My dog drank transmission fluid, has diarrhea and is shaking. Help!

Question

Dog ingested transmission fluid. Has diarrheah which was thin so was mistook for oil and assumed she had sat in it so bathed her but she's now shaking

Laura E. McRae · Accepted Answer

Contact your veterinarian ASAP or go directly to a 24-hour emergency clinic. Transmission fluid is poisonous to dogs, and the effects can range from mild to life-threatening. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, depression, instability/trouble walking, tremors or convulsions (rare), irregular heartbeat, respiratory distress, loss of conciousness, and loss of bodily functions. Treatment may include administration of activated charcoal, a stomach lavage, and if necessary oxygen therapy.
