I heard that German Shorthairs make great bird dogs.

Vet found that Hershey has a curve in his spine, the result of an injury. I think it all goes back to that kennel we had a problem with last year, when he became gun shy after staying there. But of course there is no way to prove it...

Hershey, my chocolate lab, ate 3-4 blocks of commercial grade rat poison. I called the emergency vet hot-line and they had me give him hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. He'll see the vet in the next day or two and get checked out.

Niemz tell your wife to call me in the morning and I can drive them to the vet. I work until 8 a.m. If she needs help, hope he makes it. Poor lab.

How does vitamin k help? Better hide the poison, he ate it once he might do it again.

Vitamin K helps the blood clot. The poison removes this ability so the mice bleed out internally.
