I hope your baby is fine this morning. I hope you found the bag of miracle gro under the bed or in the closet. They do love to play with/get into stuff.

When I leave home, my babies either stay in their crate or they have to come with me because they get into everything. When we are home with them, watching them, they get into stuff they have no business. We are constantly chasing them out of the cat food among other things.

Once again, I hope Baby is fine...

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.

Now THAT is great advise !!! I argree - having these numbers ready BEFORE an emergency is a wonderful idea

When Chloe opened a bottle of baby proof Advil and licked the coating, I of course could not tell if she had ingested any, so I went to the vet right away. She told me anytime small dogs ingest something toxic, or if they might have, get bloodwork done even if no symptoms are present. The reason is longer term permanent damage can occur to major organs, including the liver. If we get to the vet soon enough and have tests run, they can induce vomiting or run IV fluids to wash the product out of their system before damage can be done. In fact, she said just one advil can actually kill a small dog or cat. Our babies are just too important to take a chance.
