Dog poisoning: remedies with salt water

Salt water cannot detoxify poisons, and giving a dog large amounts of salt water can even lead to salt poisoning. Generally, dogs absorb toxins through oral ingestion or skin contact. If the poisoning is through oral ingestion, the first step should be to induce vomiting. If the vomiting is discovered late, the effectiveness of induced vomiting decreases, and emergency medical treatment should be sought. If the poisoning is through skin contact, the first step should be to rinse the skin with a large amount of clean water to minimize absorption of the toxin. Of course, the best way to deal with dog poisoning is to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delays in treatment.

Emergency measures after dog poisoning
Within 30 minutes after the dog eats poisonous food, try to give it water to induce vomiting. Common emetics include sodium bicarbonate, salt, and mustard.
If the dog regains consciousness, give it a large amount of baking soda or concentrated warm salt water.
If vomiting cannot be induced or the effect is poor, gastric lavage is necessary. Use 5-10 ml of warm salt water per kilogram of body weight to rinse repeatedly. Common solutions include warm salt water, warm boiled water, and strong tea.
Adsorbers like activated carbon can be used to adsorb toxins on the drug surface, but this method is ineffective for cyanide poisoning.
Try giving the dog laxatives to promote the excretion of toxins from the gastrointestinal tract.
If the dog has eaten poisonous substances for more than 4 hours, most of the toxins have entered the duodenum. To prevent bacterial growth and proliferation in the intestine, give broad-spectrum antibiotics orally, such as gentamicin, chloramphenicol, or tetracycline.
To prevent shock, corticosteroids or drugs such as prednisone and prednisolone can be applied.

Summary: If a dog experiences poisoning, the above emergency measures can serve as a reference. However, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the hospital promptly for professional medical treatment based on the specific situation of the dog's poisoning.
