Re: Re: our rescue pup found and ate an entire bottle of Armour

[Guest guest]

I am sorry I wasn't around yesterday when this happened as I have had a

prior experience much the same. I had a SMALL pomeranian puppy that did

the same thing about 20 years ago and she was fine and ate at least 70

of them. Poison control and my local emergency vet both said to just

watch her but there should be no complications and there wasn't.

glad she is o.k and what a shame you lost 200 of the good old armour!Subject: Re: our rescue pup found and ate an entire bottle of ArmourTo: RT3_T3 Date: Monday, January 11, 2010, 5:29 AM

Thank you to my Forum friends for all your prayers. .after Sophie went to the ER, we realized our older dog may have shared in the escapade so she had to be checked out as well so we all ended up there for quite a while last night.

It was a long night of charcoal treatments for Sophie and Scout, as always, the good girl, hadn't joined in the trouble. We've been monitoring Sophie all night and it appears she is okay although it wasn't a fun night sleeping next to her on the floor. .now off to work.

Note: it was the old Armour, it was close to 200 1 grain pills in a child safe bottle where the Mom, me, had left it on a table (will never do that again). She chewed through the bottle and plastic and ate all but the child safe top. (maybe that will be funny one day, not now)

The good news is, per Poison Control, dogs don't react the same way at same doses so Sophie, for her weight, apparently was just over the "trigger point" as they say for toxicity.

Sorry for the off-topic last night but I was beside myself with fear.
