poisoning Options

[TeK]

does anyone know of any poisons that can be given to a dog that can make it drop dead in about 3-4 hours?


Left for school yesterday around 7am, got home around 11:30-12:00, to find one of my dogs just dead. the dog was completly current on all shots and was completly healthy before I left for school, didnt act weird at all, was eating and drinking just fine.

thanks for the help

Well, after a few visits to a vet, we were able to save 2 of the dogs, at least we think so so far. They ran every test we could run, and they came up ok.

The vet told us, that most poisons that dogs injest, as in rat poison, antifreeze, lighter fluid, or various other lawn chemicals, take a few days to take effect and most show signs, because they start to get kidney/liver failure and the signs of the poisoning are pretty clear then.

But they said theres no way to test for every single poison.

As for the autopsy, they werent really sure, because he died between 8:30am and 11am,
there were no signs of struggle, no broken bones, no blood/bleeding, the food and water werent messed with, so we decided against the autopsy, since they wouldnt give us back the dog afterwards to bury it.


The dog that died was 7yrs old, AKC registered, champion bred. I'll find a pic, he was a damn good dog.
