Default Meg is home Safe and Sound

Meg is home now, and recovered completely. When we had time to examine the planter with the snail/slug killer, we realized she had actually lapped up the standing water in the base of the plant stand (one of those trays on wheels). It of course, contained tainted water. The vet explained, had Meg eaten as much as a tablespoon of the pellets, it would have been deadly. It made more sense that she had ingested the liquid - all planters duly washed thoroughly, and plants outside where Meg has no access. Thank you for your kind comments.
