The key to uncover the truth is this pet dog named Dahuang. Rhubarb is a stray dog adopted by Ms. Wang. On October 24th, Rhubarb played in front of Ms. Wang’s shop as usual.
Ms. Wang, a Dalian citizen:At that time, I was working in the house, and the dog took the medicine there. At that time, the neighbor found it and said that the chicken liver was wrapped in yellow pills.
The experience of rhubarb quickly spread among pets, and everyone quickly rushed to the scene to find clues. Finally, they found a surveillance camera of a lottery station on the side of the road, and this camera just recorded the whole process.
Ms. Li, a citizen of Dalian:Now the suspect appears, with a cigarette in his left hand and something in his right hand. You see, he threw something in this position, and then he turned to see if the dog would eat it. He specially waited for the rhubarb to eat what he threw, and he stayed here for 15 seconds to wait for the rhubarb to eat it.
The owner of the lottery shop next to him found that what Rhubarb ate was very suspicious. In association with the recent pet dog poisoning incidents, the lottery shop owner took out what Rhubarb had in his mouth. Two hours later, rhubarb showed symptoms of shortness of breath. This shows that there is something wrong with the yellow tablets taken by rhubarb.
Veterinarian Zhao Yingzhi:Through these cases, our experience in treatment and some information we checked, we suspect that it is an anti-tuberculosis drug.
Reporter:Is this medicine for people or dogs?
Veterinarians:For human use, anti-tuberculosis drugs, because there is no enzyme to resist this drug in dogs, so as long as they eat a little, they will be poisoned.
Fortunately, rhubarb didn’t eat much, but it finally survived after emergency rescue. The experience of rhubarb and the surveillance video confirmed the suspicion of pet dog owners for the first time. It is true that some people deliberately poisoned and killed dogs, and the poisons were carefully selected.
Veterinarian Zhao Yingzhi:There is no specific medicine, and it is recorded in the data that vitamin B6 is injected in large quantities, but the clinical effect is not particularly obvious through us.
The reporter learned that on August 8 this year, there was an article on the Internet that introduced the use of this drug to kill cats and dogs. Although this article was later reported and deleted by animal protection groups, the methods introduced in the article still spread. What is more serious is that this medicine is not only harmful to pets, but also a threat to people, especially children.
Veterinarian Zhao Yingzhi:Adults may not have a big problem, but if they are children, they will definitely have problems. Because children are small in weight, taking one tablet of this medicine may cause problems. This medicine should be a prescription drug.
At present, the police in Dalian have accepted the reports of pet dog owners. It is understood that the police have merged several poisoning cases and the case is currently under investigation.
