Calling the Doctor

Well I made a mistake that caused problems for Ellee--and scared me to death.  I laid some grilled onion ringswrapped in saran wrap on my desk and accidently knocked it to the floor without knowing---and ELLEE ATE THEM!  (not the wrapper)   I called the doctor immediately and was told to give her 5 teaspoons  of hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspooon per 10 pounds of body weight) and i could soak it into a small piece of bread if that helped....if she did not throw up in 20 minutes i could repeat it once.   Onions are DANGEROUS for dogs to eat with many SERIOUS effects.  Fortunately she did vomit after about 45 minutes after the second round.   Our doctors at Animal Wellness  (Michele Hendricks and Kathleen Hutton) are excellent vets who are willing to treat your dog like your family member and go as simple or as detailed as you prefer your animal care to scale.  They refer us to the Animal Care Center on Kemper Road for  after hour emergencies like the onion ring incident.  Either way we get excellent care--the Care Center follows the same philosophy to make sure you are well informed and have the right to make your own choice of care level.  And they both do wonderful medical care.  We do want our animal friends to have good health care in addition to all the love we can give them....so we keep them on pest controllers like sentinel, tick repelers and get the proper exams,including dental care.  FINAL WORDS--ELLEE IS FINE NOW!!!! AND I AM MUCH MORE CAREFUL!!!
