That is absolutely shocking! I'm so sorry for you and your beloved dogs.

Strychnine was in common use on sheep stations in Australia in the 1950s as a fox control. I'm not sure if it's still used - it shouldn't be.

The only solution in those bad old days was to get as much salt and water down the dog's throat as possible to induce vomiting. It worked well more often than not.

I can't image why your vets.wouldn't listen to you - awful!

I think the only pop pourri to have in your home is the one you make yourself with rose petals, lavender and scented leaves.
