My dog sniffed Sevin dust. What poisoning signs should I watch for?

Signs of potential toxicity in pets can include drooling, shaking, tremors, seizure, coma, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, changes to the pupils and more. Contact issues with pesticides can include issues such as redness, itching, or swelling at the site of contact. If you suspect Emma may have come into contact with these materials, you can use a washcloth or pet wipe to gently wipe down her paws and belly to remove any possible contact on them. If you suspect toxicity or see symptoms of illness, seeking veterinary care is best.

Sevin dust contains a carbamate and can be toxic to pets. It should not be applied topically. Your kitty should be bathed with dawn dish soap to remove any residue and should see a vet right away for treatment.

If Smokey only smelled the cleaning solution wouldn't be too concerned but you may want to take him outside to a well ventilated area to get some fresh air. If he drank any of the water I would watch for regurgitation, vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite. If any of those things occur you should have Smokey examined by a veterinarian right away.

In general, most over the counter pesticides when dry, will not harm pets. The most common signs seen will be some transient vomiting, possible drooling, and possibly diarrhea when ingested in small amounts. Obviously there are many different kinds of pesticides available and the signs associated with them can vary greatly. The label on the original container for the pesticide should have a phone number to contact incase of concerns and more specific guidance may be found there. Ingestion of dead spiders is not likely to lead to any significant illness. As your dog is reportedly fine, it is unlikely you will see any problems at this time. Of course, if you notice your dog acting ill, please seek veterinary attention.

If your dog eats some grass that had fertilizer applied to it, it rarely leads to serious poisoning; that said, more serious signs can be seen when the product is directly ingested (i.e., right out of the bag). If ingested directly from the bag, the results can include tremors and seizures. The most important thing is to make sure it’s not a fertilizer that has more dangerous products in it – some may contain iron, which can result in iron poisoning, and less common types may contain very dangerous insecticides such as carbamates or organophosphates. Thankfully, the EPA has limited the availability of these latter, more dangerous types of products. Carbamates and organophosphates can result in more serious, life-threatening clinical signs such as, drooling, vomiting, severe lethargy/collapse, diarrhea, excessive tearing, urination, abnormal heart rates, difficulty breathing (due to bronchoconstriction), tremors, seizures and death. If you suspect that your dog may have been exposed to something poisonous, contact your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian immediately. When in doubt, call ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. They may be able to instruct you on how to induce vomiting and whether or not there is a poisoning risk.

Hi, from your description if the events I also think your dog should be fine. However I would keep an eye on him over the next 8-12 hours, make sure he is eating, drinking and not having any different symptoms when breathing.

Had should be okay, you may notice he starts to salivate quite a bit, but it doesnt sound like he ate too much. Keep an eye for signs of an upset tummy and if he seems very poorly take him to the vet.
