 poison question about roundup
So last night was a very hard night for all of us; we spent it at the emergency vet. Heres my story....last saturday i put some round up down in the yard to kill a fungus, which it did. We watered the round up in three times since last saturday and it has rained twice so surely you would think the chemical was gone. Well, saturday night we let lexi out to do her business and she was chacing frogs in that area where the round up was spraid last week. I promply picked her up and brought her inside, she was fine the rest of the night no problems, very active healthy puppy. Then sunday came along and lexi ate fine, had regular bathroom trips for both 1 and 2, played with us all day then come 8 o clock she started pucking everywhere and having a hard time breathing so we called the emergency vet. They said to bring her in so we did...they put her on a special diet of wetlamb and rice, and some meds to take for the next 4 days. They also said to administer pedialyte for a few days so she doesn't dehydrate. My question is could the round up causes her vomiting and respatory problems. I mean it was down for a week watered in, and she didn't show symproms till almost 24 hours after playing in that area. OR could the frogs be poisonis? I have no clue, can someone help. She is doing fine now just a little tired and needy but good. I know it is a chemical and it can hurt her but so far after it was laid on the weeds?
