Product Information

Once you and your pet are safely clear of the electrical source, determine if your pet is stable. If your pet is standing and moving around, this does not mean they haven’t been injured, and you should still have them seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, as damage from electrocution can be internal as well as external. So even if you don’t see any external injuries, it doesn’t mean your pet doesn’t have significant internal trauma. If your pet develops any of the signs above, immediate veterinary attention should also be pursued. Diagnosis If you catch your cat chewing a cord, positively redirect them to an approved option for chewing, such as a chew-safe toy or cat-safe plant like catnip. And reward them anytime they use this acceptable chewing option in the future. Count the number of breaths your pet takes over 15 seconds and multiply it by 4 = how many breaths in 1 minute. A rise and fall of your pet’s chest = 1 respiration. If you don’t see any rise and fall of their chest, their tongue is blue, purple, or pale white, get to an animal ER immediately. Typically involves hospitalization for close monitoring with EKG leads and administration of anti-arrhythmia medications until the heart rate and/or rhythm is controlled. Be Aware of Delayed Onset Electrocution

Systemic injuries (injuries affecting the whole body) – this is a result of the electrical current coursing through a pet’s body and causing damage to internal organs. These injuries can range in severity from mild to life-threatening. They can affect any or multiple organ systems, which means that symptoms can appear as almost anything and may appear as any of the following: vomiting, abdominal pain, muscle spasms, seizures, unconsciousness, respiratory distress, fluid accumulation in the lungs, irregular heart rate and rhythm, cardiac arrest, and sudden death.

Electrocution can result in respiratory distress (trouble breathing) because of the buildup of fluid within the lungs. Known as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. (Pulmonary Edema = an accumulation of fluid within the lungs.) Thus, it is always recommended after a natural disaster or big storm to be careful where you walk your dog and to keep your cat indoors until clean-up crews have been by to assess the area. Or, by placing your hands on either side of their chest behind the elbows, over their heart to try and feel it beating to count the pulse rate. Given chewing on electrical cords is the most common cause of electrocution in pets, prevention of this catastrophe at home is important. And most cases of electrocution because of chewing on an electrical cord in the home are preventable by taking the following steps: Discourage pets from chewing electrical cords

If you suspect or know for sure that your dog’s eaten a cable or charger, then please call the vet immediately. This could be a life-threatening health issue, which requires treatment as soon as possible. Dogs have an innate need to chew. Be sure to provide them with appropriate chew toys, mental enrichment, and enough physical exercise. By providing enticing and dog-safe alternatives for them to chew on, they are less likely to seek out dangerous options like cords. Even so, it’s safest to gather cords and use safety measures like cord covers or otherwise making any cords inaccessible from a curious pup.

Typical treatment requires hospitalization with oxygen support, administration of any necessary medications, close monitoring, and in severe cases, mechanical ventilation may be required. Your pet could be in the hospital for 2–3 days or even longer, depending on the severity of the injuries they sustained. Cardiac Abnormalities Feel for air movement out of your pet’s nostrils. You can also use a tissue in front of their nose to see if it moves with any airflow. Even though electrocution from chewing on live electrical cords is the most common form of electrical injury in our pets, there are others that are worth mentioning – the most notable being stray voltage. This often occurs after natural disasters or bad storms that cause live electrical wires to break and fall across roads and sidewalks or even puddles, which may lead to exposure of unseen electrical current, resulting in electrocution. Due to the high voltage of these cables, death is almost always the result. Place 3–4 fingers on the inside of their rear leg around the mid-thigh. This is where the femoral artery runs, and you should feel it pulsing near the surface. It is easier to find if your dog is standing up. Electrocution can cause multiple different types of injuries, from minor to major external and/or internal injuries. However, the longer a pet is exposed to the current is usually the major variable that causes the differences in the type of injuries, and the greater the damage will be.

Ask a Vet Live Now Phone Cords, Chargers and Dogs Did you see your fur baby eat a foreign object, such as a phone cord or charger? If so, do not induce vomiting. This could cause additional complications for your dog. Only induce vomiting if the vet tells you to do so. If your dog has swallowed a cord or charger, the vet may ask you to bring him in. Electrocution can result in damage to the heart muscle, which can cause irregular heart rate(s) (tachycardia or bradycardia) or heart rhythms (arrhythmia). These irregularities can also be potentially serious & life-threatening. Typically, the most common cause of pulmonary edema when a pet has not been electrocuted is due to heart failure, which is referred to a cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Hence when a pet is electrocuted, we term it NON-cardiogenic as it is not a result of heart (cardiac) issues. This is also one of the most serious and potentially life-threatening consequences of electrocution. However, dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds are still known to get themselves into trouble and can and will chew on electrical cords from time to time, especially if left alone unsupervised.Be aware that some pets who have been electrocuted may experience a delayed onset of symptoms, particularly in cases such as small burns that become infected. Your pet may not exhibit signs of discomfort until a burn becomes infected, or as in cases described above, until fluid starts to fill up in the lungs (more critical cases). Deterrents: You can cover cords with pet-safe bitter-tasting sprays to help deter them from biting any cords. Make sure to spray onto a cloth and then rub it onto the cords, as opposed to spraying directly on the electrical cords and devices.
