My dog ate rat poison!
Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 2 Oct 2019
In this video we discuss what to do if your pet ingests rat or mouse poison (rodenticide). We also discuss the environmental impact of rodenticide, and its harmful effects on wildlife. Finally, we include resources on who to call if your pet has been poisoned, how to induce vomiting at home in dogs using hydrogen peroxide (please also watch Dr. Justine Lee's video on this), and the recommendations from the BCSPCA on humane rodent control (traps).
