labsnlurchers 39 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 The vets normally give an injection and then charcoal? if your vet did this then should be fine, if they look really ill then get them straight to the vets again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Salt water down their throat asap to make them sick, normally quicker for getting as much as possible out before taking them to the vets for a check up. I've heard soda crystals does the same job but i've never tried them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sue 1 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 i find it hard that the vets told you to use salt with them being pups ,its usually a injection of vitamin k and charcoal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 years ago 2 of my russells got into poison at the barn, their stomachs were pumped and then they were filled with charcoal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildhorse 1 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Spiderfly had it happen to a 1yr old lab we once had he ate 2 blocks of rat poison only caught him cause he came out of the barn licking his lips poured half a tub of salt down his neck whilst other half was on phone to the vets took him in and he was given more salt at vets followed by injection to make him puke wouldn't part with any of it so was given an injection and vet said that it would be guarenteed to make him sick phoned company that made poison and they said 1 block would have killed a smaller or weaker dog vet them gave him a tablet said he had never seen a dog not be sick after salt, jab & tablet vet let us bring him home and gave him a 50/50 chance got up in the morning and dog was great he was on vitamin K tablets for 10 days and he never looked back mind you the same dog ate a full bucket of barley and was as right as rain after that too. tyipical labs eat anything! Did you vet give you vitamin K tablets? Hope your lads are doing ok now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
