Scots dog owner issues warning as beloved pet almost dies eating Christmas decorations
A Scots vet has issued a warning to pet owners after a dog nearly died eating homemade Christmas decorations. The couple from Livingston feared their pet was going to die after it wolfed down items from the tree made with salt dough.
The salt dough decorations are made from flour, salt and water. Jane said: “It was all a bit hectic as my daughter was three and my son was just one month old, but I’d made them before and Teisha hadn’t bothered so I didn’t even think there would be an issue. Top news stories today As it was late in the evening, they called Vets Now and were told to take Teisha straight to the Edinburgh clinic. Vet Kerrie Lovett explained: “The high salt content of the dough led to a dangerously high level of sodium in Teisha’s blood.
“Dogs are opportunists and will eat almost anything, so you should always seek veterinary advice as early as possible if you are concerned.”
