I tried to play with my dog this afternoon and he started crying. I found this weird bruise in his armpit, with lots of swelling, and thought he was bitten by something and didn't think much of it. I gave him an ibuprofin for the pain.

A few hours later I noticed some swelling on his neck. MAJOR swelling, so I called my mom and told her and took him to an emergency clinic. They shaved the bulge on his neck to check for trauma, because it didn't look like it was connected to the one in his armpit at all.

They tested his blood and said that he had gotten into some rat poison. And that it takes about 4-5 days to kick in. He's going to get a plasma transfusion and has to take vitamin K for 30 days.

My mom's paying for it, $500.

I feel so bad for letting him out.
it's not your fault, don't feel bad. Someone is trying to kill him.

Rat posion smells bad to a dog and they won't tought in normally. Someone fed it to him in meat to mask the smell.


Pain is Nature's way of saying "At least your still alive!"

That which does not kill us hurts like hell.
