My puppy ate oil? i am scared - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i dont know what i should do.Our refrigerator is leaking oil but cant do anything about it until our maintenance man comes. We had put old towels on the spot that had a leak.
Anyhow, we were letting him play and as soon as i went to sip my coffee i turned around and he had taking the towels off the spot and was licking up the oil? We actually have a nurse in the house and she had said to give him his new born milk which i did but i am also afraid that him licking the oil may kill him?

If you suspect your pet has ingested a caustic substance, do NOT induce vomiting. Caustic substances damage flesh on contact, and do fatal damage to your dog's innards within minutes.

SEEK EMERGENCY VETERINARY CARE IMMEDIATELY!!

List of Caustic Chemicals and Substances
Battery Acid
Bleach
Carbolic Acid
Motor Oil
Drain Cleaner
Fertilizer
Glue
Household Cleaners
Kerosene
Laundry Detergent
Turpentine
Plaster
Sidewalk Salt
Putty
Pine Cleaners
Paintbrush Cleaner
Nail Polish
Nail Polish Remover
Paint Thinner

I don't know if it's like motor oil but I really think you need to call the emergency vet right now! Keep us updated.

Osirisbaby · 05-11-2009, 08:57 PM

YES, he needs to see the vet ASAP !!!!!

It makes no difference that he is acting perfectly fine.
Some toxins can damage organs and you may not see it right away.
Please call or see a vet immediately and find an ER vet in your area in case something like this happens again.
