What happens when a large dog ingest cholrine?

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide medical advice. It's crucial to seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your dog has ingested chlorine.

Here's why it's dangerous and what to do:

* Chlorine is a powerful irritant: It can cause severe burns and damage to the mouth, throat, stomach, and lungs.

* The severity depends on the amount ingested: Even small amounts can be dangerous.

* Symptoms can include: Vomiting, coughing, difficulty breathing, drooling, and pawing at the mouth.

If you suspect your dog has ingested chlorine, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately (1-888-426-4435). They can provide specific guidance based on the situation and your dog's health.

Do not induce vomiting unless specifically instructed by a veterinarian. In some cases, it can worsen the situation.

Prevention is key:

* Keep chlorine products securely out of reach of pets.

* Use pet-safe cleaning products whenever possible.

* If you must use chlorine, ensure proper ventilation and never leave it unattended.

Remember, a veterinarian is the best source of information for your dog's health.
