WOOFS to all my furiends! Well, the momma and I just want to make sure that some things are clear about my poisoning.
Firstly, momma did not see me ingest it.
Secondly, momma and no one else has found poison at our dog park, or in the wooded trails outside of the park where we walk almost daily.
We have talked to many people we know that dead rats have been found recently in the wooded trails where we walk and don't appear to have outward signs of injury.
We have heard many reports of canned dog food, treats, bags of chicken bones, etc. that have allegedly been tainted or poisoned, but at this point, we are waiting for verification that the foods have been tested.
We have told reporters, all of them, that our park could be a possible place where it happened, but that we or no one else has seen any. There have been other sick dogs at the park, and some have been diagnosed with Leptospirosis. Our vet said I did not have Leptospirosis. Reporters have said "Mo was poisoned at Westcrest Park" which is NOT what we said. We said it was a possibility.
So, we don't know if it was an intentional act aimed at dogs in the woods, or an careless, unintentional act by a household near the woods leaving rat poison around their property, or if someone threw something in our yard.
If and when we get any verified information, we are gonna let everyone know!
Until then, we know that I almost didn't make it, and 9 days later, I am feeling great! About 85% of normal!! Now, THAT's news, and GOOD news!!
Love,
Mo and the momma
