If your Morkie has eaten something poisonous, you’ll want to know how to make your dog vomit, and you’ll also want to know the common dog poisoning symptoms so you can take care of him right away.

Depending on the poison, you have very little time before the toxins take hold. So if you think your Morkie has been poisoned by something he ate, the first rule is ACT FAST — without panicking.

Symptoms of Dog Poisoning

• vomiting
• diarrhea
• seizures
• staggering
• sudden collapse
• sudden and intense drooling
• shaking
• convulsions
• a spike in temperature

If you can’t raise your Vet, call the nearest emergency pet clinic.

Ask if you should get your Morkie to throw up.

Be prepared to get to that clinic at once.

DO MAKE YOUR MORKIE VOMIT IF – 

• he is showing signs of being poisoned, such as staggering and sudden collapse, sudden and intense drooling, vomiting, shaking, convulsions and a spike in temperature
• AND you know he did not eat something corrosive or caustic.
  • Caustic things include the things just listed, such as strong acids, drain cleaner or rat poison.

HOW to make your dog throw pup

Be prepared by assembling the following:

• a fresh bottle of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, available at any drugstore
• measuring spoons
• a small bowl for mixing
• a turkey baster or an eyedropper
• these instructions printed out
• your Veterinarian’s name and phone number
• the number for your local animal poison control centre, also printed out

Also keep a small bottle of olive oil in the kit, to give in case your dog has swallowed something corrosive

Let everyone in the family know where this kit is, and if you take your dog away with you on vacation or to the cottage, make up a second kit or be sure to take one from home. And remember, prevention is many times more effective – and easier – than treatment!
