Electric Shock

Electric shock is most often related to puppies or kittens biting electric cords.  Damage is entirely dependent on the course the electricity takes and may be limited to localized burns of the mouth, or damage to internal structures. 

After electric shock, some patients develop severe fluid congestion of the lungs (called non cardiogenic pulmonary edema) which can be life threatening and which requires treatment for best chance to have a good outcome.
