A husband living in a multi-dog household ought to know that rat poison is NOT a safe way to eradicate vermin...but mine thought he had hidden it well under the shed.

Thankfully, I go out with my dogs when they are in the yard and noticed within 5 minutes that 6 of them were unusually engrossed in something. It was a package of Warfarin-based rat poison. Very quickly I syringed hydrogen peroxide into each of them, and they all vomited. I repeated the peroxide and everybody vomited again (I thought). I had not actually witnessed one of the dogs vomiting, but presumed she had. Never presume.

Off to the vet for Vitamin K1 injections and bloodwork which revealed that the one girl was affected. She is now on Vitamin K by mouth for the next 5 weeks. A very scary episode and one that I hope none of you will ever experience. Would you know what to do if it happened to your dog?
