Ortho Chiffon: A Dangerous Substance for Dogs
Ortho Chiffon is an herbicide used to control weeds in lawns. It contains a chemical called fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, which is toxic to dogs. Ingesting Ortho Chiffon can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Gastrointestinal distress (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Salivation
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory problems
- Death
What to Do if Your Dog Ate Ortho Chiffon:
1. Stay Calm and Contact Your Veterinarian:
Call your veterinarian immediately. They can provide guidance and instructions on what to do next.
2. Induce Vomiting (Only If Directed by Your Veterinarian):
If your veterinarian instructs you to do so, induce vomiting by giving your dog 1-2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide per 5 pounds of body weight. Wait 10-15 minutes. If your dog does not vomit, do not repeat the dose.
3. Activated Charcoal:
Your veterinarian may recommend giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb the poison from its system.
4. Hospitalization:
In severe cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for monitoring and treatment. This may include intravenous fluids, medications, and blood transfusions.
5. Monitor Your Dog Closely:
Even if your dog does not show immediate symptoms, monitor its condition closely for the next 24 hours. Contact your veterinarian if any symptoms develop.
Prevention:
- Keep all lawn care chemicals, including Ortho Chiffon, out of reach of pets.
- Supervise your dog when it is outdoors.
- If you suspect your dog has eaten something toxic, contact your veterinarian immediately.
