With the arrival of spring, cases of dog hunting also become more frequent – when people leave meat, sausage or pate stuffed with metal objects or poisons on the street.
Both homeless dogs and domestic animals suffer from this.
How to prevent your dog from becoming a victim of dog hunters
To protect your pet, be sure to teach it the command "No" ("Drop", "Give", "Spit"). This skill must be honed to automatism, so that on the first command the dog drops what it took.
Don't let your dog pick up unknown objects on the street. If this habit doesn't stick, put a muzzle on your pet.
Try to make sure that your walks take place in places far from the metropolis.
How to help a dog with poisoning
The main thing in such a situation is not to fall into a stupor or, on the contrary, into panic.
You must act very quickly. First, give the dog a lot of fluids, then take the animal to the vet, where they will give him an IV and wash out his intestines.
