Chicks and momma might have ate rat poison

[TexasSam]

There was some old rat poison in my garage 3 or 4 years old. I totally forgot about it well it was scattered around when I got home today. The chicks hatched on the 17th mom is almost a year. What should I do

I never had it happen to me, but I did find this older thread that might have some advice for you.

Vitamin K is urgent. Like NOW.

Rat poison works by thinning the blood and causing massive internal hemorrhage. K will counteract this. There are no guarantees and if you don't do it soon enough there's no chance at all, but it can work.

It might be an anticoagulant type poison, or some thing else. If there's a package, you will know, and get appropriate help ASAP.

You'll need to get her to a vet. A Vitamin K1 injection is needed, then follow-up treatment as well, most likely. Only K1 can be used, no other types of K vit's.
Best of luck!

Take the package with you, because everything isn't vitK responsive!!!
