Symptoms of Horseradish Ingestion in Dogs:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Excessive salivation
- Burning sensation in the mouth and throat
- Difficulty breathing (if the horseradish obstructs the airway)
Immediate Steps to Take:
1. Contact a Veterinarian:
- Call your veterinarian immediately, as horseradish ingestion can be toxic to dogs. They will advise on further treatment.
2. Remove the Horseradish Source:
- If possible, remove any remaining horseradish from the dog’s reach.
3. Induce Vomiting (ONLY if the veterinarian instructs):
- If the ingestion occurred within the past 2 hours and the veterinarian approves, you may induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide.
- Use 1-2 tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight.
- Administer orally, but do not force it into the dog’s mouth.
4. Monitor the Dog:
- Keep the dog calm and comfortable.
- Monitor breathing, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Treatment at the Veterinary Clinic:
- The veterinarian may administer activated charcoal to absorb the toxin.
- Intravenous fluids may be given to support hydration.
- Anti-inflammatory medication may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Antibiotics may be necessary if there is an infection.
Additional Tips:
- Do not feed the dog anything for several hours after ingestion.
- Offer plenty of fresh water to encourage urination.
- Give the dog a bland diet (boiled chicken and rice) for the next few days.
- Observe the dog closely for any signs of distress or complications.
Prevention:
- Keep horseradish and other toxic substances out of the dog’s reach.
- Train the dog to not eat anything off the ground without your permission.
