chicken ate rat bait

[flowerchicks]

They are fine this morning, but I think I am going to get some vit. K capsules and give it to them. I am not sure if they were just pecking at it (as chickens do) to investigate it or actually eating it.

This is probably to little to late. When my ferret ate rat poison (just one bite) my vet said to give it vitamin k. He said that is what it depletes in the body to kill things. I would call the vet or poison control.

How much did your ferret eat? How much, how often and for how long did you give vit. K? Did your ferret get better?

Yes he got better been a while but I think it was between 5 and 7 days I don't remember the dosage. He ate quite a bit we think was at a friends house he was just wandering and when we seen him he had the bar and was munching away I freaked about 1/4 of the bar was gone if he ate all of that is unknown. I called my vet immediately he made the prescription over the phone went to Kmart and got it.
My ferret was trained as good as any dog I've ever seen. Just wanted you to know why he was wandering by him self he would have came instantly if I called him. Glad I didn't cause I would have never known. He passed a few years later and was not replaced.

I'm glad he got better. I had two ferrets years ago, Gumby and Pokie. I love ferrets and hope to have some again.

Keep us posted about your chickens.

Well, its been 6 hours short of 4 days since I saw my 2 chickens pecking at the JustOneBite bar. I treated my barred rich with vit. K but because I didn't notice who the other hen was (lots of black chickens) it didn't get treated. So far nobody is showing any signs of being sick. I hate to jump the gun, but I think they are out if the woods. If they had eaten enough bait to make them sick I think they would be showing symptoms by now.

I hope they continue to do well. Keep us posted.
