Other Tanks vet visit

[theparrisfive]

I walked the back yard this morning and noticed one of our tomato plants grew through the fence and you can tell it was chewed on. vet said they are toxic to dogs and believes that is what caused the hives. he looks good this morning just a few bumps still has some loose bowels vet wants him to stay on benedryl 3x a day for a few more days till everything is out of his system we have to take him back immediately though if he becomes lethargic or starts puking.

Oh yes I have heard they r toxic but have never seen it first hand. Glad he is doing better!

 

[bullmama]

Oh yes!! They are toxic, not the tomato but the stem and leaves! I hope he gets better now, poor baby!

Had to stay for how long? How is he? Poor baby. He's in my prayers

 

[DesertBum]

Get well soon Tank!

 

[Fontanafox]

Oh dear oh dear! I hope they are able to give Tank something to counteract the toxicity. Shoot, if they got stuff for snake bites, surely there is something for a plant.

Oh poor baby! Praying till we hear good news!

he was stable as of last night. had to have several shots and were giving him a high dose of benedryl, steroids and they gave him something for the swelling. they open in a half hour and ill definately be calling to check on him then.

Oh my ill be looking for more updates on this n be saying prayers he is ok soon. So was it the tomatoes? I hope he is back home with you soon. I know how hard it is to not have your baby home with you.

said hes doing a lot better and as long as the morning goes ok he should be able to go home this afternoon. it was the tomato plant they did a charcoal treatment last night to counter act the toxins. im definately going to be looking up all my plants after this to make sure no others are poisonous. we also used chicken wire around the tomatoes so that they wont grow into the fence again.
