Puppies love to get their paws on something to chew and that turns owning a puppy is a constant game of vigilance. Puppy owners must make sure they don’t get their teeth on something harmful as they’ll get their paws on the most obscure items. Areas you think are clear of potential hazards or precious items aren’t free from their tenacious investigations.
Frankie is a typical Cocker Spaniel puppy, he’s mischievous, investigative, highly intelligent and a valued member of our family. One of Frankie’s typical hobbies is chewing. Furniture, shoes, remotes and pretty much anything else he can get his teeth on. Frankie’s teething habits have gotten him into more trouble than the destruction of television remotes.
Frankie was trained to go outside at three months old. He was going outside for weeks unattended and nothing had happened at this point. While he was engaging with his usual business outside he managed to find something that had gotten into our yard. Frankie was fine for 30 minutes after returning.
Frankie began to struggle to stand up properly as if he was standing on ice.
His head began to bob as if he was fighting off sleep. We quickly decided to take him to the vets; Frankie was
showing symptoms similar to the late Fluke who passed from cancer. We concluded It was safer to have it confirmed to be minor rather than finding out it was major.
We waited at nine o’clock at night to get him seen. The lobby was filled with pet owners in various states of concern. Frankie was popular among the veterinarians as he got his bloodwork done. He ate something containing cannabis which caused his severe symptoms. Frankie received a hydration shot alongside the recommendation for him not to eat anything. The visit cost $ 270. We had no idea how the item got into our backyard. If we had been monitoring Frankie, this entire scenario could have been avoided and the scare
wouldn’t have happened.
