Liquid fabric softener contains cationic detergents that cause severe chemical burns.
Even small ingestions can cause painful burns to the mouth and esophagus.
Cationic detergents (quaternary ammonium compounds) cause caustic injury by disrupting cell membranes. The damage is most pronounced where contact time is longest — the mouth, throat and upper esophagus. Strictures can develop weeks later.

Even a tongue-lick of concentrated softener can cause painful ulcers. Do not induce vomiting — re-exposure damages tissues again.
Contacte imediatamente o seu veterinário ou uma linha de emergência para envenenamento animal. Não induza o vómito a menos que seja indicado por um veterinário.
