Puppy may be poisoned!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!

[cjeanean]

My brother's puppy ate some D-Con rat/mouse poison, not very much but she is a small pup only about 10lbs. The vet is closed, he has no where to take her. What can be given to help this pup??? She ate it sometime this morning. I've been reading on vitamin K, and I'm wondering if they sell VitaminK at wal mart for ppl if it's something that can be given to pups and what the dosage is. She's about 10wks old right now. Thanks!!!

ETA: they said it looks like 1/4 to 1/3 of the tray of poison is gone, so that's how much the pup would have eaten.

She ate it this morning? as in hours and hours ago? There are no emergency clinics near him? The puppy would need iv fluids and vitamin K among other things and soon after swallowing the poison if she really did swallow it and is only ten pounds she needs to get some sort of medical care now. When did she ingest it?

Burn some toast and scrape off the black burned part and feed it to the puppy ,This is suppose to help ,even can help in children,He should start throwing up after that. Good luck

they live in the middle of nowhere, their vet doesn't even have an office, she only does house calls. It would have been early this morning, like 8am, possibly earlier than that since the dog was running loose in the bedroom overnight last night....

It's supposed to act as charcoal weve had plenty of dead dogs brought in from farmers trying that....I would have to say it doesnt work. The most important thing is when it was swallowed.

Get some warm water about 2 cups and disolve 1/4 cup salt. Use a turkey baster or whatever you have and force the dog to drink all the salt water.

Be ready as she will throw up !!! Do as soon as possible !!! This is what vet did to ours and she is OK.

This stuff always seems to happen on the weekend. You have 2 hours (over doing it) before the kidneys start to get affected by the D-con. Hopefully she didnt really ingest it or only a small amount. Most of the literature on dealing with poison is only soon after the dog eats it. I guess just get her to drink alot and see what you can do tomorrow about finding a vet on a Sunday. I'm guessing it would take quite a drive for him. Poor guy. I wish him luck.

She swallowed it 16 hours ago...there is nothing to throw up.
