Golpher Poison and then some...
What a weekend its been. I had my sister JoJo visit from LA and she brought up the pooches Shya and Gus Gus. The weekend was all planned out. Family party for Gina's 40th Saturday night... Some major shopping all weekend and then have the cousins (my dogs and her dogs) play till there was no tomorrow.
Everything went as planned until I got a text msg from JoJo on Sunday morning saying she needed to go to the emergency vet because her doggies had gotten into Golpher poison from the backyard. Nini and I rushed and met her at the vet only to find out that the golpher poison called GolpherTox, which contains this horrible ass ingredient that can kill on impact. Zinc Phosphide, the most active ingredient is banned in most states (except of course dumbass california). The intoxication from this chemical causes central nervous system depression, labored breathing, vomiting (often of blood), weakness, convulsions and death. There is no specific antidote. To make matters worst, the vomit contains this toxin that is released in the air which then affects all people, animals and other living things around it. Needlesstosay, we were FREAKED OUT. We had to leave the dogs at the vet for the entire day, in isolation, as they treated them with charcoal (for their stomach) to try and save them from the chemicals. We weren't sure as to how much they ate but as much as .16 of zinc phosphide can kill a 10 lb dog. WHY DO THEY SELL THIS SHIT IN THE UNITED STATES???
Anyways, good news: The dogs are OK. They are doing well now and after spending mad $$$, they are now back with their mamaa JoJo. They even got to finally play with their cousins who love them dearly.
The reason I thought this post was super crucial is because everyone needs to be very careful what type of chemicals and poisons they store around the house and spread in their gardens. Most of these chemicals can be hazardous to pets and humans. Read the labels and educate yourself. You can prevent what happened to Shya and GusGus just by being aware.
