DOG lover Philip Wilkinson has urged pet owners to be on their guard after his retriever became ill after a walk in the New Forest.<\/p>\n
Nine-year-old Buster suffered severe sickness and a swollen stomach after a walk at South Oakley near Burley.<\/p>\n
The black, flat-coated retriever was rushed to the PDSA hospital the following day and spent two nights on antibiotics and a drip before being allowed home.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is normally a very healthy dog so I think he must have eaten something poisonous,\u201d said Philip, of Curzon Road, Bournemouth. \u201cI don\u2019t know if anyone had left anything deliberately or whether there are plants or fungi that are poisonous to dogs \u2013 I just wanted to warn people to keep an eye on their pets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Buster was unable to eat for several days but is now on the mend.<\/p>\n
Veterinary charity the PDSA warns increasing numbers of pets are being treated for accidental poisoning.<\/p>\n
Spokesman Alexander Campbell said: \u201cSadly many of those things can prove fatal. It is vitally important that owners keep any substances that can harm pets well out of reach and react quickly and responsibly if they suspect poisoning might have occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
