The effects of acetaminophen poisoning are quite serious, often causing non-repairable liver damage. Dogs will typically experience acetaminophen toxicity at over 75 mg per kg body weight. The most common symptoms that you may notice in pets suffering from acetaminophen toxicity include:

•Brownish-gray colored gums
•Labored breathing
•Swollen face, neck or limbs
•Hypothermia (reduced body temperature)
•Vomiting
•Jaundice (yellowish color to skin, whites of eyes), due to liver damage
•Coma
