My dog ate rat poison, vomited. Should I still be worried about her?

Question

I caught my dog eating a rat poison block, I called the vet immediately and they said to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. We got her to vomit 10 min after eating it and I could see most of the poison block in the 1st pile, a couple very tiny pieces in the 2nd pile with even less in the 3rd pile. She vomited a 4th time and I saw no pieces of the poison. She’s acting normal and seems fine but I am still worried. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 7 years old | 75 lbs

Marley will likely be fine now. I suggest you take her to your veterinarian for a coagulation panel in about 7 days, just in case some of the anticoagulant in the poison (if this was the anticoagulant type) dis get absorbed. Watch for signs of illness (neurological such as seizures, or increased thirst...there are a few other types of rat poison which can cause this) and if these occur, please take your dog to the vet. Apart from that, if all the poison was regurgitated within a relatively short time after ingestion, your dog should be fine.
