Title: oh no blue-kote Post by: britters on July 17, 2008, 03:46:26 PM I have a girl that has bubmle foot and i was putting it on her with a qtip and put the qtip down and my boy Ludo runs away with it. Now his tongue is purple.
Is it harmful for him to have it in his mouth? I'm really worried that he'll get sick. What should i do? Title: Re: oh no blue-kote Post by: BaconWaffles on July 17, 2008, 04:12:09 PM im not sure if its harmful, id call a vet to be sure.

I did a quick Google search for Blu-Kote toxicity but it didn't turn up anything major. I'd keep and eye on him and call your vet tomorrow morning just to check.

The vet said he'd be ok. Title: Re: oh no blue-kote Post by: Nokithis on July 18, 2008, 11:08:10 AM i'm glad ludo's ok! you know, for those times that they get into stuff, you might consider calling poison control. yep, poison control. i've called them when my dog ate ant bait, when my horse decided that fly strips looked yummy. they've always been helpful and they have msds on almost everything.
Title: Re: oh no blue-kote Post by: britters on July 18, 2008, 03:32:06 PM huh...i would have never thought to call poison control. I'll keep that in mind, just incase they decide to be very very bad ratties.
