These will typically only last for about 30 to 45 minutes before quickly passing. The chances are that your dog is either going to either develop no symptoms at all or some mild intestinal symptoms consisting of drooling, retching, and vomiting. If instead, they drink just a little bit of diluted bleach or non-chlorine bleach, then you can expect your dog to develop one or more of these common bleach poisoning symptoms: Thankfully, severe and fatal bleach poisoning is rare. Something that becomes more likely if there are nerve problems, another complication that can develop in severe bleach poisoning. A horrible complication where the vomit is actually inhaled into the lungs. Vomiting may result in something called aspiration pneumonia. Metabolic derangements develop with a number of different body systems affected. Severe PoisoningĪs well as intestinal ulceration, with the potential for perforation, strong bleach can cause a number of other issues, all of which can contribute to a fatal outcome. If this happens then the chance of recovery is slim at best. Not only will it cause ulceration and blistering, but when the intestines are involved, these ulcers can perforate and form holes that allow the intestinal contents to leak out into the abdomen (or chest if the esophagus is severely affected). If any quantity of bleach is drunk, this burning will continue all the way down your dog’s esophagus and into their stomach. If on the other hand they chew on a bottle or lap up a spill, they will get burning to their lips, mouth, and tongue. If they walk through a puddle of strong bleach then their feet will start to burn. The first places that get affected depend on where the bleach comes into contact with your dog first.

In contrast to this, if your dog drinks a really concentrated form of strong, undiluted bleach, then the danger is much more real. While dilute household bleach is probably going to be an irritant, it is unlikely to be so dangerous that the poisoning becomes life-threatening. Has your dog chewed on a bottle of concentrated professional cleaning bleach, or have they just walked across a floor wet with household bleach diluted in a big bucket of water? The big factor to consider with bleach poisoning in dogs is how diluted it is. ![]()
