The scary story at my house, is with my dog Callie. We adopted her from a rescue two years ago, and when she was about a year old, we were working on some wiring in the house, and my husband had a pack of rat poison in his tool box, and didn't know it, and had the lid open, and I found it ripped open on the floor, with some missing, and the dog in there with it. I flipped out, because I knew our vets weren't in on a saturday, so I grabbed her, and ran to the car, yelling at my husband I was going to try to find some help, she ate rat poison, and I raced to Walmart to the pharmacy, to ask the pharmacist if he had any ipikec syrup, and he didn't, so he got on the phone, and called another drug store, and they didn't have any either, so I told him I was headed to the third one, because that was my last hope. I ran in, and told them what was wrong, and the one clerk gave me a bottleof syrup, with a bottle of water, and told me to come back in and pay later, and another clerk went outside, and helped me get it into the dog. I ran back in, while she held her leash, and paid for it, plus buying some charcoal that you take internally to stop poisons from being absorbed. Then, I raced to the vets house, running with the dog in my arms, to his front door,where his wife answered in her bathrobe, lol, and asked her if he was home, and of course, he wasn't, and she told me what I was doing was the right thing, and that if she threw up, she needed vitamin K, but she couldn't give it to me, so I stopped back at the drug store, and bought a bottle of tablets, after finding out what dosage was safe to give to a dog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, took the dog on a back road, and drove back and forth, to get her to throw up the poison! She finally threw up the pellets, and they were mostly whole, but I dumped more syrup into her, and drove like a nut again, until she thew up a second time, and by then, I was home. I got my husband to help me get the charcoal mix down her throat, gave her vitamin K, and hoped for the best. I called the vet Monday morning, and he told me I did the right thing, and that if she was doing ok, and not passing any blood, she would be alright! Wheeeeeeewwww! :smack:
