Gavin Foley Webboard User Reg: 01-03-2006 Posts: 39 Loc: Dublin, Ireland Offline	My 1 year old cairn terrier has drank bleach. She is what i can only describe as crying non stop. Im at my wits end. Is there anything i can give her to help her. I cant for the life of me find an on call vet. Those i called wont answer. I dont think she drank alot. In fact i think she only licked the bottle but she is whining and crying like crazy. Please can anyone help me im going out of my mind with worry. If you dont know me, dont judge me.

I would probably rinse the mouth and gums with a squirt bottle and I would probably force the water/milk if she isn't taking it herself in good quantities. Good luck!

Gavin Foley Webboard User Reg: 01-03-2006 Posts: 39 Loc: Dublin, Ireland Offline	Thank you for your help. Ill keep you posted. This is my first dog and to be honest i didnt think i would warm to her as much as i have. But she means the world to me. When you have had a bad day and you walk in to find her there just cheers me up no end. If you dont know me, dont judge me.
