Hello Everybody,
What we are trying to do is rule out poisoning. If we can't then we can be quite sure it is a toxin. But what? Acute lead poisoning and organophosphates were tested for and ruled out.
The question now is, what toxins can cause these synptoms?
Many, many years ago when I was a child our dog was poisoned. It was in the evening when suddenly she hauled and cried out and ran off jumped over the fence and she was gone. Next day we found her about 400 metres down the road - dead. (No traffic accident as there weren't any cars in the village.) Diagnosis: poisoning. However I can't remember what the poison was.
But when I heard the story of the 'crying ferrets' the incident with our dog came to my mind.
We were convinced that our dog was deliberately poisoned because of an issue with a neighbour. This was 60 years ago.
What poison kills like this?
Regards,
Christina
