Toxic levels of Iron in a dog are 50mg per kg. So for our "sweet little boy" that would be about 500 mg.
how did i learn this, you might ask? Oh that's simple. Our "sweet little boy" decided that my iron supplement looked delicious. It was at this moment I suddenly realized (though to a much smaller degree) what a mother feels like when her child finds his way to the cleaning supplies.
there was scolding, hugging, an attempt at inducing vomit (it only worked on me), and finally a stifled call to the vet. Thankfully our "sweet little boy" only ingested 65mg so we are safe.
lessons learned for he day...
1. regardless of teaching, training or awful stench dogs will ingest anything
2. dogs do not have an auto-gag button
3. I can be a good mommy, if I can ever learn to put things out of reach
4. Speed dial is my friend
