Food Poisoning

General information on Food Poisoning

Food poisoning is common, as dogs are known to scavenge and come into contact with decomposing foods, carrion, animal manure and other noxious substances.

Symptoms of Food Poisoning

The symptoms of food poisoning begin with vomiting and pain in the abdomen. They are followed in severe cases by diarrhea (often bloody) in two to six hours. If the problem is complicated by bacterial infection, shock may develop. Mild cases recover in a day or two.
