What a morning in the ewelsh household, I was busy gardening when I saw The Kray twins playing with a tiny cardboard box, I went to look and saw it was Libby’s Maxitrol eye drops….
I grabbed both Phoebe and Dolly forcing my fingers in their mouth sniffing their breath… nothing…
I ran in the house searching frantically for Libbys eye drops, nowhere to be seen… frantically googled about ingested eye drops which stated “ contact vets immediately or poison control”
I rang my vets hysterically and explained, they asked if they had definitely swallowed the drops, I said I couldn’t be sure but the drops were no where to be found.
They asked if I had charcoal tablets, of course I had used them all up when the Kray twins tried to eat a toad. So I had to rush them in immediatel.

So I fly through the vets door looking an absolute fright, wellies, old joggers, dirty t shirt, with two baffled Westie‘s under each arm… the surgery was full and everyone was very concerned when I explained I had to jump the queu.
The vet took us straight through, feeling their tummies looking in their eyes mouth etc, the nurse came in to help, then I rubbed myself trying to calm myself down and then I froze…

Libbys eye drops were down my bra 😳 I didnt know if I should laugh or cry….

How embarrassing

Could only happen to you - I do miss your "disaster" stories when you're away, the funny ones that make me laugh out loud that is !!

(I had similar when I thought Lily had ingested one of my Metformin tablets - after phoning the poison line and getting her to the vet urgently (where they kept her in for fluids , observation etc) I finally found said tablet UNDER my bed. So a couple of hours later, red faced and with my wallet a couple of hundred pounds lighter I brought her back home. Lesson learnt - NEVER leave any of my meds within paw's reach :eek:)

Honestly these pets of mine, I put Libby drops down my bra this morning as she hates cold drops, I completely forgot they were there. I have a small drawer where all things like this go because I can‘t trust Libby the “ knock it off the worktop queen”
My vet laughed when said drops were discovered. At least I wasn’t charged nor had my girls had treatment like you
@Bertie'sMum 😯

Off back to vets now, praying Lottie is a good girl for once…..

I’ve only just seen this and boy oh boy did it make me chuckle :)

(Glad everything was alright in the end and could become a funny story)
