Oh that is horrible. Why did the people leave poison out? To kill strays? Was it rat poison? As a child our 2 year old black pug named Boo Boo got into the basement of my step fathers home and ate the rat poison he had left down there. He has Boo Boo on a strict diet so she wouldn't get too fat as some pugs do. Back fired.
Jasmine was a street dog for the first two months of her life. It was hard to get her to stop gobbling up food scraps people would toss. Alance was a lot more picky but even he would eat scraps at times. I admitted this to the veterinarian and Alance's original rescuer. His rescuer spent thousands of dollars on life support for him. I contributed the equivalent of 700USD when got sick. I thought it was best we put him to sleep because I exsperienced his Addison's attack and was told there was 20% chance of survival. She was fully convinced that I had poisend him because I didn't want to take him home. This was the driving force for her to put him through 7 days of life support while the Veterinarians slowly figured out that he hadn't been poised but suffered an Addison's attack. Its unfortunate that since returning him to her she has not remained in contact with me. I believe she is ashamed of accusing me of poisoning him. With his Addison's he must take medication every day as well as receive an immunity injection once a month. These medications are over $100 each month. His rescuer has more than 60 animals in her shelter. She refuses to let a single stray animal she crosses go with out help. She is an Angel from Doggie Heaven.
