I posted that Sal was very ill on the sick board. I just want all animal lovers to know that people our throwing rat poison in yards here in along the coastal southern regions. Sal was poison by someone doing the same thing. We receive that test results back today and he tested positive for rat poison. Our vet informed us that people get a big kicks out of dump the rat posion in backyards. There has been several cases of this report along the southern coastal regions. Please make sure that they are not eat grass or anything in their yards.

I am so sorry about your baby, I can't understand how some people could be so cruel

nvnvgirl · 07-03-2008, 08:03 AM

How awful! I'm so glad that they found out what was wrong with Sal though....so at least it can be treated, but what is wrong with people? And I assume the back yards are fenced? Some people are really sick.

ARCHIE · 07-03-2008, 08:04 AM

OMG your poor baby.
I hope he will be ok. People are either just plain sick or just plain evil

Maybe both.
I know rat poison is very serious and I pray your little one will be ok.

I wish I knew this 3 years ago (almost) when I lost my 5 month old baby yorkie to rat poison as well. I suspected someone threw it in our yard, I even called the police station to see if there was reports of that. I asked vets in the local area if dogs were coming in sick from ingesting rat poison more frequently lately. Everyone said no. I have no other ideas on how my baby got poisoned. It was tragic!

I hope your Sal is doing well and on the road to recovery! Having lost one in this tragic and senseless way I understand your pain over his illness and the reasons why. Some people are just sick. Imagine doing that, to kill animals for FUN? **BLECCCHHH*

KimberlySRN · 07-03-2008, 08:19 AM

Oh my… what is wrong with people. Prayers going out to you and your little one for a full recovery.

chachi · 07-03-2008, 08:23 AM

That is terrible you cant even trust having your dogs in your yard. I am sorry and I am praying all turns out well for Sal

adorame · 07-03-2008, 08:23 AM

Oh my goodness! What is wrong with people these day's! I hope that your little one will be OK!

Cathi · 07-03-2008, 08:41 AM

thank you all.
And to answer the question do we have a fenced in yard we do that is why they had to throw it. We have reported it to the Sheriff Office but I am not to sure what they can do.

diggy4 · 07-03-2008, 08:44 AM

okay that just sounds CRAZY

I hope Karma gets them right in the BUTT!!!!!

chattiesmom · 07-03-2008, 08:50 AM

Cathi, I am so very sorry. I hope Sal recovers and has no after affects.

I cannot believe this. It is hard to imagine a heart that would do something like that.

Judy in Waco · 07-03-2008, 08:51 AM

OMG! I am shaking right now. I will never forget the scare we had with Gizmo and to think someone would deliberately do this is....mindboggling! I am beyond furious for you!

Is your vet giving vitamin K treatments? How's your baby doing?

mizzwanned · 07-03-2008, 10:08 AM

I'm so sorry, i hope Sal is okay now. Why don't you set up a camera to see who is throwing the posion in your yard and then show it to the police.

Cathi · 07-04-2008, 05:10 AM

We pick him up last night and he has been sleep on an off since. He is having a very hard time eating. We have tried to hand feed him and set the food out so that he can get to it. We were also give a special can of dog food he does not touch it. Do you have ant suggestion on how to get him to eat?
Thank you
