Bad news.

Well it's going to be a long night.
About 3:00 my little mini-pin got one of those rat poison cubes.
It was the male, he's about 18 lbs and 12 years old.
The emergency Vet. gave him a shot to get him to throw it up and he said that he got a lot of it out of him.
It won't take effect for 8 to 10 hours and all we can do now is watch him.
He will either be OK or there's nothing that can be done.

:cry: Keeping fingers crossed. (((Gummy)))

The * by names means those are set. Still looking for that someone special for the others so everybody keep an eye out. And thanks for your efforts! :)
PLEASE if you would, PM me if you're interested in starting any Welcome thread.
As the guest of honor it's not up to you to get someone to start any threads. We do that for you. But if you have someone special in mind, PM me your request. :) Please keep in mind though, said person must be an ECF Veteran.
All welcome threads should be started in the Veterans Forum EARLY morning the day before. If that is not possible, the night before.


Welcome to the ECF Pre-Vet thread!

A Pre-Vet is an ECF member that is about to have their status "Turn" to ECF-Veteran on or about the anniversary of their ECF sign up. You also need anywhere from 70 and 75 post.

This thread is where you can hang out (courtesy of Whiskey creating this thread) and celebrate becoming an ECF-Veteran with other ECF members. You have the option (but not the obligation) to have an Avatar Theme Celebration on your turning day. You select a theme, and many of the group here will help celebrate by changing their avatars. Kind of an avatar costume party. You'll also get a bunch of congrats and a welcome thread created in a sub-forum for vets that pre-vets can't even see yet. If you want to have an avatar theme, start thinking about it!

We will not turn away last minute request, but please try to give us enough advanced notice so we can dig something up for pics. Two weeks prior to your turning date would be awesome.
We try to limit scheduling to the current and the following month.

If you are a pre-veteran and want a welcome thread in the Veteran's Forum and or an avatar theme for your turning day please do the following: Post in this thread and PM me your request.

This thread moves fast so as a final safeguard double check the list that is posted here several times a day sometime before your turning day.
Or the list here: PreVet List: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rs/115895-group-news-notices.html#post3443853

We do our best to accommodate multiple members turning on the same date. Each member is free to choose their own theme; participants rotate and/or combine themes as desired.

Joining in on the celebration is for all members (new and old) so please feel free to participate in the themes for others if you wish. If you are not a Vet yet and want your pic added to Celebrant's thread in the Veterans Forum, there is a Depot located in the Sandbox.
Once you get to the Sandbox, look for the celebrant's thread and follow instructions.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/sandbox/

Again, I post this list frequently on this thread.
List can also be found here: PreVet List: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rs/115895-group-news-notices.html#post3443853

I had it blocked with a basket so he couldn't get to it but Tina was mopping the floor and picked up the basket, then she went outside to wash out the A/C filter. When she came back in he was chewing it. We couldn't get him to throw it up and poison control said that it over the threshold. that a 1/2 of a cube he would have been OK. So we found an emergency Vet.
The vet said he thinks he will be OK, (but that he may not be either).

We live out in the country and were having a problem with some mice for a few weeks now usually it is just one per year. but this seems to be several.
The poison wasn't working but those sticky traps caught 2. But I don't like those sticky traps because the mouse is just stuck to it when you find them the next morning and I feel bad about their not dieing quickly. and when you pick up the trap they start screaming so horribly.

got the same problem here but found some traps that catch the mice without harm. then i take them for a ride and release them 2 miles down the road .......

gummy, my thoughts will be with you and the pup. but all in all, there seems to be room for plenty of hope. if he would have been ok with 1/2 of a cube, as per poison control, and the vet got him to vomit most of the cube he chewed, his chances should be great.

We're rooting for your buddy Gummy.

I hate to be a dumb white guy... but.... IDK.... it's probably genetic :)lol:) ..... I guess I can do some research... but is there any easy way to tell Cherokee Indian from other Tribes? I don't want to F it up. Maybe it's a dumb question.........IDK.


That is a very good question.

The Cherokee's are a southeastern tribe, Atty. Many of them were forced to move to the southwest, by Andrew Jackson. See "the trail of tears". The NDN's that are stereotypical, with the war bonnets and horses, are the western plains tribes.
