what a messed up start and hopefully somewhat good end to thanksgiving for me and my wife n the kids. our dog got into someones baited leftovers, seemed our dog ate the food that had antifreeze mixed into caribou w meat n gravy leftovers

why the heck would someone have the nerve to take the time to bait their perfectly great food and mix it w coolant and put it outside? sheesh. i noticed the dog had funny lookin eyes and about an hour later she started panting non stop, eyes got worse looking, breathign got worse, the vet in nearest big town was not answering call, so i tried lookin into the internet at symptoms of dog poisoning. i figured she must of had glycol or rat poisoning, knowin my neighbors dont give a dam about dogs. i tried lettin the dog throwup w my finger, didnt wanna throwup. so looked at a video on how to make a dog throwup. said to use hydrogen peroxide. it worked after a few minutes the dog puked out caribou meat n gravy. gave the dog few dabs of wesson oil. on thnxgiving day i called the vet and he answered his phone and guess what he told me thatll save my dogs life?............................. ........... alcohol!!!!!

so i been giving the dog some captain

so far so good since i been givin it a " FEW "

every dog owner should look into on things from around the house you can use to save your dogs life.

<S> HAPPY THANKSGIVING YO!!!

Dogs love coolant, mixed with gravy or not. You need to be real careful with that stuff.

Sorry, you said antifreeze

People (I use that term loosely) who poison dogs should themselves die long painful deaths.

If the guy has a problem with someone elses dogs he should contact that person about it. If nothing is done then trap them and turn them over to animal control.

Where did the neighbor leave the bait and if it was on his property how does your dog have access to it?

I dislike, intensely, people who would poison a pet. I also think people are supposed to be responsible for their pets and keep them from roaming other folks property.

If the bait was placed on your property you need to call the Police and file a complaint. If it was on the neighbors property, you need to keep your dog on yours.

Had a dog about 5 years ago who died of antifreeze poisoning

Greens, was the bait for a bear that your dog happened to find?

With Mav on this one. I love dogs and have had several since very small.
I live in the 'country'..roaming dogs are a problem that locals will not tolerate... the dogs tend to 'disapear'.
IF you really love your pet, keep it on your property. I have been braced up by a small pack of dogs after coming home in the dark..the big one that snarled and faced me down is no more...his bros fled..he had a collar. No owner ID or I would of paid a vist. I'm sure he was very loveable and wonderful at home.
If you feel your dog has aright to roam on others property, I'd be interested in your argument...

The other, more disturbing thing, is that children also find some coolants sweet to th taste. A wandering, lost perhaps, child could easily have died, no matter who's property it was...

You didn't answer the question greens, was the bait on your neighbors property or yours?

After you save your dogs life, take your neighbor's.

I fear that the concept and connotations of "property" in his culture and his location may differ slightly than most of us.

Aside from that, more than just dogs are attracted to that smell as some here have already stated. Baiting food like that, for any animal or person to eat, is only done for one reason...

Not too impressed, Von....
If it's YOUR animal, and you truly care about it...keep it on YOUR property...don't give a flip if it IS alaska...
Most states stipulate if you can't keep your stock(which most states put dogs in that catagory) on your own property..said stock becomes property of landowner were said stock couldn't(or more likely wouldn't) be kept off of....
Meaning that said landowner killed his own animal. Have had more than a little involvement in this arguement.
If you've got an arguement why someone needn't keep their animal on their own land..let's hear it.
If you think someone's dog should wander were-ever it feels, let's hear the arguement..
Surely you know dogs suffer from 'pack mentallity' and should not be allowed free access to public land..right?
You really think the OP doesn't know this also? Really?

Here you have to keep your animals in a fence or otherwise controlled. Includes dogs and cats.
