Carl, Sounds like your Dobie may be in shock. Unless you're sure it's poison - antifreeze, etc. best not to induce vomiting, and just treat for shock until you can get to the Vet. Here's some info copied from our Lab Med info (I know the Labs aren't quite as smart as Dobies but this should work anyway.) -------------------- Stop any visible signs of bleeding. If the dog is unconscious, place it on its side with the head extended. Elevate the pet's chest and hindquarters above the head by placing folded towels or a pillow under the pet's chest and body. This is to prevent fluids from entering the chest and will increase blood flow to the brain. Hot water bottles filled with warm water can be placed around the pet especially against the stomach. Do not use boiling water. Wrap the bottles up in towels to prevent burns. Wrap the pet loosely in a blanket or a jacket.
If the pet is conscious allow it to make itself comfortable. For smaller dogs encourage them to sit in a box or basket as it will make it easier to transport them. Do not give any food or water. ----------------
Hope this helps. I agree that the anonymous poster has to be some kind of creep. People who farm usually have a lot of appreciation for animals - especially the dogs, as they're part of the family. good luck.... Steve
