What can I do if my dog is given poison-anything2007-11-25 2:50:41

Here in Thailand, if your dog annoys a neighbour, by barking too much or chasing motorbikes, they simply poison it! Probably with Rat poison...

I am worried that that may happen sometime to my lovely Girls.

So if I ever saw them looking sick is there anything I could do?

Should I have an antidote standing by....? If so what?

This happened to my dog in the UK we believe someone was poisoning local dogs. We didnt know until late at night when he started having fits etc it was awful to see by the time he got to the vets it was no good the vet thought he would be ok but he died in the morning.

There is nothing you can do if it happens once its in there its in. But keep your dogs inside with you and keep an eye when you take them out if they sniff anything on the floors make sure they arent eating it before you move on.

Start digging.

You could give it a bone...

Am I right saying in that country they eat dogs? If so just phone the nearest restaurant. I'm sure they love hot dogs...LOL

All depends on what poison is administered.

You could find out what poisons are used and get appropriate antidotes in preparation. Also learn the correct procedure in giving dogs the kiss of life.

I wouldn't recommend trying to treat poisoning by yourself. You'll need to have an idea of a local emergency vet clinic, for then they can properly help your dogs, if they're ever poisoned.
