| Zoe drank Draino!!!! I feel like the worst dog/human mom ever Long story short...pipe in the kitchen got a leak and while my mom and I were putting a bucket under the sink, Zoe licked the puddle of water which had draino in it! I gave her some milk and water, and my mom ran her to the Vet. I hate myself I think I caught her right away, but I worry since she is small. Why me? If anything happens to her I'll never forgive myself

| Milk and water is the worst thing to do when a dog drink draino . You should go see your vet . |

| Oh my gosh, you are not a bad mommy accidents happens. Please let us know what the vet says. I will have him in my prayers. I found this info, http://www.englandrunvet.com/safety....ehold_products In case of accidental exposure to cleaning products, it is generally recommended to flush the skin (or mouth) with plain water to wash away remaining chemicals, then call in to your veterinary clinic for further instructions. In the AAPCC 1990 report, 5.9% (2,217 animals) of all non-drug poison exposures were inquiries following exposure to cleaning products, with 80 of those animals being moderately to severely affected. |

Ashleigh-You are NOT a bad mom, you reacted quickly and your mom took your baby to the Dr., that is what matters! I'm sure everything will be fine. Keep us posted.

The vet is keeping her for a few hours. He said she looks fine, not like she drank much at all (since I had just done dishes and there was lots of water in the pipes, it was diluted). He said her pupils were not dialated, which is good, and she had no leisions/damage in her mouth. He said it was most important that we got her there so soon (in like 10 minutes). They are going to do this treatment every hour and keep an eye on her, but he said she's most likely going to be fine and she probably just licked the puddle once and stopped. Thanks so much everyone else. I appreciate it. I will keep you updated.

| Let us know how your baby is doing. There is no reason for any of us to jump on you because you are already blaming yourself enough. For future reference, you can always call your local Poison Control Unit for info and a referral.. |

| Bless your heart. If only we had eight pairs of eyes, we could prevent some of these things from happening. They are so quiet and so quick to head straight for any puddle anywhere. It sounds like she's going to be alright thanks to your quick actions.

| Thanks ladies. I need 8 pairs of eyes. Between her and my 15 month old trying to get into things in the kitchen I am losing it. If the pipe wouldn't have been old, it wouldn't have leaked. Otherwise, I have locks on ALL my cabinets and I wouldn't even have used the stupid draino. I should have just called a plumber and called it a day.
