I'm so sorry to hear about your dog ingesting rat poison. It's understandable to be concerned, and I'm here to help guide you through this.
Bromethalin is a type of rat poison that affects the nervous system and can create serious issues for dogs. Typically, symptoms might start to appear anywhere from 2 to 24 hours after ingestion and can include tremors, seizures, weakness, and unsteady walking.
Since it's already been a day, it's crucial to monitor your dog closely. At home, watch for any new or worsening signs like lethargy, wobbliness, or spasms. Ensuring your dog stays hydrated and calm can help, but it's vital they get professional care.
If your dog hasn't seen a vet yet, I strongly urge you to do so immediately; time is of the essence. Dogs sometimes don't show symptoms right away, and a vet can help prevent or mitigate damage with specific treatments.
Please book a video consult with Dial A Vet as soon as possible. Our team can provide personalized advice, assess your dog's condition, and advise you on the next steps to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
