cass Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 HI all... i am in a state of shock right now. At 6 oclock this morning we woke to find Kuda fitting and foaming at the mouth. I tried to get onto the vet on call, but he wouldnt answer his phone. I tried to find someone everywhere, but there wasnt anyone there to help. We took him into the first vet to open, at 10 to 8 and he was given valium. He had a temp of 43 and they asid they had to put him on ice. They told us to leave, and about 30 mins later they rang to say he had gone into cardiac arrest and was unable to be revived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cass Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 We think he may have been poisoned.. but dont know for sure. He turned 1 last month and was such a happy healthy boy last night... I cant believe it could happen so quick. Goodbye sweet boy... we all love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky in Oz Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 That is so devastating! And more horribel if he was posoined. Look for everything that he could have digested, everywhere he's been. Please take care. My sincerest sympathies are with you. I am so, so very sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cass Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thank you all for your kind thoughts. We have decided not to do any further investigations. It would just cost too much. we already have a $270 bill from this morning. I guess we will never know. We have checked the back yard thouroughly and have found no signs of anything. My only guess is that someone has given him something over night. The vet suggested snail bait.. but just doent know. I seriously doubt it was a snake. Thank you again. You are a really caring, lovely bunch of people. we appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugerfly Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 HI Cass, Im so terribly sorry for you. YOu must be still in a state of shock... I can only offer the fact that it probably was a snake. My girl has been bitten twice and those are the exact symptoms, convulsing and foaming. Mine was also in a surburban backyard and was a black. The snakes are out now and aggressive. Im so sorry for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
