Chlorine

A few days ago my pug found a chlorine tablet in the backyard. She was treated and is now fine, but I would like to know what could have happened to her.

We’re very glad to hear that your pug is doing fine after her exposure to chlorine, Melissa! What could have happened to her depends on the amount and concentration of chlorine ingested, as well as other factors. Exposure to products with large amounts of chlorine could potentially result in significant irritation and damage to skin, eyes, lungs, the Gl tract and other mucous membranes, depending on the route of exposure. In severe cases, ulceration or even perforation of the GI tract is possible.
