If your vet is not available, call the pet emergency to find out if you should bring your dog in. A dog that has been sprayed in the face and mouth can experience anything from temporary blindness to kidney failure down the road if he is not treated properly.
Some of the signs that your dog has been sprayed in the mouth and may need to to see the vet are vomiting, disorientation, and diarrhea.
