An accident...prayers for Major please

lv4dogs - I feel horrible about Kaige!

I'm so sorry, I went searching after I posted this thread to see if anyone else had problems with this and was so shocked to see you had posted the same on the same day.

They only gave Major a low dose of Vit. K and that's it. He wasn't showing symptoms and it didn't show in his blood so they didn't want to give him too much. Plus we weren't 100% positive he ate it, but we are now because I found blue in his poop.

No bleeding yet, that is a good thing. He's good right now but a little hyper, we're going for a walk soon.

Thank you so much everyone!

Oh no!

I'm glad to hear he's doing okay now. I was so scared looking through this thread... I'm so happy he's okay.

Hugs to you and Major. I'm sure he'll pull through.

Oh my gosh! I just have time to pop in, and I saw this! (((((HUGS TO YOU AND MAJOR)))))
I have to make sure that I get my life calmed down so I can get here more, and keep up with what is happening..

Get Well Soon Major!
Steph, Jesse, and Splinter

How is Major today, Maria?

Yes, how is he today?

Just saw this thread! I'm so sorry for Major! Lots of good thoughts and prayers heading his way from everyone here!

Major is doing really good, thanks. He acts as if he never ate it. It was very scary though - thank you for all your concern and prayers.

**luvofallhorses** · 09-18-2005, 01:13 PM

I am so glad he's doing better.

**Buddy Blaze Lover** · 09-18-2005, 06:50 PM

Oh no!! But I am glad that Major probably didn't eat the rat poison!!

We once had a beagle that ate rat poison, and we had to pump his stomach to get the poison out...not fun, and it was scary!

Major glad you are doing ok. I hope he decided he didn't like it and won't ever eat it again.

I am really glad that he is doing better too.. Gave us a scare.

Glad to hear he's acting fine!

They gave him a dose at the vets & didn't send you home w/ any?
Did you call them back & tell them you found blue feces? I don't mean to scare you but this is nothing to joke around with. Sometimes the symptoms can take up to a couple weeks to show, once symptoms show it is usually too late to do anything.
There's more symptoms to look for other than those, blood not clotting properly if he gets cut, bruises easily, color of the gums, bleeding gums, coughing, bloody &/or off colored stools, diarrhea, vomiting, hemorraghing, loss of appetite, lethargic, hair loss etc... almost any symptom can occur from poisoning.

If I were you I'd call the vet back & request some Vit K pills for home treatment. They should give you a script without seeing him and the Vit K is pretty cheap too.

Either way, but *especially* if you don't do the home treatment I'd get a coagultaion panel run in 2-3 weeks, it tests the clotting ability of his blood.

I wish you's the best of luck! Hugs to you both.
