New Puppies!

Some how!

Long story short!

We promised Hattie a lizzard for her birthday.

Matt is a softy and we ended up with two NOT one.. but two miniature poodles.

They are sisters. They were 8 weeks when we got them. They are now 11 weeks.

Aside from all the potty training and keeping them out of the boys arms they have been very good puppies. 

Yesterday they found their way to a tray of strong D-Con we had in our garage.  Luckily I was outside and saw them eat it. We got them to a vet within an hour and a half. The vet induced vomiting and then gave them a charcoal treatment. They are also on vitamin k for the next 30 days twice a day. The vet said we were very lucky to have caught it as the puppies both would have been dead by morning. The vet also said to do follow up blood test every 10 days for the next 30 days to make sure they are not going into organ failure and that their blood is clotting normally. We are to watch for bruising and blood anywhere else on the body.  

That being said.. an after hours vet clinic on a Saturday night YA!  Lets just say we have some golden puppies!

It makes you think!

I am the one who says put them down! BUT in the moment....where do you as an owner draw the line on the measures you are going to take to save a pet.  The bigger question...Your children's pet?  It is weighing heavily on my mind. Blood tests another couple hundred dollars....and if they come back and say it is not looking good!  Then what?  IVS lots of medications LOTS of $$$... Where do you draw the line especially if you have already spent more than you ever swore you would on a pet or pets!!!
