Info about Bear's antifreeze poisoning
Unless you read it on the mycorgi post or hear it on the our local news you wouldn't know about poor Bear and her encounter with Anti-freeze.
On the 18th of Feb. our neighbor came into pur fenced back yard in the middle of the night and put Anti-freeze in my two Corgi's water bowl. They are inside dogs (but when they are outside playing I want them to have water.) On the 19th Bear only drank from it and I noticed she wasn't acting normal right away so I was looking on our porch to see if she ate something like a frog or lizard and threw it back up so I could tell the vet what it was. I noticed blue in the water bowl, freeked out because I was pretty sure it was Anti-freeze which after tested it turned out it was. They started the antidote and charcoal treated right away. She was in the emergency vet at night and then I regular vet during the day so I was taking her back and forth because someone had to watch her 24 hrs a day. On the 21st they told me there was nothing else they could do for her as her kidneys were starting to fail. They said in Cooper City Fla , about 2 hrs south of me they had a Dialysis machine that might help. So I took her right away to them. They started Dialysis but called me at 12:00am and said that the Machine had stoped working and my only hope was to take her to Gainesville, Fl to UF Vet school because they have only 1 of 4 Hemodialysis machines in the US. I picked her up and drove thru the night and got her there at 7:00am. They started treatment, not giving me much hope she would live. She was taking 3 treatments a week up until this past monday when they called and told me her kidneys were functioning properly and there was no further need for Dialysis at all. She seems to have come thru it without alot of damage but only time will tell for sure. We were so very lucky! We are waiting for the evidence to come back from the lab so hopefully we can charge the S.O.B with animal cruelty. If that fails I will press other charges to make him pay for they $20,000.00 in vet bills and to make sure it's in the papers and Tv so everyone knows what he did.

Bear is so lucky to have an owner so dedicated to her recovery... Some people mightve just given up hope! I do hope you catch that heartless bastard and he gets the worst... People are sick... I just want to ask him, "WHY?!".....he must be a lonely loser.....im glad that there are leads in the case though and that Bear is doing well.

Thanks Jerri, The blood work showed antifreeze in her blood. I did file a police report and they are very determined to arrest him. There is a $10,000.00 reward for him so we have got some leads from that so we do have evidence. We are waiting for lab reports to come back. I'll keep all posted.

You are one devoted and caring corgi owner. Bear is lucky she is so loved by you.
The person that did this is beyond evil. Did you file a police report? Will the blood work show she was poisoned? To go from she won't make it to she's off dialysis is a miracle alone! Please keep us posted on the legal side but more so how Bear is doing.
Bless you for being so persistent! Jerri
