Lucy did that once and had a bad bellyache. We took her to the emergency room just to be sure, because I wasn't sure whether it could be really serious.

I was at work and when I got home I took her outside to potty...my mom said she had just put her in her kennel. I didn't see her get anything while I was outside with her...but she could have gotten it when they took her outside...if thats what it is...and I do think it is...what can I do?? She's very upset and scared. She won't even let me hold her...which she usually wants me to when she is sick. She can't stop drooling...

yes, a doggy emergency room. is the vet you're talking about a 24-hour vet or does he have an emergency number?

not a 24 hour vet...you call the office and the answering machine will give you the emergency number though...

i would do that. your vet may be able to tell you what to do without having to see her.

i remember they gave her some medicine to settle her belly. i wasn't sure if that's what made her so sick or if it was something else. she was acting like she had a dry mouth and i forced some water on her tongue and she eventually drank a little. i was probably being overprotective.
does it cost anything if the emergency folks call you back?

i wouldn't feel bad. good vets never mind getting a call late at night from someone who's really worried about their babies. are you going to take her to the vet tomorrow?

is she doing any better? is she letting you hold her? try to get a little water on her tongue, then she may actually drink a little too (if she's not already.)

I wish I had seen this last night.  You need to rinse out their mouth with a shower sprayer or kitchen hand held.  You want to get the poison out, but not let her drink it down which makes the poison go down the throat.  I also rinsed Tinkerbelle's feet because she caught the toad before she bit it.  Toad's can be very poisonous and you need to get the poison off of their mouthes and feet.  I hope she is OK today!
