Dog put to sleep :-(

[lesbattersby]

Sad day for us today, Molly our jack Russell had to be put to sleep. I let her out to our back garden this morning around 9. I went to bring her back in an hour or so later. Normally as soon as you open the door she comes running, but today she was nowhere to be seen. I look over and see her wee face resting on the wall. Straight away I knew something was up. I called her over and she could hardly step over the small wall. She just collapsed and couldn't get up. Phoned the vet and nowhere was open for another hour. Took her over and they said she's been poisoned. I'm hoping no one did this intentionally. I was told a few weeks back a neighbour got decking down a few years ago and has had a mouse problem ever since. I'm thinking maybe Molly eat one that had been poisoned. Does anyone know if the council would be of any help making them do something about their decking. I'm worried now about mice and to worried to get another dog to be poisoned again.

Gutted for you mate, i find it horrendous when one of my furry mates die.

Not sure whether the council will be much help as people would complain if he wasn't doing something about the mice/rats and I'm not sure they can ban stuff like decking. Best thing would be if you can have a chat with the neighbour to find a better way of getting rid of the mice

Mate really sad to read this, hope your ok id ask around and find out if anyone else has any local pets that have been ill or at least warn other about the possibility

Horrible,thoughts with you mate for your faithful friend, had to get the vet out to put our 14 and 1/2 year old lab Dixie to sleep,bloody awful

Sorry for you. It’s a horrible feeling. But don’t compound it with conspiracy theories, just let it go as you’ll never prove anything and will only make yourself feel worse......

Feel for you mate.
Hopefully it will be 'accidental' poisoning and not deliberate... we lost a Japanese Akita many years ago thanks to some arsehole throwing a sponge soaked in antifreeze over the fence. She died a slow and painful death, so I truly hope your Molly has not succumbed to anything like that.

Gutted for you mate, we`ve lost a few dogs over the years and it`s just horrible afterwards.

May bit too late, but the vet could do a blood test and see if there`s anything in there that there shouldn`t be ?

The problem with poison, is that the blighters never die where they ate the poison.

Thanks for replies, yeh it was horrible to watch, the sons heart broken. Guess we'll have to put it down to just one of those things.

What the? Why would someone do that?

 

[Number_25]

I'm so sorry for your loss mate.

 

[wainy]

So sorry for your loss mate.

Pure jealousy I think.
Although back them, some 20 years ago, there was a spate of pedigree dog poisoning in the Warrington/Wigan area... and it was nearly always with antifreeze.

Did they ever get found out?
Scumbags some people

Very sorry to hear that. Was out walking this evening with me own Jack Russell. Fantastic company and helps me keep the weight down. Hate the thoughts of someone poisoning dogs deliberately.
