Thank you for those who were being nice Her name was Shasta she was black n white very tiny bc she was the smallest from her liter . It amazes me how rude ppl can be seriously !!!!! |
About boric acid:
The National Pesticide Information Center considers boric "very low to low in toxicity" to animals when eaten. If, however, a dog ingests a roach poison that contains phosphorus, it must receive immediate treatment before
the poison attacks its nervous system. Once the poison attacks the dog's nervous system, its chances for survival diminish significantly.
Symptoms
Boric Acid, also sold as Borax, may cause the dog to vomit or froth at the mouth, but will not poison the dog. If the dog
ingests a roach poison that contains phosphorus, the first symptoms that an owner might observe could include cramping, vomiting, abdominal pain or convulsions.
I am not sure your baby ingested boric acid....if the dog gets enough of the boric acid, PLUS phospherous, you get symptoms of neurological issues....nothing mentioned about hemorrhaging.....did you have toxicology studies done during the autopsy.....you did have a post done on the baby, right???? Especially if you are pursuing legal avenues.....
