The length of time it takes for a dog to be poisoned depends on the poison and toxin the dog ingested as well as the dogs size.
However on average it takes between as little as a few hours to as long as a few days for the dog to be poisoned.
The average time for a dog to begin showing signs of poisoning is usually between three to four days.
However, this varies between breeds and depends heavily on the type of toxin involved.
The severity of symptoms of dog poisoning depends mainly on the kind of toxin involved and the quantity that entered the dog's body.
It is worth mentioning that some poisoning symptoms in dogs will show up right away, whereas others might take a few hours after ingestion before they appear.
Typically, mild cases of poisoning have high recovery rates.
In severe poisoning cases or cases where treatment was delayed the chance of recovery is extremely low.
When pets do recover from severe poisoning there can also be long-term damage to their overall health.
Signs and symptoms of poisoning in dogs include.
Agitation.
Tremors.
Convulsions.
Nausea and/or vomiting.
Seizures.
Heart problems.
Diarrhea.
Kidney failure.
If you think your dog has been poisoned you should get the dog to the vet as soon as possible.
The sooner the dog gets treatment the better off they will be and the higher chance of survival from the poisoning.
