Stearic Acid Toxicity to Dogs
The toxicity test of stearic acid in dogs
In recent times, the wind of dog breeding has become more and more prosperous, and the maintenance and health of dogs are all important to the owner. Stearic acid is more common in daily use. However, if a dog comes into contact with or eats it, its toxicity is safe, and it is really related to the safety of the dog, which cannot be ignored.
Stearic acid is a common fatty acid, white and greasy, or solid or powder. It is widely used in industry, daily chemistry, and food industries. In industry, it can be used as a lubricant and mold release agent; in daily chemistry, it is more common in soaps and creams; in food, it can be an additive to ensure quality and shelf life.
If a dog comes into contact with stearic acid, its fur may react. In light cases, the hair is dry and dull, and in severe cases, it may cause itching and erythema on the skin. Although borderline stearic acid is not a strong irritant, the skin of dogs is delicate and sensitive, and contact for a long time or in large amounts can also irritate it. The habit of dogs is to lick the body with the tongue to clean the fur. If the fur is stearic acid and lick it into the abdomen, it is involved in the risk of internal administration.
Internal administration of stearic acid has different harms. When the amount is small, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs. Common symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Cover stearic acid into the stomach, the stomach and intestines need to be dissolved, but the dog's digestive system has limited adaptation to it, so it disturbs the gastrointestinal qi, causes abnormal lifting, and then has diarrhea. If you eat too much, it will be a big disaster. Or cause gastrointestinal obstruction, food dross can not go down, clogging the intestines, dogs will have unbearable abdominal pain, tossing and turning, and their diet is wasted. What's more, stearic acid is absorbed through the stomach and intestines, entering the blood, or damaging the liver and kidneys. If the liver is excreted and the kidney is excreted, the two are damaged, the toxins in the body will be difficult to excrete, and the dog's health will be in danger.
Owners should pay attention to the dog's environment on weekdays. If the daily food contains stearic acid, it should be properly placed, and the dog should not be touched. If a dog accidentally comes into contact with or eats stearic acid and sees an abnormal state, seek medical attention as soon as possible. The doctor can administer appropriate treatment according to the dog's symptoms and intake. Or use vomiting to make the unmelted stearic acid vomit; or use medication to induce diarrhea to urge it to be excreted from the body; if the organs have been injured, symptomatic treatment is required to restore the dog's health.
In short, stearic acid is potentially dangerous in dogs. Owners should not ignore it because it is common. They must be cautious and take precautions before the disease occurs, so as to protect the dog's safety. People and dogs can get along with each other and enjoy the years together.
