Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 9 months old | 72 lbs
I suspect my dog has been poisioned with strycnine (rat poison) he can't move and keeps limbing. He is barely breathing. Both of his eyes look very strange but his left eye is very red with oedema in his eyebrow. It is also rolled backwards. He has rigid breathing, he can't eat, only drink water and milk, he deficates normally but doesn't pee. He didn't have any seizures. What do i do? Is there an easy treatment for this? The nearest vet is closed and i am afraid he will die if it continues.
