Scots dog owner issues warning after pet swallows rat poisoning and given days to live
A dog owner has warned of the dangers of rat poisoning after her pet swallowed the chemical and was given days to live.
"Zara was in the garden and the next minute she had this dead rat she thought was a toy. She ingested the poison from its body. "I took her back to the vets and they told me the poison was shutting down her organs and she had just days to live." Nicole continued: "Most dogs die when they eat poison, Zara is extremely lucky to be here. The poison caused her immune system to attack itself.
"I want to raise awareness to other pet owners - if you know rat poison has been placed down in your local area, be alert. For some owners the only option is to put your pet down. Zara is happy but she has long-term health issues as a result."
