Speak out!

A very sad story from Susan, the veterinarian whose blog is called Pet Peeves. She works nights in an animal emergency room. A little kitten was brought in with acetaminophen toxicosis.
It only takes one little pill to kill a small animal. Cats don't have the proper enzymes to metabolize Tylenol, and so dropping a pill and failing to pick it up could prove lethal to a pet.
The vet also recommends that you never give an over-the-counter medication to any pet without checking with a doctor.
Susan also links to this story about Bolero, a little pup who ate some poisonous seeds and managed to pull through with some heroic work by his doctors. Bolero will not eat Sago Palm seeds again.
