whispersmom2 · 12-20-2005, 10:52 AM

AWWWWWWWWW, the 20-20 HINDsight we all wish we had as foresight. I am so glad your little fur-baby is alright. Since you have a 15 month old hooman, please contact your poison control center for stickers with the phone number AND Mr. Yuck stickers for other things..
This is in no way a criticism, so please do not be offended by my posts..

I'm so glad to hear that she is probably unharmed! Thank goodness

. I am sure that scared the crap out of you and that you must be soooo relieved to hear the vet saying such positive things! I am soooo happy for you. Please let us know when you get her home and that she is fine and dandy.

Thanks. I wrote down the number and put it on our fridge and taped it on the phone and put it in my cell phone. Luckly, I had the bottle still and read what to do on it. My first instinct would be to induce vomitting, how I don't know, but with Draino, you do NOT do that.

toninm · 12-20-2005, 10:59 AM

OMG! I cant believe that, I am so sorry about that. you will have to let us know how she is if she is ok????

fasteddie · 12-20-2005, 11:03 AM

Ashleigh: I hope Zoe continues to be okay, accidents can happen to anyone. Good job in reading the back of the bottle and rushing her to the vet!

Latuya · 12-20-2005, 11:07 AM

Please don't be too hard on yourself. It was an accident and I of all people know how you feel!!!! I'm sure your little one will be just fine and it's very good you got Zoe to the vet quickly. If it had not been for my husbands quick reflexes to grab Gus and just go, he would not be here today. Please keep us informed on how Zoe's doing. I will keep the both of you in thought.

While I'll profess to not knowing the proper antidote, I do know that with any poisoning that is caustic (like the lye in Draino), you do NOT induce vomiting because then you have esophageal and mouth damage from it coming back UP. Essentially you could cause additional damage.

I'm glad that Zoe seems fine.

And I did the same things w/ my pipes once, you know draino will clear drains, cause it sure eats a nice hole in pipes. Sink wasn't clogged any more though

Great job on getting Zoe immediate attention!!! You are sooooo good! I was scared to death from the title of your post, and am so pleased that you reacted so quickly! What a great mom you are, dear!

Please keep us posted on Zoe. I am sure she will be fine, judging from your last post.

Good luck!

That is exactly what happened. It ate the pipe, so essentially, it's not clogged anymore

lol

I'm going to call the vet right now to check on her.

Carinhosamulher · 12-20-2005, 12:29 PM

Uh, if you read the full post she said her mom did take the dog to the vet. And some people and vets recommend milk as it can sometimes absorb the poison.

Ashleigh · 12-20-2005, 12:44 PM

I called the vet and they said she is doing fine. that she ws just as good as when we left her, if not, better. They are going to continue the hourly treatment they are giving her, then we can pick her up at 3!!! They said she is going to be ok. Thank GOD!

I am so thankful to have your support. I felt so much better after hearing your kind words.

Biddy's Mom · 12-20-2005, 12:46 PM

Great news! I'm glad to here she's doing better! You better give her lots of TLC tonight

fourdez · 12-20-2005, 12:51 PM

Oh, these things happen. I once put Clorax in cup to have it ready to put in the washer. My 1-1/2 year old son climbed on the table and took a drink, thinking it was apple juice. Luckily, he is now 26 and doing well, he survived inspite of his dumb mother. I bet it will never happen to you again !! Thank God she is going to be fine.

red98vett · 12-20-2005, 12:54 PM

I hope she's going to be ok !!! That's very scary but flying to the vet was the best thing to do -

keeping your baby in my thoughts and hopefully she hardly got any when she licked the water....Bless your heart - you must have been in a panic ....Good luck

Zeus' Mom · 12-20-2005, 12:56 PM

I'm so glad to hear that your baby is doing well.
