Gucci ate a piec of poison for mices I need help. I don't know when but Gucci ate a piece of poison, the kind that looks like a green block. I found a little piece on her mouth, I wash her mouth and took the little piece out of her mouth. She seems fine. But I dont know what to do. I dont even know where she got it from. I called poison control but they request a $55 dollar consultation fee which I dont have at this time. Please pray for my girl. I will keep you all posted. |
Did you call the vet? |
Oh my gosh...I hope she'll be okay. I think you should call your vet! I did a search for poison control and came up with the one that charges $55, so I can't help you there! Please check with your vet...I'm worried about little Gucci! |
Thank you everyone. My vet is close today. Im looking for an emergency vet in my area but havent found one yet. I call poison control and I was told to take her to the vet so they can start decontamination. I dont even know what kind of poison she ate. Im freaking out. I will try to keep u all posted. |
OH please try to find an emergency vet asap...there has to be one close to you.....I hope Gucci is ok. Your vet doesn't have an answering service or anything....being in NYC--there has to be an ERVet near you somewhere.... |
I really don't know, but maybe it would help if you could induce vomiting using a tablespoon or two of hydrogen peroxide. |
Find the box that the poison came in and see what remedy they suggest for ingesting it. It might be to induce vomiting. Then again, it might not. You might also find the active ingredient and google it for help. But please at least call an emergency vet right away. This is not about money. |

Here Marie ...I'm looking for numbers....start here.... National Capital Poison Control FREE CALL 1 800 222 1222 SHoot - that will direct you to your center...I'm still looking Finger Lakes Poison & Drug Information Center University of Rochester Medical Center 601 Elmwood Avenue, Box 321 Rochester, NY 14642 TDD/TYY: (585) 273-3854 (TTY) Long Island Regional Poison & Drug Information Center Winthrop University Hospital 259 First Street Mineola, NY 11501 TDD/TYY: (516) 924-8811 (Suffolk); (516) 747-3323 (Nassau) New York City Poison Control Center NYC Bureau of Labs 455 First Avenue, Room 123, Box 81 New York, NY 10016 TDD/TYY: (212) 689-9014 (TDD) |
Hopeully he didn't injest it! |
What I understood was Marie doesn't know where she got the poison, so she probably wouldn't have the box to look at. I hope that neighbor that doesn't like Gucci didn't do anything! I'm busy sewing, but had to come take a break to check on little Gucci! I'm worried sick! |
Oh my gosh, wondering how she is doing?? |
I agree with what everyone has had to say. It's been a few hours since you first post and I really hope your yorkie is ok! Please don't take this as me being judgmental because in no way is it meant that way. I keep my vets number and the emergency vets number in my study in a quick to find space. I also have them programmed in my cell phone. Please let us know how the two of you are doing. I just read Connie's post and I'm worried too. If you have no poison in your place and a neighbor that doesn't like your yorkie please contact the police. I've heard too many stories like this... Last year in Toronto we had someone putting poison in meat and leaving it in parks. There are a lot of sick people out there. |
Marie....I just spoke with my ER Vet Clinic in Houston and they were really helpful. They said ... LOOK VERY CAREFULLY at the piece you took out of her mouth...if you FEEL she didn't ingest any bits of it they you may be ok. did she really eat any or did you grab it in time ? ALSO ....you need to find out WHAT IS THE INGREDIENT in that particular Bait. There are 2 different poisons Mice Bait uses... one will cause brain damage - that is not good the other will cause Internal Bleeding. IF you think she ingested it...you want it to be this one because they can put her on Vitamin K for a few weeks and many times it turns out ok..... I'm praying for you Marie....that's a scary thing |
Villette, you are wonderful have I told you that? Just wanted to tell ya. ;) |

I felt so bad for Marie and then hearing they want 55 $ for a phone call ? I learned something tonight. Poison Control for Humans is funded by the govt. ANIMAL Poison Control is NOT. How much does that suck ? Like our government can't afford a 24 hour help center for Animals...that's sad....The guy at the ER Clinic told me that. IF ANYONE Ever needs to call a Emergency Weekend Clinic I always have the number close. They answer on the first ring and will answer any questions. When Chanel actually picked up a toad and spit it out once I called in a panic and they were wonderful...laughing ...but wonderful. Toads in Houston are not poisonous |

GOOD LUCK and keep us posted ok ? I know you're trying to get her in & I'm so sorry for this..Hang in there and stay calm ok ? The Humane Society may help if they're open tommorrow...I really hope they are. Big Hugs to you & Gucci |

How is Gucci.....I hope she is ok...please let us know soon sweetie! Hugs to ya... Villette-thanks for that great info...I sure hope it helps her! |
Marie wanted me to tell you guys thanks and she did go to the ER Vet...I feel so bad...they turned her away :( but she\'s going to the Humane Society 1st thing tommorrow... she\'s really upset so I\'m posting for her... but Gucci needs prayers...and Marie...hang in there...I know you\'re scared...Keep thinking positive thoughts and hopefully Gucci didn\'t swallow any. |
Turned her away?? Why? Hang in there girl, we will all be praying she\'s ok. |
omg..I just read this post. What happened? Did Marie end up going to another vet? Keep us updated. |

I remember we took Chanel in when she was a tiny puppy but can\'t remember if we paid by check or it had to be cash.... but the ER Weekend Clinics are tough about fees.... |
They probably turned her away because she couldn\'t pay up front. That sucks! When I had Cali in for her surgery at the ER vet this week I had to leave a 2600.00 deposit! Not everyone can do this. If that\'s th case I would be hapy to help her with the er visit fee. I don\'t think she can just fo home and wait.Do you think any exterminators might know something? |
Turned her away? Was it because she couldn\'t pay? Could we all donate thru paypal or something? If Gucci did eat any of this stuff, the sooner the better for treatment! I\'m so worried! Hugs to Marie and little Gucci! How can they turn away a little yorkie in need! Don\'t they have any compassion! This upsets me so! Prayers going out for Gucci and Marie!!! |
How is Gucci????? Is she showing any symptoms?????? If she\'s fine, I\'d think everything is OK and she didn\'t eat any of the poison cuz it would have been harmful by now. Fingers crossed and prayers ascend, Julie |
