Minor panic with Sailor last night. Came home from a day patrolling a new yard. Had his dinner. Threw it up. It happens. Then dawned on me he might have eaten god knows what around this place. Rat poison, antifreeze, fertiliser etc. Looked at him before bed and he was pretty non responsive. Picked up his head and it was dead weight. Fuuhhhck. Snapped him out of it, got him up and got him to follow a torch round. Just about. Briefly considered emergency vet or whether I have the bits and pieces round the house to make a dialysis machine. Held off on both not wanting to act like a hysterical first time parent.
Anyway. He wasn’t dead from organo phosphates or whatever this morning. Relief.

Been there. Just recently, the beagle decided it'd be a smart idea to eat a 500g bag of raisins.

A half dozen or so drops of hydrogen peroxide induces vomiting almost immediately in most dogs.

Used this trick a couple of times now, like when he ate a half bar of 70% dark chocolate. Damn dog has a death wish!

There's also a vomit inducing eye drop available from lots of vets but we were out at the time and with chocolate, grapes, onion etc it's important to stop the food getting from the stomach to the gut asap. 

Anyhow, hope sailor shakes it off and shites it out!

Glad he’s is ok mate.  I always keep an eye on Kira when she is sniffing around the farm buildings.  Quite a bit of rodent poison lying about.

Didn’t occur to me until the evening. Matey says no poison down. Didn’t grill him about anything else. The more I think about it, the more I think it was just a coincidence. He’s been fine all day today. The brief conk-out last night must have just been he was asleep or not bothered to greet me. I could have avoided this entire worry episode with just a lower opinion of myself. 

Moving on. How do you put a visi vest on a dog? I stuffed the arm holes over his head in a hurry but I suspect he could wear it in a human fashion.
