i have seen it in the pharmacy, in a form of pills. it was simply called carbon. you may add para diarrea.
I gived him a lot of milk in last 2 days, i finally found a pharmacy today that wasnt closed and had injection of vitamin K
I cant find any information online where to do it and how much to give him.
Hes a goldon retriever - 8 months
He looks good still, still the same dog as usual. He puked once after i gived him a lot of milk.
Dv8 any idea for the dose ?

jeanchris, you can find dose advice here:
Vitamin K1 (Phytonadione, Mephyton) in Dogs, Cats and Other Pets
AmTech Vitamin K1 Injection for Animal Use - Drugs.com
https://ahdc.vet.cornell.edu/clinpath/modules/coags/vitkant.htm
it is important that you deliver the dose subcutaneously, lift the skin on the shoulder or butt and inject just under the skin. i would, however, check with the vet tomorrow. if you are in POP then brugal-paiewonsky, next door to ceducom, has a lab and does immediate test for poison to be able to tell you how to treat your dog.
some rat poisons act slowly.

I dont know, i have never dealed with poisoned dogs, i dont know what are the reactions - how much time it takes.
The exterminstor told me it would take 1-3 days before killing a rat. So with a dog that is 100x the size of a rat, wouldnt that take some times before theres some effect ????

You would see some reaction. Rats die from internal bleeding, then organ failure, it is prolonged but prolonged means extended period. They don't just drop down dead all of a sudden, they become I'll fast and die slow, you would know if the dog was poisoned by now, his organs would be effected and he would be at least very unwell. Certainly not normal.
wait and see the vet. it's good to have vitamin k ready, just in case. but consult with the vet first. even with slow acting poison you'd see some change in the dog.
Rat poison is a blood thinner so the rats bleed to death the K shot clots blood....give the shot..it can't hurt and you cannot
see internal bleeding, keep the dog calm, inactive so it won't get a bruise or cut...if it drinks a lot that is not good...if the
blood is thinning the stool will look green...keep the dog warm also (thin blood makes you feel cold) My best friend had a
golden that ate rat poison, it took 2 1/2 days before symptoms appeared..fortunate the vet was open and they did the
charcoal thing to make the dog throw up but it was a long recooperation....The shot is necessary and can't hurt but only help
see the vet in the morning! Good Luck...you and your dog our in our prayers...and yes, get a cat! You may not like cats but
they like rats!

Almost every time our pets are sick it is a weekend, Holiday or after 5pm!
One of our Rottie's has a bad infection that we noticed today, so off to Dr Bob we will go tomorrow! If we move again I will make sure we live NEXT to a vet, we go A LOT!!!!!
I hope your Golden is ok! My fav dog ever Rocky, was a Golden so I have a huge soft spot for them
Do you live on the NC??
This may be stupid question but is there no vet that is open weekends or 24/7 type thing in the DR? I assumed in SD there may be one?!
This is one thing I do miss about home!

You are joking, there are several vets open 7 days till 8pm here in santo domingo, several will also come out on call, for a price.
