| Help Please!!!! Hi everyone........I think Bella ate some cigarette and cigar ashes! My daughters boyfriend left the ashtray in the screen house on a low table and I think Bella may have gotten into it!! She threw up 2 to 3 times and the first one had a little "black" in it! I then noticed the ashtray outside Does anyone know how toxic this is? She is being very mopey and mooooshaaaaad, and Im very worried. The vet is not open right now but if she continues to feel poorly I am definately bringing her first thing in the morning unless someone thinks that this is an emergency! Thanks in advance for your replies. Tami

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I thought it was dangerous but here's some info: Did you also know that the average cat or dog could die after eating one to five cigarettes? Swallowing a cigarette is so dangerous that it could take no more than a few minutes to kill your pet! 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! |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Good luck. Praying for you both. Try to get her to throw up. Another site that after four hours, the worst should have passed. DON'T give antacids as that will encourage her system to absorb the nicotine. DEFINITELY keep us updated. i'm concerned! |
