Dog
Dangerous
Described signs
Heavy drooling, vocalising, vomiting, painful swallowing and severe ulcers in the mouth, throat and oesophagus, with belly pain and low energy. A loose tablet on the floor or in the maintenance bucket is the typical scenario: odd smell, toy-sized and within reach.
Cat
Dangerous
Described signs
Heavy drooling, vomiting, painful swallowing and severe ulcers in the mouth, throat and oesophagus, with low energy and refusing food. If they step in the granules or powder, grooming takes it to their mouth and it burns the paw pads too.
