To All My Forum Friends:
My 3yr old mini dachshund, ZOE, died of “Decon” ingestion this week. I would like to share with you the telltale signs so that you might not have such a tragedy happen to you and your dog.
I had opened up the fence between my neighbor and my yard to repair and replace some fencing. I knew my dogs would go to their yard since it was open x 2 days, and walked the small property to look for any dangerous items. I specifically was looking for the signature blue/yellow box that Decon comes in. Unfortunately it comes in other containers also.
I always thought of myself as a good parent to my animals and would do anything to keep them from harm. But I wasn’t diligent enough in my search.
The signs of decon ingestion are obvious if you collect your dogs feces (poop). Their poop becomes blue/green in color in the first days, but no other changes/symptoms are obvious, until it is too late! Those signs are bruising/swelling on the body (in Zoe’s case, it was on her lower abdomen and leg a week later).
We are devastated by the loss of our baby and posting this so it may not happen to anyone else.
