Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you believe that Kiki may have been poisoned by something, I highly recommend calling a Pet Poison hotline such as (855) 764- 7661. This way you can report exactly what you think your pet got into, how much, how heavy your dog is, etc., and determine what the consequences of this are. I hope this is helpful!
