Being aware of Poisonous Plants to animals

Being aware of Poisonous Plants to animals April of 2010 My dogs ingested a Sago palm. I had a pitbull and a Lab. I knew something was wrong because they were both vomiting a lot. so i looked it up online.

Turns out it is very toxic to animals. we rushed them to the vet E.R. right away. we got to take them home 6 hours later after they got fluids and some acitvated charcol. this was on a saturday. we stayed up all night trying to keep them hydrated. on sunday i notcied that my Pit, Gunner, had blood in his stool. we called and they said to wait another 12 hours that maybe it would pass. Well it just

got worse from there he started vomiting blood. so i made one of the hardest decsions i have ever had to make and that was to put him out of his missory. My lab hadnt showen any signs of blood in her stool or when she vomited so we were able to take her to our vet at Care at the Coutyard on Monday. She stayed there all week long and we were able to take her home Friday. Today is saturday, we got her back last night. She is eating a little bit, but we are still not out of the woods with her. 3 months later Roxy died from liver failure. Please pass the word along so no one has to go through this pain!

Make sure your animals only get the food scrapings that won't harm them. I'm not going to say don't give them anything because I like to spoil my dogs during the holidays just make sure it's safe for them! No grapes! That's one I know for sure is a no no!

So The weather is getting colder. What do you do for your dog/cat in the winter? Buy a sweater? Keep them inside. Animals get cold too. Breeds like pits, boxers with short fur will get cold! Please make sure you are doing something to keep them warm!!!

My husband and I went to lowes with my list of safe plants and guess what!? They didn't have one plant on my list. So I used my phone to look up all their plants that they had. One of the plants that was pre grown was safe. and We found 2 packets of seeds that were safe and 1 that there is no information on. We were at lowes forever!!!!!!! It was so worth it though. Knowing that My dogs are safe means the world to me!
