Thank you so much for sharing you...Dear Michelle, <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. If it's alright, I'd like to post your comment into the body of the post as it would be helpful for others to know the symptoms of snail bait poisoning. I'm not sure how many people read the comments section! <br /><br />I don't have your email. Could you please write me at the email address you see here? If you send me the picture you took, I could post that too.<br /><br />I'm glad Oscar recovered! We need some happy endings :)georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-52627800045659525082011-03-12T14:45:57.816+11:002011-03-12T14:45:57.816+11:00Hi again! Thanks very much. I have read your Novem...Hi again! Thanks very much. I have read your November post. Wish i had found your blog sooner :)<br />Yes, we see you around Balmain often. I have Oscar the border collie.<br />My only thing to note to other dog owners is that if you see your dog eat something that you are unsure about, watch them closely for the next hour or so. And if they begin behaving oddly, get them straight to the vet.<br />We saw Oscar eat meat last year at Mort Bay, but the speed with which he became obviously ill was frightening. After around 30 mins he became agitated - he kept running to the garden to dig himself a spot in the dirt(his temperature was extremely high). He was shivering uncontrollably. We called SASH who told us to drive him there, and by the time i got off the phone (1-2 mins), he couldn't walk properly, his legs were buckling, so we put him straight in the car and raced to SASH. 5 mins in the car and he was vomiting uncontrollably, diarrhea too. He couldnt hold his head up by the time we got to SASH. All of this took place in no more than an hour after he ate the bait. We only found out that it was bait after we went back to the park after Oscar was stable and found a ball of the baited meat. <br />When people mention the suspected poisoning... there is NO DOUBT it was deliberate. I had 2 balls of meat with poison packed tightly inside. They were both handed to the police. I still have photos of one of them. The ball of meat was large, like a tennis ball. <br />Anyway, just posting this long story so you may be aware... If your dog behaves strangely after eating something, waste no time in getting them to the vet. It still makes me sick to think that someone can be so cruel to animals. I'll call the police through the week as i spoke to them often after Oscar was poisoned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-50681395528559213832011-03-12T09:55:13.958+11:002011-03-12T09:55:13.958+11:00@ Michelle - I'm having problems posting the l...@ Michelle - I'm having problems posting the link here for some reason.<br /><br />You'll find it in the archives.

I have an older post where you can read about my phone call to the police last year when I'd heard that the culprit had been apprehended. The post is called "At last, a poison update." <br /><br />Unfortunately, there's been no news from the authorities (that I'm aware of) and apparently, no good outcome. As an owner of a dog that got poisoned, I think you have every right to ask them for info. It's harder for those of us not directly involved. <br /><br />If you do call the police/council/SPCA, it would be great if you would send me an email or leave a comment here for others in the local dog community to share.<br /><br />Thanks again for dropping by. P.S. Do we, by any chance, know your dog?georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-33120017419980406802011-03-12T09:20:35.984+11:002011-03-12T09:20:35.984+11:00Hi! i just found your blog looking for information...Hi! i just found your blog looking for information about the suspected poisoning at Ewenton. It is horrible. Poor Charlie and his family. I saw that you had written that the Mort Bay Poisoner was arrested. I hadnt heard anything with regard to this. Any information would be appreciated.

She said it was ruled out to be a tick because it was so fast acting and the vets would have found it (he had a short coat). <br /><br />Terri called the police and made a report and apparently someone has put a hand written sign up at the park. Although it says a little dog died and Charlie was quite a big dog, but maybe they just heard it was a puppy that died...<br /><br />I really think there should be some sort of update from the police or council about the last poisonings, they said at the Sunday rally that they would keep us in the loop but that seems to have been forgotten!<br /><br />The people who made those "reward" posters last time as going to put more up as it may help to deter anyone in the future at other parks if they are everywhere.<br /><br />Have a great week.<br />CalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-72374022887378034832011-03-08T06:29:58.069+11:002011-03-08T06:29:58.069+11:00Such a horribly sad post.

He opened the file and confirmed a dog had died, but it was inconclusive of whether it died from poison or a snake bite. The treating vet did not perform an autopsy, which personally I find appalling given the history of baiting in Balmain – regardless of the cost and who should pay for it. Given the history of snakes in Balmain, I think we should err on the side of this being poisoning. <br /> <br />Thanks ….. gill and co. <br /><br />….. ooops, and the constable said no one was charged with last year’s poisoning – the evidence was too inconclusive.
