The vet also said if it had been a dog it would probably have eaten the lot! They get quite a lot of dogs brought in after eating things they shouldn't, rarely it's a cat.

KATTY i bet there was no need to take the little bugger in at all.

The vet just saw pound signs.

 

On TV a vet show included a dog that had eaten an entire strip of the Pill - the vet said not to worry and take the dog home!!!

Saint I  was 99% sure he hadn't swallowed any,however just to be safe....

Katty, I would have done the same, better to get it treated immediately than spend hours worrying and then the cat get really ill.. The vet told me that her own dog had once eaten a whole strip of nurofen- 12 of them! her boyfriend had left the pack laying around.. She treated her the same as what bramble had done and she's been fine ever since. It happens so easily doesn't it. I'm happy to report that bramble is doing well this morning, in fact she's been livelier than usual! She's been feeling playful Lets hope the blood test tomorrow shows a clear result

Glad  she's okay Sweet,the DHC is a very strong painkiller( for his dodgy knees..her partner that is)It could cause breathing problems ,liver damage and heart trouble  for a cat if ingested .

The wee bugger last year chewed on a anti biotic ,spat it out though(they taste vile) phoned the vet about that and she said  it was harmless .cats get in everywhere.All tablets now under lock and key!

The fact the rat poison was 18 months old was also in brambles favour,it's strength would have been lessened.We get the council out sometimes to put bait boxes down when we get mice,they use the locked variety with a  cake of poison  sealed in a plastic box with a hole just big enough for the rodent to get in.However since we have Hugo now no need as he catches the mice.

Oh i know - its like having a baby again.

 . . . and when they give you the big eyes

She got the all clear

thanks jen

Well done - see you did the right thing

 

(well gotta say something to halt the hysterics)

Thanks saint you'll be pleased to know I've gone back to flicking her on the nose when we play fight

Flicking her!!! Flicking - but but that will hurt!!!

Apologise!!!

I was talking about 'snouting' her LOL

Where you gently grab her snout in your cupped hand whilst announcing the word, "snout"!!!

Good news.

Oh it IS katty - try it - but you have to holler "snout" too

Idon't think the cat would appreciate it.

No no - a cat does not have a sufficient snout - you're right
