I'm sorry about Ralfie's accident, but dont blame yourself. Accidents do happen no matter how careful you are sometimes. Just remember you rushed him to the vet right away and did the right thing for him. I hope he's home soon and all better.

I hope Ralfie's going to be O.K! He's in my prayers. Please don't feel guilty. Accidents happen, and I'm sure Ralfie isn't mad at you.

I just want to wish you and Ralfie a happy reunion

I KNOW that it was an accident. Please don't feel guilty. You were right there with him and got him help ASAP, that is what matters. They're just like toddlers, you don't even know there's something for them to get into---until they DO

He's gonna be okay

Thank you so much everyone, I really really appreciate the well wishes and prayers! I'm soooo glad I found this site. I couldn't sleep last night, I just cried and felt like I should have caught it sooner, but thank you for helping me to feel not as guilty.

I was able to pick Ralfie up this morning at 7 am

He seemed sleepy and his ears were droopy, so I was still really worried. I had to go to traffic court (yuck) so I had my mom watch him while I was there, that felt like forever! I HATED having to leave him like that when he still wasn't 100% But fortunately my mom came to my apt to watch him, and she said he curled up on my pillow and slept the whole time.

He's FINALLY acting like his old self

Sorry it took me a while to post back, I was enjoying his cuddles & hyper self. He's totally back to normal now, hes eating well and right back to sniffing the floor for anything he can find

no lesson learned there! But this has made me so so paranoid, I know I tried my best before, I guess this is reinforcement of what can go wrong so quickly. The poison control hotline told me that 1/10 of the pill could be a fatal dosage. I was too freaked out to even acknowledge that last night. Today, I am soooo grateful to YT prayers, even the doctor was happily surprised at how well he did.

They did say he had a little blood in his stool this morning, but I'm thinking it was the medicine bc he pooped a little while ago and was fine. They gave me some medicine to give him for the next 10 days, and Im supposed to try to keep him quiet and relaxed. Easier said than done!

Again, thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful
