Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hello,

If the neighbors are putting poison out for voles and Willow chews on one, can the poison harm Willow? I caught her chewing on the hind leg of one, I am pretty sure it was only the hind leg as she wasn't out there very long. Than today, she picked up a whole one that was dead and I told her to leave it, she did.

I think it would depend on what kind of poison. In situations like this, I always recommend calling your vet and speaking to him or her. A phone call is free Very Happy

I don't know what kind of poison it is. I guess I shouldn't say neighbor, it is someone in the neighborhood. I was just wondering if anybody had any experience with this. Thank you for your suggestion, I will call the vet on Monday. She isn't showing any symtoms from when she chewed on the hind leg, but she didn't have it for over a couple of seconds.

If you're concerned about poison, I would call now. Monday would absolutely be too late if there is something dangerous that could harm her.

I know that when Koda was chewing on a dead mouse he found in the basement of our old apartment, the vet did advise us to induce vomiting as a preventative measure. I would call and ask. Koda didn't have the mouse for more than a few seconds either, but he was definitely chewing on it.

I'm sure she's likely fine, but this isn't something you want to just wait until Monday about.

I think someone poisoned a rat and then it died in my back yard, or it might have gotten hit by a car. I saw it just before Siku grabbed it. It looked fine, except it had blood coming out of it's mouth. Shocked Siku, of course, thought it was the best thing ever and it took me a while to get it from her. She was fine.

Your pup will probably be fine, but you might want to find the phone number to the nearest 24hr vet, since it's already late, just in case she starts acting weird.

Short answer, yes it's possible that the poison can effect her quite seriously or even mildly in the form of an upset stomach. It will depend on the poison, potency, and amount ingested though.

Based on this info I would think she will be fine and not require medical attention but do keep a very close eye on her and be prepared to take quick action if things go downhill. Like Sara suggested, I'd have the 24 hour E-vet's number on hand just in case.

Thank you all for your help. She is fine but I will find the 24 hr vet number and put it on my fridge. She won't be going in the back yard till we can get out there in the spring and go over the yard. Again, thank you.

Glad to hear he's okay!

If it were me, I would see if I could find out what poison is being used and if it's pet friendly. That's really crappy of the neighborhood to be poisoning animals and NOT sending notices out to the neighborhood. People have pets!
