Capsaicin is the compound that gives chili peppers their spicy flavor. It can be irritating to the digestive tract and can cause a number of health problems in dogs. In severe cases, capsaicin poisoning can be fatal.
Treatment for capsaicin poisoning in dogs typically involves supportive care, such as:
- IV fluids to prevent dehydration
- Anti-nausea medication to stop vomiting
- Pain medication to relieve abdominal pain
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove any damaged tissue from the digestive tract.
Prevention is the best way to protect your dog from capsaicin poisoning. Keep chili peppers and other spicy foods out of reach of your dog. If you are cooking with chili peppers, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling your dog.
