Always Have On Hand An Emergency Poison Number To Call, Please Don"t Rely On The Internet To Save Your Babies Life...... The Phone Is Much Quicker..........or Just Call Your Vet, They Should Direct You To An Emergency Source. Good Luck And Hope Your Baby Is Going To Be Ok..............

I'd still go to the vet and have blood drawn. sometimes, poisons don't have a quick reaction. better safe than sorry!

0obabyo0 · 10-08-2005, 08:08 PM

I hope that line applies to puppies, too.

ldenise · 10-08-2005, 08:22 PM

does the container have a number to call? emergency vet would be my first try. but take the container with you. they may not know anything about it either. helps to have the ingredient list or a number to hand to the vet.

0obabyo0 · 10-08-2005, 08:43 PM

Ok I Called The Vet They Had Me Call Poison Control Couldnt Get A Hold Of Anyone Then I Called Miracle Grow Poison Center Guy Told Me To Watch Him Give Him Water If He Starts To Vomit Or Any Weird Symptoms Call Emergency Vet Right Away.. I Called The Vet Back With That Information And He Also Told Me The Same Thing Baby Seems To Be Fine I Checked His Mouth He Doesnt Smell Like Or Anything But I Will Keep U Updated Thanks Everyone

ldenise · 10-09-2005, 05:54 AM

how is he this morning?

red98vett · 10-09-2005, 06:02 AM

IF A DOG ingests something that is possibly toxic or poisonous - your vet should be the first call you make -

IF anyone thinks their yorkie ingested ANYTHING that could be toxic - GO TO YOUR VET or an Energency Animal hospital - I wouldn't look on the net - I would just go......it's way better to be safe..... than take too long and be sorry.

Good luck with your little guy !! I hope he's going to be ok. How is he feeling now ?

schatzie · 10-09-2005, 06:10 AM

How scary and I do hope we get an update on your Yorkie guy. (what is his name?)

The panic mode is not the time to be searching for numbers to call etc. Now that things have settled is the time to organize all your emergency numbers and have them easily accessed just incase this ever happens again. (And I pray that it doesn't)

Best health wishes to your Yorkie.
