Saskatoon woman says her dog died after alleged poisoning at off-leash park

“As I slammed the door, I looked and he was looking out the window and kind of shaking,” she said.

Things only got worse after they got home.

“He was shaking and shivering and arching his back. I kind of just thought he was choking right away,” she said.

From there, Goudal said she took Norman to a nearby animal hospital. She said a vet took X-rays and could find no evidence of choking. Goudal said they gave Norman an anesthetic in the hopes that the seizures would pass when he came to.

“We woke him up and sadly he was seizing just as bad or worse. So we had to make the decision…and we got him put to sleep,” she said.

Vets pumped Norman’s stomach as they were trying to find what might have been wrong with him. Goudal said she found it strange that nothing but a bit of water came up at the time.

She said that after she got home, she found dog vomit in her yard that included several large chunks of chicken. Believing it to have come from Norman, she said she took a sample to the vet, who has since sent it to a lab for tests.

“(The vet) said usually poison, if you take a lot of it, it can happen within minutes, five minutes kind of thing,” she said.

Goudal’s story has made the rounds of groups of dog park users, they’ve been passing around warnings and even put up a sign at the dog park.
