Roscoe P Coletrain ate a poison plant yesterday and collapsed, lost control of his bowel and vomiting could not stand, unresponsive. Got him the emergency vet, they knew right away what had happened evidently this happens a lot in Florida and they have a antidote. Last night the doctor said it was 50/50 but he is a little better this morning. So if you live in Florida I think it is the SAGO PALM, get rid of it! http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/sago-palm/ http://www.dogingtonpost.com/the-sago-palm-beautiful-and-deadly-to-your-dog/

So sorry to hear that man. Bulls are the best dogs, love mine so much. He looks sweet and handsome. Our cat Nemo ate a poisonous palm and we lost him, the vet didn't know what was wrong with him till it was too late. Good luck, we'll be thinking of him.

Molly, Roscoe's partner followed my son as he struggled to get what appeared to be the life less body of his 80lb Ross in the car, she tried to get in, she has not left his kennel since Saturday night. The vet said tomorrow will tell the tail. I am thinking he is going to be fine with all your wish's, THANKS you guys!

it's not looking good, his liver numbers will not stabilize, this morning his feet swelled up then went back down, something the vet has not seen before.......he has lost control of his bowel, don't know if that is temporary or not.

Sounds like he's fighting it though. I'm still hoping for good news.

He's home, not 100% (yet). My son is a dog trainer and he uses Ross to teach other dogs (and people)that these dogs are not what people think they are. He should be back at work in 8 or 9 days. A huge thank you to all you guys. That dog means the world to my son and it really hurt to hear a 27 year old man cry. BUT IT'S ALL GOOD....THANKS AGAIN and watch them damn palm trees.
