Guidelines for Emergency Action in the event of Poisoning



1. Induce Vomiting. This can be done by administering Charcoal Tablets (named Eucarbon Tablet in local Pharmacy) or by strong salted water, Do not give liquids other than to induce vomiting.



2. Immobilise animal. Carry animal, do not try to make it walk. Do not panic as this can stress the animal and make it go into shock.



3. Telephone to seek veterinary help and get the animal to the vet as quickly as possible.





Symptoms: Foaming at the mouth, body trembling like movement under the skin, spasms, weakness and diarrhoea.



Remember: Always carry your mobile phone with you when walking your dog and make sure that you have all veterinary telephone numbers entered into your phone.

Avoid areas that have been reported as previously know for poison being put down.

It is advisable to muzzle your dog whilst exercising your dog and it is running loose.

If you find anything that looks suspicious like poisoned meat carefully pick it up and report find to KAR.

If your animal picks up poisoned meat return to area as soon as possible and pick up any remains of the poison. Report incident to KAR, Police and local Belediyre or Muhktar.
