This was on my Flyball Forum so I thought I would post here in case any of you are from that area. Please be careful with your dogs.
3 dogs taken to vets very ill (Market Rasen area). One dog died, the other two, though seriously ill, will be going home. This was confirmed by the vet treating them.
Be very careful in the Wolsey Way/Nettleham Road area (dog walking fields), as dogs have been seriously ill after ingesting poison. Don't know if they died. One vet receptionist said they died, another said seriously ill but didn't know the final outcome.
The bi-chemistry showed nothing at Mk.Rasen.
They don't know what caused it. It wasn't strychnine or methaldahyde
as the symptoms for those poisonings are recognisable.
Vet advised also not to let dogs eat wild rabbits, as the abcesses
on their livers due to myxomatosis can make dogs very ill.
If you are worried, put plastic cage-type muzzles on your dogs when exercising them. This way they can bark, drink but not eat.
Very worrying to say the least.
