Poison Shot

Well on Monday I got this product called "Kwik Shot" that is made to put into a burning fire to help prevent soot build up and chimney fires. I was waiting for the fire to get going better and set the canister down next to the fireplace and I lean in to blow on the embers and when I turn around its gone!!! Nala had taken it up on the couch and opened it and licked some! It was a terrifying feeling so I called the vet and they said to call poison control so I called them and was stressing out. Apparently it costs $35 just to ask them a question but in this situation who would refuse that. Nala starts to get sick and I tell her this and she says "we will deal with that in a minute now what is your credit card information" and I am thinking to myself "HELP ME WITH MY DOG OR IM NOT PAYING ANYTHING!' While i'm on hold I call Alison and tell her to drive over as fast as she can! So it turns out that it is just a stomach irritant and I spend the rest of the evening bathing her (which was quite eventful, I had to change clothes afterwards), wrapping her up and letting her sleep next to me waking her up every 15 minutes to give her a few laps of water so she is not dehydrated. Overall it was a very scary experience and I cant imagine what it would be like if it was a child! Even though Nala basically is my child. She is doing much better now, back to playing and biting on Emma (our 6 year old sherpherd/collie mix). Needless to say you cant turn your back for a second!!     -Trevor
