Immediate vet care is very important when they are sick.

RIP Shasta

I definitely agree with you on this. The first sign of blood coming out I would of been rushing to the vet.I would not want to wait and see if my little yorkie is going to die in the middle of the night.ASAP to a vet.

So from dealing with vets the neighbors n the police then having to put my dog to sleep bc she was suffering an agonizing death then having to bury her has been very heart wrenching , so no sorry didn't have time to jump on here in the middle of all that to explain bc I was shocked at what n why this happened to my dog . Thank you for those who were being nice Her name was Shasta she was black n white very tiny bc she was the smallest from her liter . It amazes me how rude ppl can be seriously !!!!!

About boric acid:
The National Pesticide Information Center considers boric "very low to low in toxicity" to animals when eaten. If, however, a dog ingests a roach poison that contains phosphorus, it must receive immediate treatment before the poison attacks its nervous system. Once the poison attacks the dog's nervous system, its chances for survival diminish significantly.
Symptoms
Boric Acid, also sold as Borax, may cause the dog to vomit or froth at the mouth, but will not poison the dog. If the dog ingests a roach poison that contains phosphorus, the first symptoms that an owner might observe could include cramping, vomiting, abdominal pain or convulsions.

I am not sure your baby ingested boric acid....if the dog gets enough of the boric acid, PLUS phospherous, you get symptoms of neurological issues....nothing mentioned about hemorrhaging.....did you have toxicology studies done during the autopsy.....you did have a post done on the baby, right???? Especially if you are pursuing legal avenues.....

This breaks my heart, I am so very sorry for your loss...may Shasta now rest in peace.
I'm thinking this sounds more like rat poisoning to me...but at this point it doesn't matter I guess.

Hi everyone. I'm back on my island with my little yorkie. She survived chocolate poisoning. Th doctor put her on Purina En wet food. She had been on a raw diet or homemade cooked diet. Never commercial dog food. I'm scared not to do what the vet said, but everything I have ever read says home cooked is so much healthier . Has anyone used En after Acute Pancreatitis Attach?
Also there is a surgical tape wraped around her little leg that she keeps biting at.
It's tight and I tried to remove it with my round tip scissor but she wouldn't hold still. My vet is on another island. Are there any home solutions for removing surgical tape from a little hairy leg ? Thanks so much.

I don't have any advice on what you are asking, but thought I'd drop in to say how happy I am that your little yorkie survived the poisoning. I trust that you will get some sort of answers here from some experieced YT's regarding your question. Cheers!

i just put some veggie oil on bandage and then gave her a bath with cider vinegar and a little Dawn detergent and it came right off. Now she smells good looks good and is comfy sleeping on my stomach ,all curled up.God is so good and I am sooooo grateful. Thank you.
