the pet, if it has convulsions, consciousness has turned off. Sharp objects and acids when leaving the oral cavity will increase the damage to the mucous tissue.
Vomiting is useless for non-food poisoning (through the skin or lungs), as well as two hours after swallowing a toxic object. In these cases, you need to urgently take the dog to the veterinarian.
You can induce vomiting in an inquisitive pet with a solution of potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide and water.

Remember, the liquid should be a pale pink color with no floating potassium permanganate crystals. Otherwise, you can burn the walls of the esophagus and stomach. Pour 500 ml of liquid into the mouth of puppies, and 2 liters for adult dogs.
Forced pouring into the throat of a large volume of clean drinking water causes vomiting. It is enough for a puppy to drink 500 ml of liquid, for an adult dog it is necessary to give up to three liters of water. It is more convenient to perform such actions with an assistant who will keep the pet.”
