My dog ate a paper towel with diluted bleach. What should I do?

This should be ok. The paper towel should pass without problem, and at most, you may see some stomach upset from Max from the antibacterial cleaner. As long as it doesn't contain bleach, he should be fine. If the antibacterial cleaner contains bleach, then yes, have him seen by a vet now.

Hello. If the bleach was pretty diluted in the water, then I would not be too concerned. Feed Mila 1-2 slices of white bread & this should dilute whatever is in the stomach further. I would not worry unless she should vomit more than 1 time or her appetite is off for more than 24 hours, but she should be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

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!

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.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bleach can severely irritate the gastrointestinal system even causing a chemical burn depending on the product used. While there is not an antidote, there are medications that can help with the symptoms that are simply not over the counter. For that reason, it is recommended that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to examine him, gather more information and decide how to treat him next. I am hoping for a speedy recovery!

Oh no, that's not good that Tigger may have drank diluted bleach! Enough bleach can cause vomiting, and mouth, throat, and stomach irritation. Rinse his mouth out with water right away, but do not induce vomiting. That can make the situation worse. Encourage plenty of water intake, soaking his food in tuna juice or gently warmed low sodium beef or chicken broth to get more fluids into him If you do see any abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, or irritation in his mouth, I would have him seen by a vet right away.

You did just fine providing the treatment you did . In the future I just recommend you refrain from using milk - dogs really can't process milk well and some will get an upset stomach and/or diarrhea from it. I highly doubt they ingested the bleach but if you are worried you should take them to a vet for an exam. You know them best so if you are worried you should have them seen.
