Sophie is one lucky puppy.
The four-month-old Entlebucher mountain dog has made a full recovery after ingesting drugs multiple times while out on walks in Chemainus. She required emergency vet treatment in Nanaimo three times in less than a month, starting on Boxing Day evening.
The Chemainus Ball Park and downtown香蕉视频直播檚 Waterwheel Park are now off limits, just in case.
香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 go up there with her anymore, I don香蕉视频直播檛 want to take the chance,香蕉视频直播 said owner Michele Yeoman, who doesn香蕉视频直播檛 plan on ever making a fourth emergency trip.
Sophie got into remnants of cannabis and amphetamines left on the field.
香蕉视频直播淗er head started bobbing and she got wobbly on her feet,香蕉视频直播 noted Yeoman. 香蕉视频直播淚t was actually frightening. You don香蕉视频直播檛 know if your dog is going to live or die and how much they香蕉视频直播檝e ingested.香蕉视频直播
Each occurrence when Sophie showed problematic symptoms was at night.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just a very bad experience,香蕉视频直播 Yeoman indicated. 香蕉视频直播淔rom what I香蕉视频直播檝e been told by the vet three hours after they香蕉视频直播檝e ingested they begin to show signs.香蕉视频直播
Sophie saw three different vets during her emergency care. The presence of Benzodiazepine or Benzos, for short, was detected in Sophie香蕉视频直播檚 system the last time she went to the vet.
One test she was given involved the injection of liquid charcoal. Once her poop came out black, it was an indication everything was functioning normally again. The charcoal was administered once at home and twice in the emergency bed.
Sophie didn香蕉视频直播檛 eat a whole joint or anything, but it was obviously enough to cause concern and vets are seeing a rise in these cases with pot being legal.
And trips to the vet for emergencies aren香蕉视频直播檛 cheap. Yeoman said the three treatments cost her more than $1,000 and it would have been a lot more if any overnight stays were required.
Sophie was nine weeks old when Yeoman obtained her from a breeder. The tri-coloured Entlebucher mountain dog is a medium-sized herding dog, the smallest of the four regional breeds known as herders in the Swiss Alps. The dogs are determined movers of cattle and happiest with a job to perform.
You香蕉视频直播檒l see Yeoman and Sophie walking downtown, at the beach or on the Cowichan Valley Trail alongside the Mount Brenton Golf Course. Yeoman walks the dog 2-3 times a day.
香蕉视频直播淪he has to, she has so much energy,香蕉视频直播 said Yeoman. 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 see where I香蕉视频直播檓 going, I香蕉视频直播檓 watching her. Half the time I wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 know if she picked something up. Puppies are so quick.香蕉视频直播
