Force him to drink some hydrogen peroxide. Keep giving it to him until he throws up. Then go to the ER vet.

Nothing to mess with and he needs supportive care, activated charcoal and Vit K pills. Don't wait on hold. Load the dog up and go right now to the ER clinic.

You can make him vomit right now, I did it many times with my previous dogs. Anything you need is salt, a little of water and large syringe. If you don't have a syringe do it manually, making clots of salt, pushing right down the throat and avoiding the tongue. Don't be afraid to put too much. Cut your nails in avoidance of scratching your dog's tender throat

If not much is ingested he should be ok for that hour. I read some rat poison the dog won't show symptoms for many days which is bad because when it does it may be too late. My dog ate it over night and I discovered the neon poop the next morning and it was too late to induce vomiting then but he made it. He showed no symptoms. This is a 10 lbs dog.

If he ingested any, I think the vet has a way to tell by measuring the K levels or something in his blood stream.
