Thanks for the post, wasn't aware there was a new kind of rat poison. Not that we would ever have it around, but still good to know. Sounds as bad as poisoning by antifreeze. So sorry about the poor lab and the owners.

Sorry to hear about Dexter.

I can't remember the specific names, but there are two kinds of rat poison and one is way more damaging and does cause internal bleeding. From what I can tell the amount of time between when they eat it, and when they are treated makes a BIG difference in their chances of making it. I know that our vets always ask the clients to bring in the exact packaging of whatever poison was eaten so they know how to treat it.
