Dogs Apparently Poisoned

[Flashsmum]

We were walking Harry and Whitney along the river bank near home (Shoalhaven river, Nowra) the other day, and one of the ladies who lives along there came and told us to be careful of letting the dogs eat anything along the river. Apparently two dogs had become very ill in the last couple of weeks after eating something, and the vet had said that both dogs had been affected by the same substance. They have both recovered, but they're not walked along there any more.

I have heard a rumour (and that's all it is) that some one local is doing it because owners don't pick up their dog's poos, and they are annoyed about that. Hopefully not true as I'd hate to not be able to walk my two down there, as it's a lovely spot.

Harry is muzzled (greyhound) and Whitney has, so far, not tried to eat anything. They are both always on leads, so if they pick up anything, we take it off them anyway. A lot of the people let their dogs off lead (even though it's not an offlead area), so they run the chance of having problems.

Be careful as there seems to be a bit of it going on. i saw on the news the other day that somewhere in Balmain was having similar issues.
