[RC] dogs and Quest wormer...READ this it could save a life - Paddi
My 100 pound lab cross
Buddy spent a very expensive weekend in the emergency clinic
My husband wormed the horses with
Quest and then decided to give Sid a cookie because he was mad. Sid spit out the
cookie and my dog grabbed it and ate it. There was very little Quest on the
cookie.
The dog Buddy seemed fine, ate his
dinner but later that night he was in a panic. Rapid panting, turning and
stubbling.
Dave rushed him to the emergency
clinic. Buddy was blind and in pain. They loaded him with charcoal, IV
fluids and seditated him.
Two days later his sight was back and
he was released.
I have never been real careful with
wormers because I never would have thought that such a small amount could hit a
100 pound dog so severely and quickly.
I want to let everyone know and
hopefully save someone else the heartache and $$$$
We were told we were very lucky. Most
dogs are in a coma and don't survive.
I will now make sure my dogs are
safely locked away and all wormer tubes are disposed of safely.
