Symptoms of Nicotine Poisoning in Pets
Signs begin as quickly as one hour post-ingestion. Symptoms include:
Tremors
Auditory and visual hallucinations
Excitement
Vomiting and diarrhea
Twitching possibly progressing to seizures
Racing heart rate but slow heart rate with small doses
High blood pressure but at higher doses there is a circulatory collapse
It is easy to confuse nicotine poisoning with other poisonings such as strychnine, chocolate, organophosphate insecticide, and certain molds. Hopefully, there will be cigarette materials in the vomit to give away the diagnosis.
When Nita firts came I caught her playing with a cigarette and she had started to chew the filter, I didnīt know that it was poisonous, but since then I have kept thim in a place where they canīt get to them. |
