Bad girl!!Good morning, Cafe', and thanks DL.
Oh, Maggie MaeHolly, Livvie, Dani - our 'good' deceased golden retrievers are turning over in their graves. These dogs never took anything off the counter. Last night Maggie took and destroyed a plastic vial of Lovastatin that the Princess had put out to remind me to take. I'm not certain how many pills were left or how many she may have ingested as it was the last of a prescription. I did pick 5 pills up from the floor. After a frenzied Google search and a call to our veterinarian it seemed as if toxicity was somewhat limited. After a somewhat sleepless night on my part and many checks on 'The Girl' she is apparently fine this morning. Who thought we should get another dog?
Ben got Fuji tossed in the hospital with IVs and charcoal treatments for a partial bottle of baby aspirin HE knocked off the shelf and ate. While Fuji's treatment was underway I watched Ben's body posture start to change. The vets tossed him on the X-ray table and saw a big gassy pocket moving through his intestines. He got a fast 1L IV flush in the office and was sent home with a second.
Fuji stayed overnight as a precaution.
The calculations on the potential dose of aspirin consumed would have made Fuji very sick, possibly dead and Ben very uncomfortable. Thank goodness he ate most of it. Still... don't steal things that aren't yours.
or my kleenex to tear up..
