Just a Poison warning about slug pellets.?

Last year my cat was taken very ill, on investigation at the vets it was found he had for some reason eaten slug pellets, he was very lucky to survive and it took him a month to get back to full health so please if you are thinking of putting them down go to your local garden centre where you can buy ones that don't affect animals.

Reply:or just be a responciable pet owner and keep your cat inside and then you won't have to worry about that.
Reply:These pellets may kill slugs but they also go on to kill many of our garden birds that then eat the slugs
Reply:Slug %26amp; Snail pellets are bad for any animal in the domestic

animal family,as it is designed to dry out the blood and stop

it from flowing through the veins,resulting in the death of either cat or dog,rat poision does the same thing,the only cure is at a vet clinic,we being who we are don't know enough about animal husbandry to help the creature,resulting in its death.
Reply:Hi, That's good information. I remember many years ago with my first two cat's they both came in as if they were drunk, on investigation they had eaten slug pellets this was 30 years ago and i suppose slug pellets have become stronger so it is good that you have drawn it to peoples attention.
Reply:What a kind and responsible cat owner you are to bring this to others attention.



I do hope readers will remember you, when they are thinking of purchasing slug pellets. The back of the container states whether they are dangerous to wildlife and domestic pets and there are some that state they are safe.



Having worked as a Veterinary Nurse many years ago I can remember a cat coming into the surgery that could only walk round and round in circles, in one direction. The poor thing had brain damage from consuming slug pellets.



Thanks again for your warning and I am so glad that your cat recovered.



Well done.
