Here's why:
* Dog urine can contain bacteria and pathogens: These can cause serious illnesses in infants, especially those who are so young and have developing immune systems.
* Ammonia in urine is toxic: Inhaling ammonia can irritate the respiratory system and cause breathing difficulties.
* Infants are very vulnerable: Their lungs and immune systems are still developing, making them more susceptible to infections and complications.
Please seek professional medical help right away. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Here are some additional things you can do:
* Thoroughly clean the area where the urine was: Use a pet-safe disinfectant and ensure the area is completely dry before your baby is near it.
* Wash your baby's clothes and bedding: Even if you don't see urine on them, it's best to wash them to remove any lingering residue.
* Monitor your baby closely: Watch for any signs of illness, such as fever, cough, sneezing, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
Don't hesitate to contact your pediatrician or a poison control center if you have any concerns.
