My pet was exposed to Drano. When should I see an emergency vet?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. Oh no, that's not good. Because the bleach is in water, it is diluted, which makes it less toxic. She may be fine, but I will give you some thinks you can do for her. First, give her a small bowl of milk. This may help neutralize any bleach present. Then check her mouth, see if you can see any redness in her mouth. If you do, she will need to see a vet. Otherwise, keep an eye on her. If she starts excessively drooling or vomits, have her see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the floor looked dry I am sure she is fine. I do not think she needs to see a vet. If you want to rinse her mouth out well with water as a precaution and wipe her paws well with water to prevent any more possible ingestion that isn't wrong. If she becomes lethargic, drools, won't eat or in anyway appears abnormal then bring her to the Vet. But based on your description I think she will be fine. Maybe have a discussion with your roommate about this so it won't happen again. I hope this helps!

Depending on the dilution, you may see some irritation in and around the mouth as well as vomiting and/or diarrhea. If Nala drank a large quantity, get her to your veterinarian or to the nearest veterinary ER. Either may induce vomiting via injection if indicated. Monitor for lethargy, drooling, pawing at the mouth or GI upset. Symptoms typically develop soon after ingestion.

There was not likely enough of the chemicals in the water at that point to cause any poison problems. It can however cause vomiting and diarrhea over the next few days, so I would monitor for that. I would keep his food and routine the same

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Domestos contains bleach. If it is not ultra concentrated and it was very dilute then the outcome is better. Usually symptoms start with in mins: drooling, red lips, irritation around the mouth, pawing around the mouth and vomiting if a lot is consumed. Bleach is corrosive causing irritation of the gums, esophagus and stomach. If the bleach you use is ultra concentrated then Harley should see a vet immediately. Otherwise if Harley got the bleach on his fur, bathe him in lots of water and mild soap. Rinse his mouth out with lots of water and encourage him to drink water. You can add chicken broth, tuna juice and even try some milk to encourage drinking. If he starts to show symptoms despite the above he should see a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

Ideally, Pepe should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. In addition to the potentially toxic chemicals in the wipe, it may pose a risk of obstruction. Your veterinarian can induce vomiting via injection to get the wipe up and out. This is most successful when done within 2 hours of ingestion. Any longer and the wipe could move out of the stomach. If it blocks, this would be a surgical issue. Pepe may need medication to calm an upset stomach afterwards. A bland diet may also be recommended for a few days.

The concern with these concentrated detergent products (i.e. pods) is not only the possibility of vomiting (which you've already seen) but also the foam that they can potentially create and the risk of aspiration, leading to pneumonia. If you can get Gypsy in to an emergency vet tonight I would recommend it, as an injection of anti-nausea medication (Cerenia) in addition to some GI protectants (famodtidine/Pepcid) may help to really decrease the amount of resulting GI distress you see from this. Also, she could very well experience oral ulcerations from the soap, so monitor for these as well.
