sometimes it will not happen fast, give it 3 min or so, after 5 give another dose 1 tablespoon.

*They should not throw up immediately, it should take up to 15-20 minutes, if they don't throw up it's safe to give them one more dose (1 tsp per ten pounds of body fat). If they are still not throwing up, take them to the vet.

It will probably start belching but it should do no serious harm.

Hydrogen peroxide doesn't work in about one third of dogs and most vets no longer recommend trying it to get a dog to vomit up something.

Is it OK to use hydrogen peroxide to rub on a cat's gums for inflammation?

No, it is not OK to use hydrogen peroxide to rub on a cat's gums for inflammation because it is too harsh a product. There is also the risk that the cat will swallow the hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should never be used on: mucus membranes, open wounds, or internally. This applies to anyone or any animal. It kills cells on contact.


I think my dog has kennel cough and I have heard you can fix it with food grade hydrogen peroxide in his water Is this true?

I don't think so. Peroxide will make your dog vomit and can make him ill. NO PEROXIDE!!!!!!!!


Where in Liverpool can you buy hydrogen peroxide?

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (in the US, the proper medical concentration) is not a controlled substance and should be available from any drug store/chemist, for very little money. The formula is H2O2. Note that industrial concentrations are dangerous -- no more than 3% H2O2 to H2O.


What will happen if you give hydrogen peroxide to a cat and it does not vomit?

Generally, cats are only given hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting if they have eaten something poisonous. If this is the reason you gave it to your cat, you need to take your cat to a veterinarian right away. The hydrogen peroxide may have gotten the cat to vomit and therefore taken care of any immediate danger, but there could still be some poison in the cat's system, or even other damage depending on what it ate. Also, hydrogen peroxide is given to cats in very small amounts. You would need to put it in a lot of water to be safe for your pet. If you accidentally gave your cat too much, this could be just as dangerous as poison. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, and can cause damage to membranes in an animal's stomach, resulting in internal bleeding. It can also cause blistering, stomach pain, diarrhea, and further vomiting. If this is the case, your cat still needs taken to a veterinarian promptly.To summarize, if your cat is still showing symptoms of any kind after this, it needs to be taken to a veterinarian. This should be done any time a cat ingests something toxic, if that is why you gave it the hydrogen peroxide. If it is not the reason, and your cat is still showing symptoms, it is most likely caused by the hydrogen peroxide itself. Either situation is dangerous for your cat, and it needs immediate care.
