Treatment of Poisoning
The signs of poisoning vary depending on what poison has been swallowed. However, the common signs are:
Vomiting/retching
Violent twitching
Collapse
Should your dog appear to have any of the above, straight to the vets without delay and ALSO, very importantly bring any of the poison with you to the vets so it can be examined and then the correct form of treatment can be administered.
Do not induce vomiting if you suspect that that barbiturates, kerosene or any corrosive has been swallowed, or if the dog is convulsing. I would add that recent poison laid down around the Ruislip area would be considered as corrosive (anti-freeze). If you suspect any illness to your dog, play safe and straight to the vets.

***ATTENTION NEEDED***(Update)
Ruislip Woods has had someone apparently putting down meat laced with anti-freeze. Please take every precaution with your dogs particularly just off the main paths. See anything or anyone suspicious......report it!
Our phantom meat marinader has been active again, this time by Links Way Northwood. As you enter the path from Links Way and turn right to go up the sandy path towards Ducks Hill contaminated meat has been found nestling the edge of the paths.
This is in my walk zone so I shall certainly be very active in observing all those around me and paying attention to my dogs.
Please read my article about dealing with Poisoning

"Walking Out" morning and a winter Ramble
Saturday 24th January please join me for a walking out morning with our dogs around Ruislip Lido culminating in a cup of tea at "Mino's" cafe and a few easy exercises afterwards. Meet at 9:30am at the top Lido car park
As per normal please wear appropriate clothing for inclement weather and remember: You don't get bad weather, only bad clothes
The following weekend Saturday 31st January there is also a winter ramble...............This will take place in Sarratt where we will meet at the Cock Inn which is at Church Lane, Sarratt, Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 6HH
Please meet at 10:30am in the pub car park
The ramble is a nice leisurely one around the Chess valley but, it has two fairly steep hills and might be tough going in wet weather
At the conclusion of the walk a pint of Spitfire with bangers and mash is the order of the day!
I would like to invite any non-members of Stixnbones to come along to either event as it is very enjoyable and we have a great crowd (and dogs)
