Sarah Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Glue is toxic - i'd get her to the vets pronto. What type was it and how much has she had? Is she insured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Cas, doesn't sound good - how much has been eaten or swallowed, do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 FIRST AID If swallowed rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately. Give 1 or 2 glasses of water to drink and do not induce vomiting. Yeah, as Sarah said, straight to vets & explain if money is an issue ........

valkyries Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 fingers crossed all is ok as PVA glue is a water based glue used in school with small children who can also be found eating it, but a phone call would be in your best interest even if just to put your mind at rest xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Am I missing something here ? Get that bloody dog to the vets NOW dint make the excuse you cant afford it you just got another dog why get a 2ND if you cant afford the bill for the 1ST one ? You was told she sould be fully insured. Get off your arse and your " Shura100 WOO am on the wii " sell it if you have to sell yourself but sort that dog now. Now tell me am going over the top I dont care so long as Shura is ok. Get back to me you got my number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 cassie i agree get her 2 vets asap - if u cnt afford it surely u have a relative who can lend u the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 i know my vet's will let you pay in instalments they wont turn any animal away, i'm sure other vets do the same ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Im sorry but I have to agree .... I'm all for people asking for advice and things but you need to use some common sense. The last time you posted regarding shura you posted about feeding "whatever we can afford at the time" and about cocopops shortly before getting another dog, which at the time to be honest I thought was to put it bluntly irresponsible. If you have insurance you should have rang them up, that it what it is for. If you have excess it is money you should always have incase it is needed for your animals, and if you cannot do this then you shouldnt have them. It could be a very small amount and need nothing but a bit of water and a good eye on her for a bit. It could be absolutly safe for what she has had. In the same respect IT COULD BE FATAL AND SHE COULD DIE!! We dont know because we are not vets, if we were we dont know what type of PVA glue it is, if we did we dont know exactly what is in it. You need to get to a vet and take the glue with you. There are emergency numbers all over the place for these kinds of things, there are free charity emergency vets all over the country for these kinds of things.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 cassie how is she !? did u take her the vets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shura100 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok no i did not take her to the vets as i rang them up instead and they said just to keep an eye on her and if she deteriated to take her back. As for the coco pops she likes them as a treat and as for Lola she has helped shura start eating. Many of you work and have enough money to take them to the vets for every little thing we only have 1 wage coming in which has to pay for food for everyone, rent, bills there is oftern money left over for the dogs in an emergancy but this month we have been short. I know shura well espacially when she is ill. I have read up MSDS on polyvinyl acetate and there is no known health effects. As for the wii i was at a friends house that day so its not mine at all. My dogs are the most important thing in the world besides my family. I like to treat my dogs to somthing different other then dog food and shes started eating everything since Lola came, Lola is shuras companion and i wouldnt change that because she is happier. As for the incident i was not with her it was michael who was and he said he couldnt be sure she licked the glue or the bowl. I posted as a precaution and for some advice not to be ridiculed.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 No1s ridiculing u we r just all concernced for ur pup is all how is she now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Cassie - people aren't ridiculing you They are worried about her Dunc posted what he did because as her breeder, he was extremely concerned for her welfare. I sent you a text yesterday asking if all was ok and you ignored me - people here care a great deal and were not ridiculing you in any way. I'm sorry that you took it that way. But on the co co pops issue - surley you must see that it is so dangerous to feed them this - it is NOT dog food not even for treats - if you want to give them treats, give them cheese or bits of ham - something that they will like as much if not more than co co pops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shura100 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Sarah im sorry but i didnt ignor you txt i havnt had my phone with me for the past few days as i have been ill in bed. If i didnt care for their well being i would not get out of bed to spend time with them would i ? I have asked the vet about coco pops and they said it is fine as treat every now and then. Its not like i give it to them everyday all cocopops are rice crispies with coco powder added to it not really harmful to them. If the vets said its alright every now and then its ok with me. I know you all care but there are ways to put things differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 OMG i can't honestly believe that a vet would condone feeding a dog - especially a husky as they have such different food requirements to other breeds, co co pops. I just googled the ingredients and I now know why I wouldn't feed it my kids let alone my dogs... Rice, Sugar, Chocolate (6%)(Sugar, Cocoa Mass), Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12. That is seriously not a good mix of things for a dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm too tired to put into words what i mean so I cheated and googled lol Found this site http://www.petcareworld.net/dogs/feeding-your-dog-a-balanced-diet Basicall the first paragraph alone sums up what i've got swimming in my head Your dog has specific needs when it comes to nutrition, and as the owner, it’s up to you to make sure that your dog is getting a complete and balanced diet. Not only does Feeding Your Dog A Balanced Diet ensure your dog is happy, healthy enjoyable dog to be around, but the correct diet also ensures that your dog will be around for a lot longer.

Shura100 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I understand sarah and she gets everything she needs out of her biscuits she has them way more oftern the cocopops infacts she hasnt had them for a while now. And she doesnt always eat dog food so when she goes off her food i give her somthing she likes so that she will eat and doesnt go with out. Dog food has most of those ingredients and the vitamins are good alone. I really feel to ill to carry this on i just wanted to get my point across. I dont want to fall out with anyone over this.

Sarah Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Oh no - i'm not trying to fall our with you far from it, if it's come across in that mannor then i appologise. The point I was trying to make is that cereal is not good for dogs - my boys often go off their food but if they don't eat a meal then they go without and get no treats - give them a day or two and they munch right through their food as normal again - gotta let her know who's boss hope you feel better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
