I wanted to share an email from this morning:
“Hi I am writing because something happened with my dog, she snagged a bar of dark chocolate last night and swallowed it wrapper and all before I could stop her she is like that. I wanted you to know that I had just finished reading the first aid section on the site [Vetref.com] and because I did I knew what to do and I made her throw up just like you described and I put it all in a bag and raced to the vet and she was ok. The vet did a heart monitor and there was nothing she was fine. So I wanted to say thank you the vet said what I did probably saved her life and thank you sooooo much!!!”

If it saves just one dog... it’s worth it. It has been a tough road and I hope this will inspire others to share. You can and are making a difference.
For the dog owner sharing this story, we are so sorry this happened. I’m glad your pup is going to be ok. You should be so proud of yourself that you took the steps to be responsible so you could respond in an emergency. The time you spent gaining knowledge is rewarded with what we hope will be many happy years with your dog.
This is what your VetRef is about, Mico. Not for the trolls, but for those few that you can make a difference!
Thank you Mico for sharing your knowledge with everyone! Emergencies can and do happen!
Awesome! Puppy owner- great job acting quickly, glad your furbaby is ok!
M- I’m very happy hearing you got this email. You have and are diligently working to get this info out to us for these types of occasions. It’s a thankless job most of the time but this right here makes it worth it! Thank you my friend, it is very much appreciated!
