I'm truly sorry for bothering you, but my dog has ingested caustic soda and i've been wondering.. if she digested a small amount of it, is there a chance she might survive?

Yes there is a chance that she will survive, but immediate treatment is needed to avoid or act against intoxication cause by the soda. Immediate veterinary check up is required to save her life. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
