Pet Dog Poisoned

[Ron19]

Too bad!!! I feel with you! The only way is a camera and still than, when you know? Very sad!

The only thing about taking photo's is that these B#*@!#&Ds are only laying them at night and any that are not taken by the dogs are most likely picked up by say 5 in the morning and maybe put out again at night.I haven't heard about any cats being poisoned then again it must also happen.

Sad topic. Few days ago, while I was out in Malaysia of my dog ​​was poisoned too. It happens very quickly: he was ok, but after 2 hours he was found dead in the garden. Shit! No chance to save him. Definitely rat poison.

Nice thai people...

That's awful, whether accidental or not.

Could you have your maid help build some bridges between you and the workers ? (Their fault or not, this may be worthwhile.) Oh, but perhaps that's a stupid idea. I don't know.

I am so sorry about your dog and hope she will be well. Do let us know here.

Looking from the other side of the fence, I live on quite a nice housing area. However a few dog owners let their dogs roam all day long, others let them out early in the morning..result dog mess on the road and pavements. The Village Management have asked dog owners not to be so thoughtless but they ignore it...do you by any chance know what poison was used.

Hi Everyone,

My dog is stable and still at the vet for now. Thank you for all your advice and thoughts...and by the way, my dogs never leave our house except to go the vet. There's no place to take them for a walk around here, and I think they wouldn't have a clue what to do if they encountered a car or another dog. I took them to a friend's house once to socialize with her dog, and they didn't know what they were expected to do. Okay, my pups are only a year old, but still, I thought dogs were supposed to be social creatures.

It's probably a bit late now. You're supposed to socialise puppies when they're about 8 weeks old.

Just a couple of hours ago one of my dogs ate some poison, this is the second time it has happened, first time to another dog (we have 4 dogs).

Our immediate action was to literally pour cooking oil and raw eggs down their throat to induce vomiting. A very scary experience watching one of your loved ones go through the horrors. Just checked and she is as good as back to normal now.

We live on 6 rai surrounded by farm land and as much as I hate to tie my dogs up, we have to do it. I try and let them go for runs whenever there are no farmers out working in the fields. I take them for walks, but is no comparison for exercise like the freedom to run.

There are a lot of stray dogs in the area that frequently kill chickens, so our next door neighbour has tried to bait these dogs and told us not to let our dogs free when he does this.

Unfortunately these strays are way too clever.

I am trying to train the dogs to just stay on our land when I let them free, but that's like telling your kids they can only go on one ride at Disneyland, and that's the merry-go-round.

But the poisoning didn't come from my neighbour, farmers nearby don't like dogs and also the wife says there are a few jealous Thais in the village who obviously don't like my presence and they just want to kill our dogs........didn't consider the robbery aspect until I read this thread....something else to consider.

BTW my neighbour has also had one of his dogs poisoned, but thankfully with cooking oil and raw eggs he is still with us.

Just thought I'd share that as most of us have those ingredients at hand for such emergencies. That's 3 lives saved with this method.

Have seen the egg and cooking oil method used on two occasions and can say that it works.You need two people,one to hold the dog and one to administer the mixture using a cut down yakult (or simular)bottle making sure they swallow it all before you let them go.

Sorry for the photo quality but you should be able to see what is used to administer the mixture.

this is a worrying fight against all obsticles put in our way,apart from poison theres rats,frogs and what other dogs carry.we have ours protected against rabbies heartworm distemper and athough he is in a secure area you cannot watch him all day.he is kept indoors overnight and i dont let him out in the morning without checking the garden first,there are so many cats about it easy for a poisoned rat to be killed and left in your garden for your dog to pick up.the oil and raw egg treatment is always on standby[never without an egg] but lets hope i never have to use it

Pesticide for Soft Fruit is the method preferred by Cowards in our area. Injected neat into a Sausage,it doesn't smell, and you cant save em, gone in a flash, they spin and die. Which would happen to the Cowards who killed my 2, should i ever meet th em.

I have lost three dogs over the last four years and feel like doing the same to those responsible but then you would spend the rest of your life in the "Bangkok Hilton".I have been more careful with the two dogs that I have at present by keeping them well fed and locked up upstairs at night.Also when walking them during the day,I have been able to stop them picking up anything from the side of the road that took their fancy.

I don't have a dog now, but did in the past. I'll admit that I never went through the specific training for him, although he was smart enough to learn just about anything.

There is a specific type of "poison" training one can do, so that the dog absolutely will NOT each ANYTHING unless he's told a specific code word.

Use an unusual but simple word, and the dog could get close to starving before eating without hearing that word. Means, of course, that you've got to tell someone else that word if they are caring for your pet at any time.

I think a search could turn up instructions for that poison training. I know it does work, as I've seen someone else use it in an off-leash park with her dog, which refused to take a treat from someone until she said the code word.

Mine never left my Fenced and Gated Garden. Neither did they Bark. Just a Jealous Local. A Siko i'm afraid,hes done the same to Thai Doggy Folks too. I now know who he is.So do the Thai Neighbours.God help him, or perhaps not.

I live in a village in Isan... and have had dogs poisoned here. But it was only for killing chickens (the fact that one of them had never killed a chicken in her short life didn't save her... but in fairness I think that was just a mistake on the poisoner's part).

In my case, the main protection is teaching my dogs not to chase chickens. This I have done; the dogs are well known to the villagers, and I don't think are at any risk.

The other way to protect them is to teach them never to accept food from strangers, or to pick up food in the street. The first part is easy; get a few people who don't know them to give them snacks of juicy chicken loaded with cayenne pepper. That'll teach 'em! The second part is much harder,as dogs are naturally scavengers... but I am sure there are threads on this forum telling you how to do it.
