Major Pet Scare

On this crisp, cold and very windy Sunday morning I let Cadie out as usual and when I went to the door to let her back in she was laying down on the back porch chewing on some morsel and really enjoying it. It turned out to be a partial chunk of rodent poison that had been pulled out of the child/pet proof box by what ever rodent had been feasting on it. We went into heart failure. We called animal emergency and were told to pour 1 tbsp per 10 pounds of body weight (she weighs 80 lbs) of hydrogen peroxide down her throat immediately to induce vomiting. We got about 2 tbsp down and waited a few minutes. She threw up twice losing all of her recently eaten breakfast along with a few of the tiny yellow pebbles of poison. Then we thawed a 10 ounce box of spinach that is high in Vitamin K (the antidote for the anti-coagulant poison, our idea as an alternative to rushing to an emergency vet clinic for a shot of Vit K) and got her to eat most of it. Now we wait. She should be alright but only time will tell.
