Yesterday, if my dog’s life wasn’t in danger, I would have killed him!
I had a Dr. appointment yesterday and had to leave at around 3:15-ish. I grabbed one of those small boxes of raisins for a snack in the car and then, all hell broke loose five minutes before I had to leave (aka USP guy came and drove Tobey Dog bonkers, and then take Tobey Dog to poo). So in the rush, I put the remaining two boxes on the top of our cabinet, around 6 foot tall. Somehow, that got bumped and the boxes fell when I was gone, and guess who helped themselves to the 3oz of puppy poison?
Hubby and I walk in the door, I see the torn up raisin boxes and start SCREAMING at hubby to get in the car, we’re going to the vet NOW! (We had to wait an hour at the Doggy Dr. because only one was there and it was so close to closing.)
The Doggy Dr. said it was a good thing that we caught it an hour after it happened and not a day or so, so he sent us to the Doggy ER for Tobey’s treatment, which included making him vomit (they said he pucked up a lot of raisins), force feeding him charcoal (to bind with any that got in his intestines) and lots and lots of IV fluids.
He was happy to see me this morning after his all night hospital stay. Blood levels were all normal, but he still had to go to his regular Dr. for one more day of IV treatment. If his check up and blood levels are all okay, he can come home tonight and stay!
I don’t know why he likes to scare me like this! Earlier this year it was chocolate chip cookies and now raisins! He has major food issues. And I thought his barking problem was bad!
