what if dog licks dmso
Hi Kitty! I need your help. What happens if a dog licks DMSO?
Oh hi there! I'm not a vet but I can tell you that DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a solvent that can penetrate skin and other tissues. It's often used to help transport medicine to specific areas of the body. However, if a dog licks it, it can cause potential problems.
What kind of problems are we talking about?
DMSO is much more active in the case of ingestion. Dogs might experience stomach upset and various other health issues like irritations and burns if they come in contact with it.
Oh, I see. So, is there any immediate treatment required if a dog accidentally licks DMSO?
In case your pet comes into contact with DMSO and starts showing adverse symptoms, it's best to contact a vet immediately. I would strongly encourage not trying to deal with this yourself. Keep the area safe and make sure your pet can't reach the DMSO in the future.
Thanks a lot, Kitty! You were really helpful.
I'm glad I could be of help! Remember, safety comes first for our little friends. Let me know if you need anything else.
