After a dog eats rat poison, the attack will usually occur within a few hours, and some will occur within 24 hours. The specific time depends on the strength of the rat poison. When it is found that a dog has eaten rat poison, rescue measures should be taken immediately, otherwise it may cause life-threatening danger. You can give the dog soapy water to induce vomiting. If vomiting cannot be induced, it is best to send it to a nearby pet hospital for treatment immediately.
