Sinead

skwo2, I will NEVER use them again - stupid of me. He is getting better by the day, I think he is mostly psychologically affected at the moment ! He is only 2 and has not had a scare in his short life. They are a beautiful breed aren't they??

I found a "doggy friendly" brand of snail pellets and put them down on Sunday. (Can I mention the brand...because my vet said they are liars and I want others to know) I kept my Bichon Frise out of the garden because even though I bought the product thinking it was safe, I was still a little wary. Alfie (the escape-artist) got into the garden for a while without me realisingand at around 9pm that evening he started whimpering. I picked him up for cuddles and he yelped in pain. With the snail pellets at the forefront of our mind, we rushed him to the 24hr vet and he spent the night there. The vet said that we nearly lost him. It's Thursday and he is still only about 50% himself. He is normally an extremely happy little fella and so it is breaking my heart to see him like this. How long have other survivors of these horrible little pellets taken to get back to normal? I am still worried about him. I am horrified to think that I did this to him. I have learnt the hard way that there is no such thing as dog-friendly pellets and that even the ones that have pictures of dogs and cats on the front only do it to sell their product ahead of the other poisonous, but honest brands. :D David, vet bill was $1080.00 (!!) - but worth every cent.... Any advice anyone could offer will be well received... Thank you.
