Re: Deadline MP
It may not be attractive to some dogs, or even most dogs, but mine ate the stuff
like candy at a friends nursery and almost died. Luckily, I saw her doing it
and got her to the vet, where they emptied her stomach, it was a very pretty
blue color, and put her on intravenous anti-convulsives overnight. If you
think you can just throw poisons around like that you are kidding yourself, and
probably killing things you don't necessarily want to.
