Emergency Vet for Reuben

[Joy]

I'm so sorry. It's so easy to leave things around - I've done it and I'm sure most people have, so don't blame yourself. It sounds as if the vets have sorted it all out - keeping my fingers crossed for no ill effects.

 

[Kelsey]

Pleas don’t beat yourself up It is not your fault. I do understand your worry but I echo what others have said, they wouldn’t have sent him home if they were unsure

 

[Pepper]

Sending positive vibes and hugs. Don’t beat yourselves up, have a glass of wine!

 

[FayRose]

That's scary indeed, fingers firmly crossed he will continue to improve. Oh, aren't they craftily clever these pups of ours? - If anything edible is around, come hell or high water they'll have it!

 

[Jacqui-S]

These things happen Kate.
Remember Lochan and the chocolate incident. It happens.
Please don't beat yourself up.

 

[JES72]

Poor Reuben, hope he's better soon. They can all be so sneaky at finding things that aren't good for them. It happens so easily.

 

[Selina27]

Oh Kate , as others have said, these things happen, and could do to anyone of us. It's easy to beat yourself up, but don't, please. These things happen in a moment, and it sounds like you and your vets acted swiftly.

 

[Granca]

These things happen, Kate, so don’t beat yourself up. You acted really promptly, so there’s a good chance that all will be well. The charcoal apparently helps to mop up any residue - Wispa and Tuppence had that too after the mushroom/toadstool episode.
Sending more positive vibes and hugs.

What a shock!

I’m sure he’ll be fine.

When Tatze was tiny she ate a tulip bulb in the garden. The emergency vet said ‘you’ve poisoned your dog’. I’ll never forget the shock of those words. Luckily it was just before my own vets opened and the emergency vet was half an hour’s drive away, so I waited and phoned my own vet. He said ‘wait and see how she is, if she looks at all lethargic or has the runs or vomits bring her in without phoning.’ She was fine - phew.

for you.

 

[Beanwood]

Crikey! What a shock!

Thanks all , the worrying part is that it can take a few days for the garlic poisoning to affect the red blood cell count , hence the repeat blood tests next week , or before if we are worried . I tend to cope well at the time and then go to bits afterwards, like right now .Poor love is hungry but I cant feed him until 9 this evening . The Vet was so lovely , not a bit judgemental and very kind with Reubs , they made us cups of tea and the on duty nurses were fussing Nelly . Its going to be a long night ! xxxx

Sit back, cuddle your boy, have a glass of something you like, and know that you recognised speedily, had him at the vets super quick, and that lovely gorgeous pup IS on the mend... the lambies said ‘it is so’

 

[Naya]

Sending you big hugs . Hope you both have a settled night x

 

[M.F.]

Sending best wishes. You caught it early. I’m sure he’ll be fine. Thinking of you xxxxx

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Sending you lots of hugs, Kate.

Nothing to beat yourself up about, the important bit is all the care and love you've given him to get him back in form. My bet is that he'll be giving you something to laugh at again by tomorrow.

 

[Emily]

Oh Kate, what a worry! Well done for acting so quickly and getting him to the vet - I bet that's made all the difference x

 

[jazzmynn]

Just catching up now....so worrisome. I’m sorry for everything you’re going through - luckily you were quick to the vets and they seem to have a good handle on things. Big hugs...

 

[Mabel’smummy]

Sending you big hugs keeping fingers, toes and paws crossed.

 

[Lab_adore]

Oh no Kate, I'm so sorry but I echo everyone else to please don't blame yourself. They are little thieves and the things that Maxx has managed to reach astounds us. I hope little Reuben is ok and sending masses of positive thoughts to you both

 

[Cath]

Oh I am so sorry Kate, Hope the little man is soon on the mend
