Long term effects of rat poison on a dog?

It could have damaged her organs, yes, since rat poison causes hemorrhaging. Depending on the level of damage her lifespan could be shorter.

GSDs are prone to hip dysplasia, but I'm not sure if the poison could have manifested it sooner. The limp could be a completely unrelated injury, or your dog could be manifesting hip dysplasia early, or she might have a nasty bruise on her leg as a result of the internal bleeding from the poison. You might want to see your vet again and ask about that, since there could be many reasons for a limp.

I don't think that there will be any long term effects. My father and I have a blood clotting disorder in which we both take or have taken various blood thinners. Sometimes when on blood thinners your blood will get way to thin for a variety of reason. It has happen to my father before. It is a little scary, but after the intial danger has past I don't think there is any long term danger. Now I am not a vet, nor a doctor, so I couldn't say for sure, but it sounds like your dog will now leave a normal life.

Depending on the dog, and/or rat poison, there might or might not be any long-term effects. Here's a qoute from wikipedia.

"Mouse and rat poisons containing cholecalciferol cause hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in dogs. Symptoms include depression, loss of appetite, vomiting blood, weakness, and shock. Treatment is as above for recent exposure. When hypercalcemia occurs (which can take 1 to 2 weeks), treatment is with intravenous fluids (saline), diuretics, corticosteroids, and calcitonin. ***Long term prognosis is good once the dog is stabilized.***"

It all depends on the type of rat poison that she ingested. That's what determines long-term effects, if any. Do you know what type she got into, what the a.i was? If so, your vet would be able to answer this better and give you all the info you need to know.

Yes, it has damaged some of her internal organs.

Irreversible.

These are questions best answered by the attending vets during the emerg.

Gd. luck. to you and dog.

no it couldn't weaken hips,,,

if you suspect hip issues,,, did you get your dog from a reputable breeder?
