So guilty :(

Oh dear These smart dogs, they cause us so much worry! Hoping she's doing OK and will make a full recovery.

[Phteven]

I hope she's back to speed soon.

Hope your puppy makes a full speedy recovery xoxox

Having been a vet nurse for many years before having kids, I can't tell you how many times I've seen pets that have eaten ratsak, and I can assure you that not one of them ever meant to let their pet get to it. It's an accident and unfortunately they happen. You'd be amazed how determined some of them were to actually get to the ratsak!

You've done the right thing and been to the vet asap. I've had a lot of people that didn't realise that they need to be seen asap to try to purge as much as possible from their system, and many people assume their pet is fine because they can't see any outward sign until it's sometimes too late.

So forgive yourself for making a small mistake and take comfort in knowing that you are doing everything right by your precious pup ♥

How's your Bella travelling?

[Astrolady]

Thanks for checking in Chloe. I did sort of forget about this thread LOL.

Yeah she is doing good. I think she would definitely be showing signs by now if she was going to, since it has been 4 days. The mouse that ate the ratsak block the day before turned up dead today. We go back to the vet on Wednesday for a check up, and to check on her weight. If she has had a growth spurt her medication has to be increased. So I think she's in the clear. Phew.

So glad she's ok!

[Mrs O'M]

So glad to hear your puppy is feeling better and I hope you are too!

[Phteven]

Good to hear that your puppy is on the mend

[Astrolady]

Well I don't think we are out of the woods just yet. I have noticed 3 dark spots on her chest today. Looks like bruising It's a public holiday here today, so can't get her into the vet until tomorrow to be checked out. We went to the vet last wednesday for a check up and they said we'd have to keep an eye on her for up to two months.

[Calluna]

hope she's ok.

[Phteven]

I hope it's just from running into something.

[Trillian]

She might be a bit more prone to bruising because the ratsak will have thinned her blood - not much different to what warfarin/heparin/clexane does to people. I'm sure she will be fine, but definitely an idea to keep a closer eye on her till you can get her to the vet again.

[trishalishous]

poor puppy! Hope shes better soon!

[Astrolady]

Had her to the vet and he believes it is just pigmentation marks, as all of her other vitals were good. We have to keep an eye on them and if they change in anyway to get her back to the vet.

[Trillian]

That's a relief Kat!

Phew....that's a good one to get checked out ASAP because dark spots that appear quickly can be a sign of internal bleeding. Glad the vet thinks it's just pigmentation. I hope everything turns out well.
