What do you do for your dog who just ate dish detergent?

Answer 1

Usually a dog eating soap is not too serious. Just watch the dog and look for signs of distress. If any are seen, take the dog to the vet. Usually the dog will just get a mild upset tummy.

Answer 2

Flush the dogs eye with clean water and leave it alone to avoid further irritation then watch carfefully and if there are no symptoms the dog is fine, if there are symptoms such as discharge later then take the dog to the vet or at the least get it some opthimalgic antibiotic ointment (Oinment for eye infectins purchased at a feed or pet store) if it does not improve vet care is needed to prevent loss of eye or death due to infection.

Answer 3

Go to the veterinarian and get the dog checked!!

After eating soap your dog may start vomiting (complete with soap bubbles) and possibly develop diarrhea. I don't think your dog will be harmed too much, but if it's persistent vomiting and diarrhea it could cause dehydration, so a trip to the vet is probably the thing to do.

Answer 4

If this is a small amount of soap then the dog should not be harmed but if it is a large amount the dog may become sick.

Answer 5

I do believe it can die but it can get very sick.

Answer 6

It is likely it didn't eat very much. Dogs do eat their own vommit but they probably don't care for the taste of dish soap, if it has issues take it to the local vet, but you should be fine.

Answer 7

Probably not, but they may end up sick for a while with a bout of diarrhea also.

Answer 8

Ring the vet and seek advice.
