Mazie has a Hero!

Because of the cold weather we have been allowing Maize to be in the house more often. With that comes garbage's that gets overturned, a unexpected sock wetting from a pee puddle, dribbles of water on the toilet seat and things chewed up. (Last week she chewed up Spensers toy bat.)

The kids got home around 4 pm today. I was in the office working and Carolyn came in and told me that Maize had chewed up Spenser's Desitin. I looked at it and thought well it was almost empty and set it back down. Carolyn corrected me and said Grama I read the back and it says its poisonous if swallowed. I read it and verified she was correct. I looked at it again and thought well she couldn't have eaten much but then my conscious got the best of me plus Carolyn was in a bit of a frantic so I called the vet and they checked, sure enough it was not a good thing. I am so greatful Carolyn was on it. I would have disregarded it as nothing.

The Vet wanted to know how far away I was from the clinic, I told them, then they proceeded to tell me to make her drink 1/4C - 1C of Hydrogen Peroxide! I told them no thanks, I think I will bring her in, they said it wasn't a convience issue but urgency,ugh! How do you suppose I get a dog to drink Peroxide? She told me with a turkey baster which would make her vomit up the poisen.

What choice did I have?

I called the kids into the mud room since it is all linolieum, easy to clean. I told them to hold her as I opened her mouth and squeesed a 1/4C peroxide down her throat. She didn't think that was too funny but didn't bite me, whew! Nothing happened so I had to do another 1/4C by then shes going get me out of here! Whats a matter with you people! Sure enough it worked. We got a bowl and she vomited into it perfectly. We were all gagging. You know what peroxide does on contact, try what it does in the stomach. Once she was done we put her outside so she could get a drink of water and empty what ever else she still had. YUK!

What a day!I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
