A Massive Shock... Warning

[jiggy 3,209]

Makes you wonder is it mould off of 1 particular weed or plant. My father used to bed the dogs outer pens in grass cutting years ago. There was probably lads lost dogs in the past and never went to vets and never knew what it was and just carried on as normal

Rip terrier and sorry for the loss mate . It will be a long time in recovery for the other dog but hopefully she will make a full recovery .

Sorry for your loss mate I've not red every post as I'm at work but are you sure it was mould as my dog had fits and seizeiers but that was down to him drinking from a puddle with anti freeze in

My initial thought was poison mate, I don't put any poison down obviously but I feared they had found some from the previous owners..

But the blood tests didn't show this, very early the vet said it was a type of toxin from mould, when they had theyre stomach pumped hay like material came up... I checked the big compost heap last night, they had obviously been digging in it and it matches what was in their stomach... plus as I lifted the grass there is a lot of white mould forming where the grass, vegetables etc are rotting....

Unfortunately everything is pointing to this being the case...

Both were fit and healthy at 1-30 by 2-45 Martha was being rushed to vets.....it's a shocker mate

I'm not sure mate... I'll ask the vets today

[NEWKID 27,132]

Just had a call from the vets and she is doing good, she's sat up and aware of what's going on.. she's passed blood earlier but this has stopped now... looks like she's going to pull through... tests on her kidneys now.... I'm heading in to see her after 10 so fingers crossed

Sorry to hear that mate. What a rotten way to learn! I should imagine many of us are more informed now, including myself. Atb

Been in to see her lads and she's doing really well... up on her feet, came out of her bed straight to me... very shaky but massively moved in the right direction...

Always said these beddy whippets are tough little b*****ds!! Lol
