Well… it finally happened. Stupid me allowed the dogs into the far barn unattended, and then I noticed the rat poison missing. I normally have it inside the tamper proof containers, but I had a couple “bricks” in another spot that is normally closed off. They found it, unfortunately. And I had no idea which one ate it.
So, to the side yard we went, bottle of hydrogen peroxide in-hand. Down the hatch. I watched both dogs throw up and dry-heave for about 15 minutes. Turns out, they both ate the poison. Bromadiolone .005 %… it’s an anticoagulant.
I feel like they will probably fine. But my wife is insisting we should call the vet. I know damn-well the vet is not going to tell me “they’ll be fine”, for fear of a lawsuit. I really don’t want to spend $300 on a vet bill right now. I think I’m gonna just watch them closely the next few days and see how it goes.
What does everyone else think about this? Any similar experience of your own?
