| ![]() In Germany, where my son was born, they had a disinfecting system for the baby bottles that smelled exactly like clorox bleach. In fact, it was a mixture of bleach and water, and you soaked the bottles in it and then filled the bottles with formula without rinsing the disinfecting liquid off the bottles. I fed my son with these bottles all through his baby-hood. It didn't hurt him a bit. So my guess is that the bleach mixed with water won't hurt your pup. You should consider getting insurance for your pup. It's not that expensive for the standard plan: around $12 a month. You could easily afford it. And that way your mom won't feel like she's going to be paying the whole bill every time something happens. They usually reimburse around 40% to 50% of the bill. We have VIP insurance for our dog and cat. |

| ![]() This is what I found on a first aid site regarding ingesting.... Ingested Poisons An ingested poison is one that is introduced into the digestive tract by way of mouth. Clues To A Poisoning: Overturned or empty pill box Scattered pills Chemical containers Household cleaners Empty alcohol bottles Over turned plants Presentation: ]History of ingesting poisons Burns around the mouth Odd breath odors Nausea, vomiting Saliva or foaming at the mouth Abdominal pain Diarrhea Altered mental status Unresponsive Emergency Care: Call for medical help! Your top priority is the victim's airway. Check the victim's ABCs, proceed accordingly; DRABC of resuscitation in adults OR DRABC of resuscitation in babies and young children Give first aid for seizures. You may be instructed to give activated charcoal till medical help arrives. This is a finely ground charcoal that is very absorbent. It binds with the poisons in the stomach and then passes through the body harmlessly. It may be effective in reducing poisons for up to four hours after ingestion. Most activated charcoal is mixed with water. If it is dry, then you must mix two tablespoons of it in a glass of water. Never Induce Vomiting If The Victim: Is unresponsive, Cannot maintain an airway, Has ingested an acid, a corrosive, or a petroleum product, Has a medical condition that could be complicated by vomiting, such as heart attack, seizures, and pregnancy Obviously the amount of charcoal to give would be much less for a little pup - but I would at least do that if you know he drank some of it. This same stuff applies to both children and adults as well as pets. Hope this helps.

| ![]() Sorry but I have to say this; WHY do people get animals when the $$ becomes an issue when they need vet care. Pets do not vet themselves, groom themselves or feed themselves. Makes no sense. I hope this little one is alright. Elaine. |

| ![]() Your original post also said that Lysol was mixed in with the water and bleach. Lysol is considered a toxic cleaning substance. Check the label and see what the active ingredient it. This is also important information to give if you call poison control. Make sure you also tell them the weight of your pup. Most people don't understand just how small and fragile our babies can be and they can go down quickly. These are not like other dogs - particularly larger breeds.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | ![]() Was he drinking water out of a bicket or a little left on the floor? I would take him to the vet it would be cheaper to prevent his death then to lose him and buy another one, Can you pay your Mom back for the visit. I hope he will be ok.
