had the worst evening - we are going away tomorrow for a week (dogs coming & staying with us as usual) and I had packed Ddogs medication for the week in a plastic pill container with 14 compartments for morn and evening each day, and packed it in a zippy pouch bag. Then put pouch bag in with dog food tins and other stuff in a big travel bag and left by front door for DH to pour in car with other stuff later on. Went out with toddler to do some errands. Get call from DH during errands to say he is on way to vet at high speed as Ddog has chewed into bags and managed to open the pill box and eaten SEVEN DAYS worth of medicine. Dog has been kept over nights at vets to see if he will pull through.
i am devastated- my fault for leaving luggage on floor. Dog has never done this before. I feel truly awful and just so so worried. Have managed to rebook departure tomorrow so we could go in the evening. Vet said that he will either pull through and be ok, and should be fine to go as planned or he won’t. We have to call at 9am tomorrow morning to see how he has been.
i obviously cannot sleep with the worry.
the reason for going away is to attend my grandmothers funeral on Monday.. awful already but even more awful now.
His medicine is serious stuff. A barbiturate for probable epilepsy and medication for low grade heart disease. He’s 15 so no spring chicken. A rescue..been with us since he was 11. my heart is broken and I am so so worried for him 😭🙏
