most rat poisons are anticoagulants, this means they prevent blood from clotting. the result would be a pretty horrible death through internal bleeding
It can poison them pretty badly i think.
Take him straight to a vet!
If your dog has ingested any type of poison (especially small mammal poison) take it to a vet immeadiately.
Well this will vary by the brand and type of rat poison, generly not much. Hence the name 'rat poison'. If your rat has eaten rat poison i would advise that you take them to the vet emedietly.
Sorry bit your rat, will live no more. :-(
The most common rat poison is warfarin. It can kill a man if enough of it was eaten. Warfarin is strychnine, and as such, deadly.
You are an idiot that needs to be in prison. Why don't YOU take the rat poison yourself
It depends on the type of poison the rat was given.
The effects of the poison were negligible to the lab rat.
Your dog is pretty much dead.
Giving a dog coffee and milk after it has already swallowed rat poison is a bad idea - the caffeine in coffee can be dangerous to dogs, and the dog is already suffering from rat poison intoxication. Also, milk is not healthy for dogs - most (like most adult mammals excepting humans) are lactose-intolerant, so you can induce stomach cramps and diarrhea on top of the problems from the rat poison. Your best option is to grab the rat poison container and the dog and head to the vet for examination and treatment.
call poison control.
Your dog may develop a rash several days to a week after ingesting some types of rat poison because it is having a bleeding crisis. One type of rat poison works by eliminating Vitamin K from the body, which keeps the dog from being able to clot its blood. Over time, this will kill the dog (and is how it kills rats, too) unless it is treated by a veterinarian. If you know that your dog recently ate rat poison, get it to the veterinarian immediately - this is a medical emergency.
Toxicity and/or death are usually the only ones.
