Lynette, I'm so glad your dog is ok! How awful. The same thing happened to one of my Boston Terriers years ago. We were in an apartment and they had just sprayed the grass with fertilizer. I let him out to go potty, and within 15 min. of him coming back inside he was having a major seizure. We had to rush him to the emergency vet; he ended up being ok, but that's when it really hit me how awful that stuff is. Thanks to the both of you for writing in~ David,

Last summer, we were taking our basset hound on a walk on my parents farm (this is when the midwest was flooding.) He slurped up some ditch water, and within 30 minutes, he was having a severe reaction to the organophosphates that were used on the fields as fertilizer. Luckily, he was much better after getting a shot from the vet, but it could caused permanent nerve damage if not treated. It really made my parents evaluate what could be in their well water. Oh, and we love our push mower as well! No kidding on the organophosphates. Last summer, we were taking our basset hound on a walk on my parents farm (this is when the midwest was flooding.)
