My Dog Skeeter
Ok fine, so maybe he did get just a little bit of help on some of these, but, it should be noted that he had no assistance when he once dined on "D-con du jour" and was promptly transported to a nearby animal hospital where they induced vomiting and administered other medications. He thought it was dessert, but was not allowed to enjoy it the second time around.
MESSAGE TO ALL PET OWNERS: Many dogs and other domestic animals are lost each day due to the ingesting of rat poison. Many people have rat poison in the garage, or around the house, but may not realize just how extremely dangerous a risk this poses to your pets. Quite often, dogs will eat the poison and several days may elapse before the owner is aware that the pet has ingested the poison - this is usually a death sentence for the dog as it causes hemophilia in the animal and they bleed to death internally. We caught Skeeter in the act of eating the poison so we were lucky. Lucky in that we saved his life, but it cost us around $500 for this one short sighted incident. I highly recommend that if you are a pet owner that you remove any and all rat poison traps on your premises. Apparently, the stuff is pretty tasty and if your pet gets into it without your knowledge, they could die a horrible death in just a matter of a few days.
