We're returning from la Bresse in a very wet and flooded France.
Parked up for the night, dinner in the oven, wine on the table when our Border Collie makes a dive into the bin where I'd thrown a small piece of Christmas cake! Panic... trying to find a vet nearby who was open on New Years Day... found one willing to treat the hound so we race to him. Got there in time to have an emetic injected... three huge vomits later he's pronounced clear of any more cake and an antidote to the first injection administered... big sighs of relief!
Thank goodness I saw him eat the cake.... he's feeling a bit crestfallen today but otherwise well.
I can't help wondering what would have happened if he'd eaten it unseen.
