We never know what they have been given and there is often only so much the vet can do. Its really not nice when it does happen to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051774766874010435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-6363975284559999532012-03-21T06:45:16.261-07:002012-03-21T06:45:16.261-07:00When my mum's dog ate something she shouldn...When my mum's dog ate something she shouldn't have, we could tell straight away. She sat very sit on a mat and looked very sorry for herself. We rushed her to the vets and sure enough, she'd eaten something she shouldn't have (rotting flesh apparently - maybe that bone she dug up when we went for a walk). It's funny cos my other half acts exactly the same when he's not well. Same facial expressions and all!Time-Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263202743983987182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-35604447652646147932012-03-16T10:47:26.219-07:002012-03-16T10:47:26.219-07:00One of the worse days of my life was in October.

We get home from seeing a movie, play with our young German Shepherd for a bit. And he seems...off. He's playing, he went and peed, but he seems a little bit down, a little bit clingier than usual. Then we found one of my husband's nearly-empty asthma inhalers on the floor, chewed up. We assumed all the albuterol would have dispersed in the air when the canister was punctured. Thank god for Google and my paranoia. "Extreme tachycardia" said the Googles. Put my hand on the dog's chest and his heart was pounding away. Rushed off to the emergency vet, chewed-up inhaler in hand. HR was 180. Thankfully he was young and healthy and the vets + animal poison control got him straightened out and he recovered. It was terrifying. I know a lot of the common household poisons and obviously we didn't mean to leave that in reach (still don't know where it came from) but I had no idea albuterol was so dangerous for dogs. I don't know what would have happened if he had hidden the inhaler under the couch or something. Thankfully he's not big on ingesting foreign objects so we didn't have to worry about that angle on top of the poisoning.Sillermoon/Fallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656120837066072032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-55445255601968929182012-03-16T07:43:29.839-07:002012-03-16T07:43:29.839-07:00My earliest childhood memory is watching my dad bu...My earliest childhood memory is watching my dad bury our lab after our neighbors fed him rat poison (we looked like another neighbor's dog, and the two families were feuding).
