I saw that but to me is just didn't stress the need for immediate vet care as blatantly other articles I read did, stressing it more than once. This one puts the word immediately at the end of the paragraph once.

If it hasn't been for the other thread and what happened to Cassie and Muffin, I don't know if I would have ever found out about this stuff. What amazed me is that these 2 dogs got apparently such a small amount and got so sick, despite the fact that their owner had actually sucked out some of the juice! That is what is so amazing about the story.
