What is Benidium?
Benidium is a broad-spectrum herbicide used to control weeds. It is toxic to both plants and animals, including dogs.
Symptoms of Benidium Poisoning in Dogs:
- Excessive salivation
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Respiratory distress
- Tremors
- Seizures
What to Do if Your Dog Eats Benidium:
1. Call Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Time is of the essence in treating benidium poisoning. Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
2. Remove Your Dog from the Source:
If possible, remove your dog from the area where they ingested the benidium. This will prevent further exposure.
3. Do Not Induce Vomiting:
Inducing vomiting is not recommended as it can worsen the absorption of the herbicide.
4. Give Your Dog Activated Charcoal:
Activated charcoal can bind to the herbicide and reduce its absorption. Follow the instructions on the activated charcoal label for the appropriate dosage.
5. Monitor Your Dog Closely:
Watch your dog for any signs of poisoning and contact your veterinarian immediately if they worsen.
6. Follow Your Veterinarian’s Instructions:
Your veterinarian will likely recommend additional treatment, which may include:
- Intravenous fluids to rehydrate your dog
- Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea
- Antibiotics to prevent infections
Prognosis:
The prognosis for benidium poisoning depends on the amount ingested and the promptness of treatment. If treatment is initiated early, most dogs make a full recovery. However, severe cases can be fatal.
Prevention:
- Keep all herbicides out of reach of pets.
- Read and follow the label instructions carefully on herbicide containers.
- Apply herbicides only in areas where pets will not be exposed.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested a herbicide, contact your veterinarian immediately.
