Yesterday my Uncle (Who is Disabled with Emphesema and Congestive Heart Failure) was out watching us Work on the Farm Cleaning up before Winter.He Has a Little Miniature Doberman Pincher that he thinks the world of and where ever He goes the Dog goes with Him.While we were Cleaning up we put out Rat Poison out in the Rat Holes in the Barn to Kill what rats are Around Eating the Corn from the Hogs Stable.While we had our Backs Turned she Snuck into the Tool room where we had put the Poison so none of the other Animals could get to it.Well we turned Around and my Cousin was Cussing because she had Picked up one of the Blocks and had Eaten Half of it. :cry: After repeated Attempts at running my Finger down Her throat to make Her Yack All that I Accomplished was some Serious Bites on my Fingers.I ran to the House to try to reach a Vet that was Open on Sunday Around Here.I finally got thru to one that was Open Close to 100 miles Away and Asked them What I could give a Dog to make it Ralph since it had eaten Rat Poison.They Actually told me to Bring it to them. :mad: :mad: With the Friggin Rat poison and the Wrapper that Came with it.They told me that they Weren't Able to disclose that Info over the phone and that they ould have to Induce Vomiting there. :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes:
OK I tried the Country Vets House.No Answer and Left a Message.A few Minutes went by at pacing the Floor when the Phone rang and it was the Vets wife.Since the Vet was on Vacation this weekend she still knew what to do.Either Dump Peroxide down Her Throat or Dump Salt in Her Mouth until she Ralped.I hurried outside with the Salt shaker,Peroxide and Syringe.100cc's of Peroxide and a few Shots of Salt we Had Piles of Rat Poison all over the Place along with lots of Wild Ass looking Foam.Just to make Sure I got it all out I repeated the Process a few more times Until she Started Biting me.
So Rule Number 1 when trying to Don't try to Gag a Dog with your Finger.It Don't Work.
Rule #2 Don't Trust City Doctors all they are out for is a Big Paycheck.The damn Dog would have been Dead before I got Her there. :icon_rolleyes:
I forgot that Alka Seltzer in Hamburger Balls makes dogs Puke Pink looking Foam and it would have made a really Colorful pile of Puke with the Kibbles and Bits she Ate Earlier.
Well today she was Running and Playing up a Storm in the Yard.
:laugh: :laugh: ;)
Heh we have a cat on our farm that does belong to us... although you wouldn't believe it. She goes away for weeks at a time and will pop back now and then to check we are still living in the same location or she will come back when shes ill. Usually because she drank too much rat poison to ever be good for her... but then she also eats the rats too... We just get the pig man to give her a shot of pennesillin and we give her whisky and milk. Next morning she will be gone, back down the farm to cause trouble lol.
Although the rats on our farm are like super rats. We put poison down but still have to go and shoot them a couple of evenings every week. They drink the poison like its an expensive cocktail then wallow around drunk like (which is when we go to shoot em) but they never die from drinking it lol.
If the rats don't respond to the poison all you have to do is by the little poison pellets and soak em in muriatic acid. For some god-awful reason they will still eat it and it's really funny when you go down and see where one has exploded.

And I just Noticed I put down the Wrong Damn Title for my Post. :oops: :oops: :oops: Especially on Veterans Day. :o :o I meant in Now way to be Dissin' Vets Yesterday.
peroxide works damn fast. You're also supposed to do it every 10-15 minutes until it starts coming out all clear. It's good for when they get into dark chocolate too, or charcoal briquettes soaked in lighter fluid.
