Tampa Bay Area Dog Dies From Drinking Too Much Salt Water
Chris Taylor’s black lab nicknamed O.G., loved the water. They frequently played for hours in the water at Honeymoon Island dog beach.
Then one day problems set in after a trip to the beach when the dog was having stomach issues with diarrhea and vomiting eventually becoming critical. Chris rushed him to the vet only to find out that O.G. was slowly dying from saltwater poisoning. He was severely dehydrated and suffered brain damage.
According to veterinarians, large amounts of saltwater can be highly toxic to animals.
Vet and Dr. Meyer offers this crucial advice: If you want to take your dog to the beach, limit the trip to two hours, taking breaks every thirty minutes with plenty of fresh water for your four-legged family member.
