and so....please, don't bait unless you have to, if you do be steadfast in protecting your pets, and always suspect that your neighbor may be doing so.... |
Clear and present danger! similar circumstance happened to me...dogs found something in the yard and were all going nuts....rat obviously in the throes of death....I took it to the vet to see if it had rabies...they confirmed it was NOT rabies but RAT POISON the rat was dying from, and if my dogs had ingested the rat, they too would have been poisoned.....dont have any idea which neighbor this rat came from...so I am very "en garde" about this....
