A teaspoon of salt might help a dog that has swallowed nicotine.

In slightly related news from the telegraph:

A 10-a-day cigarette chewing 24-year-old Dachshund has been knocked down and killed – on his way to the tobacconist's shop.

24! Now that's a mighty good age for any dog. Bless him - hope dogs' heaven has his brand...

DC, I followed Madog's link to the site giving veterinary advice about poisoning - one thing it seemed quite emphatic about was NOT giving salt to induce emesis (vomiting). Know I already said this but as a result I do think that article on e-cig news should be retitled or removed. If someone is in a panic, they may not have time to actually read the article even if you add a comment to the effect that actually it isn't a good idea.

Sorry if I sound like a nag, but rather like e-smoking myths I'd rather the net wasn't plastered with bad advice and inaccurate information even if some folk at least go by the tenet of 'don't believe everything you read'!

Love'n'peace
(reminds me, better go look at the Iraq thread to see if there's blood all over it...)

Thanks for your concern tetsab. I have now re-titled that link to the pet forum to:

It is believed by some that the advice given at this forum is incorrect and giving salt to a dog to induce vomiting after it has swallowed nicotine may cause it harm. This link will be updated or deleted at a latter stage.

I have also linked back to this thread. I will update or delete the link when silianfoxb finds out for sure from his vet hopefully.
