Scott - Gotta love that puppy curiosity and enthusiasm, right?
Really glad to hear it turned out well. I'll make sure there are no horse chestnut trees at our property. The girl likes to eat acorns, so I suspect she'd like them too. (Yes, acorns aren't good either. I'm the mom in that commercial who is constantly saying no.)
Bron - We used a syringe and the over-the-counter stuff. I don't recall the exact amount, but it's based on the weight of the dog. We gave her the minimum and waited to see if it was enough. It was. Took about 20 minutes. Didn't know about the barbecue starter. Good to know.
