Post by Terry »

Bertie my little black cocker, was not himself this morning, i saw him pick something up and eat it in the garden but could not get it in time, seemed okay last nigh/ then was not too keen on getting up and did not eat,tail wagging though! when my wife took him out he was sick twice some blue stuff
and the other end was lose, ..17 weeks old and I am worrying like a mother hen, I want to kill him most of the time although he seems to be turning the corner. I guess just keep a close eye on him.?!! :(

A lot of rat bait [poison] is blue dyed in colour, if it was that then being sick will not be a bad thing,[ Its slow acting on rats but builds up internally , ] if you think its poison give your vet a call. Rat bait comes as blue or red dyed grain or in blue blocks about the size of a game-dice or small dog biscuit.

My friends jack Russell ate rat poison a few weeks ago so he rang the local vet which he uses for his cows. The vet told him to give the dog a large spoonful of salt to make him vomit. He did this and it made the dog throw up for a few hours and it has been well since. Probably too long since your dog has eaten it to try this.

Took him to VETs was not in a good place, they could find nothing but his temp was fine but very weak.
Gave him a shot for Acidic tummy plus some probiotic starved him overnight , gave him equiv of dioralight for hydration
, today he is much much better just on chicken and rice for the day . He went nuts tonight jumping around again. I never thought I would be happy to see that again bit sure am.
So I guess/ hope on fast road to recovery.. Must have eaten something bad for sure.....
Thanks for showing concern.
