Sambuca Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I went out this evening and when I came home I found that Bu got into a bunch of things while I was out. Normally he is very good so I don't tend to worry unless there is food out. He's a free feeder and had run out of food and I think he just got hungry because it was a long day. Whatever the reason, he ripped up the box of puppy dose frontline I got for my little dog. I found the box, but not the actual frontline. I freaked out and searched for a few minutes then called my vet at home (he's a family friend and an awesome guy). Thankfully, because it was a puppy dose, my vet said he should be ok. I really don't know if he ate it. I'll probably find it in a couple days. What I don't understand is that there was also a heartgaurd in there and he didn't touch it. Why would he eat a nasty smelling chemical and not the pill that smells and tastes like a treat that was packaged with it? Due to that, I really don't think he ate it, but I'm still a bit freaked. He will now be muzzled when left alone. He has crate anxiety or I would crate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambuca Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Very naughty. Thank you. I hope so too. My vet is awesome! His son actually answered the phone and I recognized his voice so I said "Hi Steve, it's Karen" and he goes "Hey how are you?" I said "not good, how are you?" he goes "good thanks, I guess you want my dad". I've had this vets home phone number for almost 20 years and it's only the 3rd time I've used it I think. I'm also a pet sitter. I try to use it VERY sparingly to not abuse the privilege. I also spend a ton of money at the vet so that helps too.

GeorgeofNE Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm sure he didn't eat it. There would be nothing appealing about it. Since you cannot find even the empty vial or packaging, it's probably under the couch, etc. The things that disappear at my place amaze me. It's the cat though, not the dog. Once I found a large avocado in the middle of the dog's bed. Since the dog was in my bedroom all night, I know it wasn't him. The cat weighs about 7 pounds. Their were fang marks in the avocado too! Hilarious. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bu seems to be doing well today, although we've barely made of bed yet. I honestly don't think he ate it, but I unless I find that damn thing, I won't know for sure. Yes, that vet connection is awesome. He's just a really nice guy. I know he's a little pricier than other vets in the area, but its just worth it for me (it helps that they give me the frequent flyer discount lol).

I can picture George in the background, snickering and saying to himself "Hee hee, she really thinks the cat did it."

ChiliDog Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Greta once ate 12 heartguard tablets. I called Merial and found out that the "fatal dose" starts at about 500 tabs for dogs under 25 lbs or so. If you don't find it you can always call Merial to see if there are any potential problms with ingesting frontline.
