Our new chihuahua rescue, Pico, has cost us plenty in vet bills in the 2.5 months he's been with us but it was all worth it 2 weeks ago...
He followed me to the basement where he's never been before. I figured it was okay because I just had to flip a switch for the Septic repair guy and run back up the steps...
I flipped the switch, turned around, and no Pico! I ran upstairs calling his name and found him on the dog bed chewing on a "prize". The "prize", it turned out was mouse poison!
I rushed him to the vet's office where they induced vomiting with Hydrogen Peroxide and prescribed 2 weeks of vitamin K just in case any had been absorbed into his system.
Had I not seen him eating the stuff, it could have been an awful ending...
