Don't even know where to begin. Eider, our 10 mo old Lab pup, is at the vet. This morning after he ate his breakfast he threw up and then started shaking like I've never seen a dog shake before. he could hardly walk and when he did walk, it was like a drunken sailor. Foaming and drooling at the mouth. I called the vet. They wanted to see him at 4:45 pm. I thought about that for a minute, called back and said we're coming NOW! The vet thinks it is some form of poison, I confess I can't remember the name of the poison family he thought. I know we have a bottle of malathion in the barn. He said that would do it. It could have been skin contact or eaten. I jsut spent an hour out there in the barn trying to figure out what it could be. It is like there is so much out there that it could be (malathion, plant foods, bug killers, antifreeze, etc) but none of those are where he could get into them or seem to be leaking or anything like that. I'm exhausted! I'm still not feeling well myself with lung issues that has been going on for more than a month now and I was desperately trying to figure out what he might have gotten into that could be doing this. DH got called in to a shooting today and has 3 other major cases that he's trying to keep up with at work, working all weekend. I don't think he'll be a lot of help in my investigation! What a mess. Anyway, I'd appreciate puppy prayers for my little brat! The wierd thing is that the other 3 dogs were all at the barn this morning too and every other morning. No one else is sick. Just my little brat. If one of the kids got into whatever it is, it could be a problem for them as well. According to the vet it could be a skin contact problem. No kids are talking. I'm so frustrated I'm not sure whether to believe them or not. They are all great liars but they understand the seriousness of the situation and that it could be more dogs or even them and still no one is talking so I'm thinking they really don't know what it is either. I'm feeling numb at this point.
