My dog drank bleach water. Is it an emergency? What should I do?

Question

Hi, I caught my dog drinking some bleach water. She took a long drink from her water bowl and she walked into the bathroom, where I had about 3oz of bleach in the water to sanatize it. I must have forgotten to put the lid down and hear her drinking. she probably took 4-5 laps before i got in there and stopped her. Its been 10 minutes and she seems ok so far. How toxic is that, should i make her eat or drink something? Is this an emergency amount? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 11 years and 5 months old | 80 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. Oh no, that's not good. Because the bleach is in water, it is diluted, which makes it less toxic. She may be fine, but I will give you some thinks you can do for her. First, give her a small bowl of milk. This may help neutralize any bleach present. Then check her mouth, see if you can see any redness in her mouth. If you do, she will need to see a vet. Otherwise, keep an eye on her. If she starts excessively drooling or vomits, have her see a vet right away. Best of luck.
