What to do if you suspect your animals have been poisoned

Symptoms of two-step poisoning include weakness, headaches, vomiting and eventually death, if untreated.

Temik (two-step) is the common poison used to kill dogs and other animals.

What is Temik:

Temik is often sold illegally, as you need a permit to purchase and sell it.

How do I know if my pet has been poisoned:

Symptoms of two-step poisoning include weakness, headaches, vomiting and eventually death, if untreated. Temik takes approximately an hour to show symptoms. Once the symptoms are displayed, pet owners have mere minutes to find help.

If you suspect your pet has been poisoned, adhere to the following procedures:

– All animal poisonings should be reported to the SPCA, for record-keeping and to compile a report for higher departments.

-To determine if it was indeed Temik is to have an autopsy done at a veterinarian.

– Thereafter, you should file an official report at the Newcastle police station, in order for them to try and find the culprits.

Legal action can and will be be taken against people if they are caught with Temik and they do not have the proper licences.
