My 9-month-old puppy ate ant poison and is vomiting. Should I worry?

Dentrathin poisoning causes mainly the symptoms you are describing, i strongly recommend taking him right away to the vet in order to get an anti vomiting injection as well as fluid therapy to flush the poison from his system.

Without knowing if she ate the ants or what kind she ate, it would be hard to say. Most ants that crawl around on food tend not to be toxic, but some can sting or have toxic bites, and if she immediately threw up after, she likely purged them. However if you know the type of ant she ingested, you can contact The Pet Poison Helpline here: (there is a fee for this service) for more information -- https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ You can pick up her food and offer boiled rice and chicken for a meal to help settle her stomach if she seems otherwise OK now. If she continues to vomit, or shows other signs of illness such as extreme lethargy, pale gums or tongue, staggering or confusion, drooling, bloody diarrhea or vomiting, etc, then these are all signs of possible toxicity which should be seen by a veterinarian immediately.

Please call the Pet poison control number for advice: 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center 855-764-7661 $59 USD per incident fee applies Please have the label of the ant granules or the container they came in available and ready when on the phone. The Poison Control center will assess the situation with you on the phone and will be able to advise you properly.

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.

This is an emergency. If you suspect a pesticide you should call the pet poison control helpline. Otherwise, when I see older animals present this way through the ER I am very worried about abdominal bleeding from a tumor. I would not wait. He should be see by a vet ASAP.

Borax can be toxic to dogs if enough is ingested. It would be best to contact your vet or an ER clinic ASAP if he ate some. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline (there is a fee for this service) at https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ if you know how much he ate to see if it was a toxic amount that requires monitoring or immediate care. If you don't know the amount, seeking care in person ASAP is best.

Marley will likely be fine now. I suggest you take her to your veterinarian for a coagulation panel in about 7 days, just in case some of the anticoagulant in the poison (if this was the anticoagulant type) dis get absorbed. Watch for signs of illness (neurological such as seizures, or increased thirst...there are a few other types of rat poison which can cause this) and if these occur, please take your dog to the vet. Apart from that, if all the poison was regurgitated within a relatively short time after ingestion, your dog should be fine.
