Fertilizer Poisoning In Dogs

 

Dogs can get poisoned when they get in contact with fertilizers. The effect of fertilizer poisoning varies from mild up to severe. The length of contact with the fertilizer and the manner of poisoning will determine if there will be complications afterward. Some of the complications from the fertilizer could be a stomach ache, severe poisoning, and oral burns.

If the dog accidentally consumed poisonous items, they have eaten something toxic. Compounds found in the fertilizer like phosphorus, nitrogen, and iron are harmful when the dog eats a lot.

Fertilizers are indeed helpful in improving plants. But they can be harmful when the pets consume them or when they get in contact with the skin or mucous membranes. In some instances, the additional ingredients in the fertilizers are more harmful than the fertilizer itself.

Aside from breathing difficulties and vomiting, ingesting fertilizers can lead to skin burns and gastrointestinal ulceration.

If your dog has eaten any type of fertilizer, you should call your animal hospital Marietta, GA so you will be instructed on what to do.
