Camo will eat anything.
He ate some rat poison, or at least Mommie found some poop that had rat poison in it and it wasn't mine.
The cat was sick and she took the cat to the doctor and the doctor didn't think it was cat poop.
Mommie than took Camo to the Vet and he got a shot of Vitamin K in the butt.
The cat got a shot too, just to be safe.
Mommie got in the car to drive home and Camo started to go nuts.
He kept shaking his head.
Mommie that he had a flea in his ear.
He was jumping all over the car.
He was jumping out of his skin.
Mommie turned the car around and raced back to the vet.
Camo was all pink,
His belly was pink, His ears were pink, His nose was swelling, His eyes were pink.
The doctor said "Allergic Reaction" and quickly gave him two shots.
They waited to see Camo calm down.
The Doctor said he never saw this before, because Vitamin K is what we all have in our bodies.
No, It's not a cereal.
It a clotting vitamin that helps your blood clot and would counter act the poison.
Otherwise Camo could bleed to death.
The doctor said this wasn't good.
Camo needs the Vitamin K pills for 20 days.
He can't have this reaction.
So the Doctor told Mommie that Camo needs Children's Benadryl before taking the Vitamin K pill.
Mommie had to give him the Benadryl, wait 45 minutes and then give him his pill.
She also had to be ready to jump in the car, drive down the mountain to the vet, in case Camo had another attack.
Mommie didn't sleep well that night.
She got everything ready and gave him the Benadryl and the pill and watched him.
You know what Camo did?
He slept.
He was very sleepy all morning.
He didn't go nuts.
He didn't turn pink.
Mommie did the same thing this morning and Camo took another long morning nap.
She has to give the cat and Camo the pills for 20 days and they will be fine.
Mommie doesn't think the cat ate the poison, but they are being extra safe.
I can nap without taking Benadryl and Vitamin K.
The moral of my tale is :
Don't eat rat poison.
Don't even have rat poison around. Not even if you have mice .....
Don't leave the vet's office for a good 15 minutes after an animal gets a shot....you never know.
Camo is fine. Don't worry.

How did you know he had eaten rat poison? Was he sick so you took the poop with you went to the vet?How ever you knew I'm glad you did and they are both all right.
Lucy ate rat poison from somewhere this fall. We didn't know what was wrong until it was almost too late. She only weighs 11 lbs--and she lost a lot of blood very suddenly. I was SO SCARED. She was in intensive care for 5 days, then home on Vitamin K for 21. But she survived, thank God. Thank goodness you were on the ball and figured out what might be wrong so fast. Hugs to Camo.
That sounds really scary. Lola and I are glad that Camo is doing fine now. And the kitty too.
