Slug poison intoxication in dogs
Slug poison intoxication in dogs can be a life threatening condition. Dogs who scavenge may be at a higher risk of eating something they shouldn’t. Treatment requires prompt identification of the cause and hospitalisation for several days.
Slug poison intoxication in dogs can develop quickly if they ingest a product containing metaldehyde. It can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, tremours and seizures. Ferrous oxide containing products require a large amount to be ingested for symptoms to develop. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, collapse and liver failure. Long-term problems may develop as a consequence of intoxication. If you suspect your dog may have eaten slug poison, take them to see a vet immediately.
