But the jumping rat was in the back and I started leaving poison in its hole as well and have not sealed it up. The last time I hit him was about a week ago. Tonight my neighbor knocked on the door to say that their dog was at the vet and the vet thought the dog had rat poison in its system. mile case and should make a full recovery with Vitamin E shot. I baited the hole on my side of the fence, but the burrow goes to their side of the yard, and we think the dog was digging back there, so the rat may have died and the dog ate it or the rat may have carried the poison over. Either way though its not certain I suspect my poison may have gotten into the dogs system. I have been talking to the neighbors about all of this for weeks as its a big problem this summer.
So what should i do. I showed the husband what I used, told him I felt terrible and will not be using the poison anymore. I think I may offer to pay the vet bill? (yikes). Send something to them like a dog toy? Thoughts? thanks.
