poisond while out lamping

[davehunter1 14]

went out last thursday with my bitch and my mates pup of her ad a few runs went home to get another two dogs as these were f***** when we got home his pup was fitting took it the vet they had it for a week and fed it charcoal got it back and turns out its blind they dont know if it will get its sight back the only thing we can think of is it drank out of a puddle does anyone no what sort of chemical wouled cause this

[JLR 42]

Could be some sort of insectiside (sp) or growth chemical used by farmers to spray on crops. Fuel from a truck/tractor. Could be something someone has dumped. Doubt you will find out.

 

Shocking though. Hope the dog makes a full recovery. Never heard of that happening before though. Everyone allows their dogs to drink from puddles!

Some years ago me and my mate was out lamping and his young bitch started to fit and went blind and it ended up dying vet saint it had been poisoned with strickning not a very nice ending

depends what sort of land you where on mate i know antifreeze can be nasty and do damage but depends where puddle was ie near tyre tracks farm yard ect more info would help like what type of crop was near...... i do a lot of dealing with pestacides herbacides and fungasides

Antifreeze is pretty lethal stuff for dogs and the worst part about it is it tastes sweet to them so they lap it up.Lost a dog to it myself years ago same kind of thing fitting, blindness, no cure not a nice ending at all.

very true, i had a mate who lost his 2 dogs to antifreeze but also some farmers use a chemical which contains carbendizene which is absolutly lethal if it gets into water the slightest bit can cause the same effects if not kill its been banned for a few year now but some do still use it if they have some left in stock,so if they been spraying for a fungal problem or pesticide then it may of been used...i make a point of taking a bottle of water out with me and try my best not to let the dogs drink from puddles,sterams or ponds atb steve

Farmyards can be a nightmare,, had two dogs run onto a farmyard recently after a long chase,, si I knew they would drink out of any puddle they could find,, got the dogs back in,, an one was choking all the way home,, you never know what shites is lying about farms,, deisel, antifreez, fertilizer, cleaners,, etc

did they test her for leptospirosis , im sure they would have. this disease can cause the effects your dog had and been known to happen to dogs who have been innoculated against the disease

Lepto wouldn`t be as quick acting ,, would it ??

No word of a lie, when i was working up at the farm doing turkeys this christmas, a few farmers where helping out from other yards for there free turkey, theyve put poison down that the foxes eat and survive from but when a dog gets the blood into its system its f****d and eventually dead dog, ive told people who live near mine to watch out, dont kno how true it is but this c*nt shoots dogs and said to me if i see yours of a lead it'll stay a puppy, some basterds about

................whats the name of the poison the c$nt is using.....and by the sounds of it he could do with some in his tea !!!!!!!

[stav11 32]

i do believe lepto attacks the liver more than anything else then shuts the nerve system down which could cause a fit which could possibly cause brain damage leading to the blindness

but for it to happen to the lads dog that quick i would think it was more likely to be a chemical or antifreeze.... if was you davehunter i would of went back an took a sample from the puddle atb

Wieils disease,, Leptospirosis,, usually shows, when contracted but then dissapears, sometimes for years, it`s when it comes back that it`s lethal,, and untreatable.

 

I think,, thats what I`ve always thought anyway.
