My dog ate roach tablets and is throwing up. Does he need a vet?

Luckily roach bait traps aren't very toxic to dogs, but eating the plastic would cause Lilly Mae stomach upset, leading to the vomiting. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Retching and coughing is usually caused by throat irritation, wound or scratch in the throat, upper airways infection, insect bite or sting, rarely by a tracheal foreign body. Most of the roach baits are not very toxic to dogs, but to confirm that we would need to know the brand name of the product Rex may have eaten. A visit at your local vets is recommended to confirm that the roach bait is not dangerous to dogs, find the cause Rex is gagging and to provide treatment as required.

She will likely be just fine. A small amount of raid left on a roach isn't going to cause any serious issues for your pet. At the very least she may have an upset stomach. In which case you can feed her a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days, and then slowly transition her back to her normal diet. If she doesn't seem to be recovering from the stomach upset as expected after 12-24 hrs, then its best to just haver her checked by your vet and given some supportive treatment to help her stomach settle quicker. Otherwise she should recover well and likely vomited up most of the irritant. Best wishes with your pet Leia moving forward. Take care.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Pug is eating, acting normally, urinating, and defecating normally, there is little cause for concern. Just a like humans, dogs sometimes vomit a couple times (for many reasons) and then are completely fine. If the vomiting recurrs or you see other concerning signs like loss of appetite, extreme lethargy, or anything else That concerns you, head in to the vet to figure out what’s going on. Best of luck to you and Pug!

The vomiting is expected, but I'm surprised by the drop of blood, because this is not expected with Boric acid ingestion. It actually may be unrelated and is more likely due to some other issue causing inflammation in the rectum or anus. Boric acid does not cause any other toxicity, besides gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting and diarrhea), so I wouldn't expect him to have worsening signs of illness. I would recommend taking him to the vet if he has any of the following: 1) Vomiting for more than 24 hours 2) Very watery diarrhea 3) Starts acting very depressed 4) Stops eating or drinking for longer than 24 hours. 5) Diarrhea lasts longer than three days. 6) There continues to be blood in the stool after 24 hours. Unfortunately, there is nothing else that can be done at home for this besides ensuring he has plenty of water. I hope that helps and Mr. B gets better soon.

Fortunately this poison is not very poisonous for dogs but if he licked it he could suffer from vomiting, lack of appetite or diarrhea for a few days. if the symptoms are quite severe you will have to take him to the vet in order to get it treated.

The roachbait is not toxic to dogs. The only problem dogs have with the bait is the bait box if they swallow it. It could cause an intestinal obstruction or blockage. So, if Gretchen did not eat the baitstation/box, she should be alright. Seems like roach bait smells goooood to dogs, too!
