This time I would speak of an occurrence which takes place quite frequently in the home environment, or accidental ingestion of detergents containing bleach as they are or diluted with water by our pets. generally typical of the dog is going to drink in the bucket, left unattended, where is the soapy water with which you are about to do the cleaning, and cat, it falling in accidentally.
In both cases, normally the amount of substance ingested is not harmful to the animal's life, but also can produce unpleasant effects, which is also useful to know to take the necessary measures in time, pending the 'veterinary attention.
to household bleach, remember, usually means of hygiene products, cleaning and disinfection, which contains a concentration of sodium hypochlorite in a percentage between 3 and 6%, while for industrial use and products for swimming pools can contain up to 50%.
Other substances such as effects common, however, are the TCCA (a highly corrosive substance, but low toxicity) and sodium perborate (converted into hydrogen peroxide, which gives gastrointestinal symptoms, and borate, really toxic only at doses between 200 and 500 mg / kg), frequently lay in the bleach (chlorine free), although the latest ones now are mostly made of hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide or the municipality.
As regards the mechanism of action of sodium hypochlorite ricordiamo che stiamo parlando di una sostanza ad alto potere corrosivo, in quanto fortemente alcalina, di conseguenza i tessuti con cui viene a contatto subiscono delle vere e proprie ustioni di tipo chimico.
In genere se il contatto avviene con soluzioni diluite la sintomatologia è poco o per nulla evidente tenuto anche conto del basso grado di tossicità, mentre è diverso il discorso se parliamo di soluzioni concentrate.
In quest'ultimo caso, soprattutto in conseguenza dell'ingestione, si produrranno vomito (che già di per sé limita l'assorbimento del tossico), scialorrea (ipersalivazione), ustioni su labbra, lingua e mucosa orale and gastric irritation and / or bowel, as demonstrated by hypersensitivity to the level of the cranial abdomen.
In more severe cases can also be found edema of the pharynx and, erosions and ulcerations in the gastric mucosa, haematemesis (vomiting, bleeding), sometimes with bloody diarrhea due to gastroenteritis of medium or high severity.
In case of contact with skin and eyes (always in case of concentrated solutions), we have, respectively, with skin and eye irritation and conjunctivitis iperlacrimazione, following burns on contact and there is pain localized to the injured party: in this case the maggior parte degli animali presenterà anche l'odore caratteristico della candeggina e uno sbiancamento del pelo in corrispondenza della regione in cui è avvenuto il contatto.
Pertanto si consigliano lavaggi accurati della parte interessata con acqua semplice a livello oculare e saponata tiepida con abbondanti risciacqui sulla cute, avendo cura però di non far raffreddare l'animale.
Come trattamento in caso di ingestione invece si sconsiglia l'induzione del vomito o la lavanda gastrica, per non irritare ulteriormente le mucose oro-faringea ed esofagea, anche perché la maggior parte degli animali vomiterà comunque spontaneamente entro pochi minuti dall'ingestione.
E 'be helpful here as well with fresh water rinse the mouth to remove any residue of the substance, or give to drink large amounts of water or milk to dilute the poison in the stomach and thus reduce further damage mucosal gastro-enteritis.
There seems to be effective antidotes, but is recommended in all cases, the administration of magnesium hydroxide (2-3 ml / kg) or aluminum-based gels to protect the gastric mucosa as therapy and support the administration of intravenous infusion based on glucose than normal saline or, when necessary (ie in case of large lesions and / or deep mucosal), anti-inflammatory therapy and / or antibiotics.
