| Kandi is very sick - possible poisoning This afternoon Kandi suddenly became very lethargic, had very rapid breathing, trouble walking and a very slow heart rate. We took her to the vet immediately and they think it's a toxic poisoning of some kind. They suspect that she found a high blood pressure pill or something. They have been giving her IV fluids all afternoon and she's perked up a lot, but she's still not out of the woods. We're going to get her at 5:30 so that we can watch her overnight and take her to the ER vet tonight if it gets bad again. I feel awful! I am always careful about medicine, so I don't know how this happened! I'm scared and worried about her. Please send us some good thoughts tonight. Thank you, Judy

| Thank you so much. I'm a little calmer after talking to you, so thank you. Now I'm just watching the clock and waiting to go get her.

| Thanks everyone! She's home and doing much better. She's not eating except for trying to chew off the bandage they wrapped around her little leg after they took the IV out. She was happy to see us and immediately wanted John to pick her up. They gave her atropine (not sure of the spelling) to help raise her heart rate, so we'll be checking when it wears off in a few more hours. If she can keep her heart rate up, then the vet says that she'll be fine. If not, then we have instructions to take her into the ER vet. He left instructions with them just in case. So, we're holding her a lot and offering lots of water. Hypoglycemia has never been an issue for this little girl, so the not eating doesn't worry me. Plus, I think the IV had some nutrients in it. Is that right? Thanks everyone! We are doing a big cleaning and searching of the house this weekend to try to figure out what happened. In the meantime, we're limiting her movements and watching her.
