BS40liam 203 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looking for some advice, before I phone the vets, but basically Friday night one of the dogs killed a rat in the garden ( I wasn't home but my misses assumed it was the terrier pup ) anyway since last night one of the whippets was being sick and not eating so I thought I'd just keep an eye on her and now she's still being sick it's a yellowy fluid but this morning g it's been a red/ orange colour I'm thinking now it may have been the whippet that's killed the rat, if it was her could this be because the rat has possibly eaten poison? And now it's affecting the dog? Any suggestions welcome otherwise I will get her to the vets ASAP. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 secondary poisoning is very rare nowadays with the new rodenticides mate. it would have to have eaten a good amount over several days. There is a posibility of it being leptosporosis but it doesnt sound like it., are the dogs jabs up to date?, yellow fluid is normally bile, is there signs of grass in it?. is the dog still drinking?

unicornleather 60 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I would get to the vet asap, better safe than sorry, toxins can damage and break down internal organs, the longer in their system the worse it gets, good luck, hope your dog's ok Quote Link to post

BS40liam 203 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Don't think it has anything to do with the rat, the other whippets being sick aswell now so must be a bug Quote Link to post
