“…Other reported causes of intoxication are fire works/ firecrackers. In our work, a dog developed vomit and a comatose state after the ingestion of firecrackers and in the literature episodes of animal poisoning caused by explosives (mainly due to components such as cyclonite, barium, and chlorate (Gahagan and Wismer, 2018)) are also described (Stanley et al, 2019), sometimes with a fatal outcome (Schediwy et al, 2015).
