Getting treatment right away for it crucial, and how long it takes for a dog to regain his weight and strength from it depends on how quickly he received treatment. For a dog who received treatment for it immediately, then recovery time will be much shorter than a dog who didn't receive treatment until after symptoms started showing. Without knowing how quickly your dog got treatment after eating the rat poison, I cannot say exactly how long it will take for your dog to recover, but it can take weeks.
