Oh no! I hope he feels better and he's okay:( :)

I agree, Hannah. If he ate poison, the effects may not show up right away. I sure hope little Thor is alright! :(

Get to the vet. Mine told me it can take up to 8 days to see affects and then it might not be a good outcome.

Unless it is an older roach product (which would contain arsenic) you are probably dealing with the poison Phosphorus:

PHOSPHORUS

Clinical signs:

Vomiting and diarrhea with a garlic odor to the breath and vomitus, abdominal pain, bleeding, shock and death all occur.

Treatment:

Vomiting should be induced if possible, followed by pumping and flushing the stomach and administering medication to neutralize the phosphorus, and mineral oil to coat the stomach. IV dextrose is also useful in most patients.

It could also be Borate, Boron or Boratic acid:

Clinical signs Signs include ptyalism, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rebound cranial abdominal tenderness, ataxia, hyperesthesia, tremors, muscle weakness, metabolic acidosis, seizures, coma, and death. Mild hyperthermia, shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration occur.

Treatment Emesis or gastric lavage should be induced if ingestion occurred within 2 hours. Although borates are poorly adsorbed by activated charcoal, it is commonly recommended (in addition to adminstration of a cathartic). To be effective in removing borates from a patient, activated charcoal would have to be administered in dosages 5 to 10 times normal recommendations. This clinically impractical. The use of activated charcoal in patients known to have ingested borates is therefore not recommended. Persistent vomiting and seizures are controlled as needed. Hemodialysis is known to be effective in humans and should be considered in pets.

Signs

Salivation
Diarrhea, possibly bloody
Abdominal pain
Rebound cranial abdominal tenderness
Ataxia
Hyperesthesia
Tremors
Muscle weakness
Seizures
Coma
Mild hyperthermia
Shock
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Death

EMERGENCY TREATMENT

Procedures

1. Secure the airway and ventilate as necessary.
2. Administer supplemental oxygen.
3. Secure venous access. Collect blood and urine for laboratory testing.
4. Control seizures.
5. Treat hyperthermia if present.
6. Administer crystalloids fluids to maintain perfusion and blood pressure.

Decontaminate

GI EXPOSURE (INGESTION)

Induce emesis if recent ingestion and if signs are not present.

Gastric lavage if signs are present after ingestion (p. 52).

Administcr saline cathartic unless diarrhea already present.

I will be praying for Thor! Good luck!

Just came on and saw this, Hannah. I really hope he'll be fine.

I tossed and turned all night thinking of you and your baby:( I hope he's okay, please let us know.

Thanks:love:

How is Thor Doing? OMG I hope he is ok. I'll Keep praying for him!

How is Thor doing today?

how is Thor doing? What did the vet say? Thinking of you .... hope all is well.

Thanks for everyones good advise. We watched Thor closely last night and he's been fine today too. The brand he ate was Combat...my BF made a call and did some research and told me that he should be fine. And, he's been fine. Still really scary. I hide it under a chair in my sisters room, and when she came back from college for Tgiving...it must have gotten moved. Anyways,
thanks

ps, apparently, the ingredients in the combat are the same used in some tick and flea meds...maybe he'll be REALLY free of ticks this month!:rolleyes:

That's good to hear, whew! I'm sure that you are very tired today and I hope that you can get some much deserved rest!
