Why would I want to have an antidote? Typically when I use rat poison.. I want them dead.
In case your dog eats it?Quote:

I have always taken great caution where I put the rat poison out in the barn, so it's not really really a matter of what I use but how careful I am when I use it...which is the way it should be.
factoid; they recommend you switch your type of poison every other bucket to maintain good coverage. So I really don't have a choice to avoid one over the other. The neurotoxin...or "One Bite" style work better IMHO.
Good heads up with the post though...people should heed the warning if they can.
I have no need for it but have always wondered....What if ur pooch were to eat a rat that has succomb to the poison? is there enough in the rat to harm or kill fido?Quote:

So many things around the house that can harm a dog.
I asked that once long ago and the Vet said all the literature warns of secondary toxicity....but she said the chances are very slim due to the quantity of poisoned rats the dog would have to eat to ingest enough secondary poison to do them harm.Quote:

Strange but a true story..
A little off topic but a couple of weeks ago my pup picked up and swallowed a cigarette butt. She started acting drunk and then I couldn't keep her awake. I did a buck 60 all the way to the Brantford emergency vet on a Saturday evening where she eventually threw it up on her own. It was quite a scare, and vet bill, but she is ok. I was really thinking I might lose her. Cigarette butts are no joke and they can certainly kill a pup.
Thanks for the reminder. Someone else posted about their dog getting nicotine poisoning too. As I've said before, there are MANY things out there that are a hazard to a dog. Live long enough, have enough dogs, and you'll have experienced some of them. I only have one dog that gets sidewalk walks and I have to be on the look out .
First dose of nicotine will turn anybody green.Quote:

Wifes cats used to love drinking the dark brown butt tea in the outside ashtrays. Kind of strange how any being can be attracted to the stuff. The cats would actually fight over the tray. And yes there was plenty of fresh water out for them.
They were probably hooked on nicotine after building up a tolerance to it. I wouldn't be surprise if that was the case anyway.Quote:
