Sorry to some of my friends this afternoon on MSN and such.
For those who don't know. I got home around 1PM and found my youngest puppy foaming at the mouth and barely breathing. We took him to the Emergency Vet 20 minutes away. He is staying the night in critical condition. He got some slug bait off the shelf and ate it. It is fatal in most cases because there temperature rises, his has not. So he is on a stomach pump the rest of the night.
I had to make a hard decision though. Since he was a puppy I decided to bring home (first dog for me to bring home, I have picked allot of cats but no dogs before) I had to decide if it was worth $2,000 to keep him alive. He is cute, and a pain at times but I couldn't see an animal in my hands die because he made a dumb mistake. So there is $2,000 out of our pocket and a hopefully still alive dog in the next few days.
Hopefully they can keep him alive. If they can this will only be the second dog this year they have been able to keep alive from eating slug bate. But the hopes are up, he doesn't have all the bad things against him.
Anyway it was pretty scary for me. I have never seen an animal in so much pain.
I have had cats die before (Ran Over By Car/Bird) but I was so young I don't remember. This was just scary.
Anyway, cross your fingers.
