Kathy, I'm sure she will be ok -- the vets will monitor her and take care of her

.... I'm thinking of you and Sophie and praying for a happy outcome!

Kathy, it's good that you discovered that she had gotten into the meds. You must be a very good "fur-mom." I've said a prayer for Sophie and will continue to pray for her. I'm sure the folks at the emergency vet will know what to do to minimize the effects.

I know it's hard not to go crazy with worry. I'll be praying for you too, sweetie. Please let us know how thing go at the vet as soon as you have a moment.

Sending you a virtual hug {{{{{{{{{{{{Kathy}}}}}}}}}}}.

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.

I had that happen once! The puppy poison control had us give the dog hydrogine

peroxide to force vomitting. That did work, let me tell you. However, several

days later the dog had to go to Doggy ER and be admitted.

Take the dog to the vet.

Thanks Val. . it was a scary experience as I'm sure yours was too.

Sophie was rocky on Monday but by Tuesday she seemed fine. Today we are back to

100% and we are very, very grateful that we came home Sunday evening when we

did. We were only gone 3 hours so it was by God's good grace that we discovered

the issue before too much time had passed.

Sophie had quite the ordeal at the Emergency 24 hour vet but they said she took

it all very well.

Suffice it to say, we have child proofed completely.

The loss of all the Armour in my mind is the very least of it. . .all can be

replaced. .could never replace the love and joy of our rescue baby Sophie.

All is well that ends well. .sorry for such an Off Topic String.
