Can my dog eat wheat pills?گندم کی گولیاں
No.
Wheat pills (aluminium phosphide) and zinc phosphide rat powder give off a poison gas inside the stomach. This is an emergency for the dog and a danger to you.
Already ate it?
If they ate itGo to a vet now and take the packet. Don't feed them. Drive with the windows open and don't lean over their vomit — it releases the gas. Don't make them vomit unless a vet tells you to. Anyone who feels dizzy or sick should see a doctor.
Watch forVomiting (sometimes with blood), drooling, a bloated painful belly, wobbliness, fast breathing, tremors or collapse — usually within minutes to a few hours.
Thinking of giving it?
Why not even a littleLethal doses in dogs are reported from 20–40 mg per kg of body weight, and vets treat from about a tenth of that. One wheat pill carries far more than any dog's lethal dose.
WhyStomach acid turns the phosphide into phosphine gas, which burns the gut and damages the heart, lungs and liver. Severe cases can die within hours. The gas smells of rotten fish or garlic, and it comes out in the dog's vomit and breath.
