45. Act fast if your dog is poisoned
Always have your vet on speed dial regardless of your pet’s condition. However, as not all animal doctors have much experience dealing with blue-green algae poisoning in dogs, you might want to search for another animal poison control center.
After getting your dog to the vet, the first thing doctors do is empty the gastrointestinal tract to prevent the poison from absorbing. The best advice we often receive from experts is to prevent exposure in the first place. Sadly, there is no antidote, but there are some treatment options include anticonvulsants, oxygen, and other aggressive measures.
