Emergency vets are everywhere. A simple Google search will come up with them, even in a sparse area. |

The person with the dog said that in their time zone it’s too late that their vets are closed. So what do we recommend from that |

yeah there are certainly some illnesses that can be treated at home but toxin ingestion is not one of them lol |

I second the going to the Vet for this one. They'll know for sure what to do. |

pesticide ingestion can cause vomit and diarrhea, if it’s causing the dogs to shake i’d be worried about further poisoning that vomiting will not help. pesticides can also cause acute kidney injuries. if it’s been longer than 2 hours, making the dogs vomit won’t really do much for what has already been ingested. follow up blood work at a vet may be needed to monitor kidney function along with some fluids to help flush the systems |

A vet is the best way to go. Doing things on your own isn't the way to go. Inducing vomiting in an already lethargic dog isn't going to be good. Put a call into your vet and talk to them on whether you need to bring the dog to their office or not. |

i would also try to get ahold of poison control. they can give you advice as well as a case number that you should pass along to your vets |

Vixen From what I gathered we are looking at a case of a dog eating grass covered in pesticides. Symptoms are lethargic shaking and stomach making noises, 2 other dogs also ate this grass without any symptoms of their own. At least that’s what I’ve gathered, if I’m wrong Key please elaborate further so we can assist the best we can. |

if your dog ingested pesticides you need to get them to a vet. inducing vomiting will not prevent their GI tract from absorbing the pesticides |

as a vet tech, be careful with peroxide as it can cause gastric ulcers. best route for vomiting is apomorphine at a vet clinic. there’s also the risk for aspiration pneumonia when making them vomit. |

Hydrogen peroxide Giving your dog 3 percent hydrogen peroxide is an effective and safe way to make it throw up whatever item it swallowed. Give one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide for every 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) of body weight. |
