Signs of nicotine poisoning are: rapid breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and cardiac arrest. If you suspect that your pet has eaten a cigarette, call your veterinarian immediately--this could be a matter of life and death.
GET TO A VET NOW! |
Oh my God! Im in tears right now! Thanks for the info! The only sign that she has is the vomiting and she just did it again A LOT with black in it. I dont think she actually ATE a cigarette but I know she Licked the ashes! Thanks again so much....my poor little Bella is ALWAYS getting into something, and I am so careful, its the other people around here that DONT listen to me when I tell them to either keep the chairs pushed in or shut the door or dont leave ANYTHING low where Bella can get it! Im so upset right now.....going to try to find an emergency vet but I dont think there are any around....I'll keep you posted...please pray for Bella and wish us luck....
