I approve of this particular application of Narcan Wink

A 3-year-old Labrador named “Addie” is believed to be the first dog in the state of Maine to be revived with Narcan, after she got into her owner’s purse and ingested 25 pain pills. Leslie Reynolds, whose daughter had received a prescription for Oxycodone, said she noticed the dog acting lethargic last Thursday, and was on her way to the vet when she spotted two police cruisers, Fox 43 reported.

Reynolds flagged down the officers and explained that Addie had apparently gotten into her bag after smelling gummy worms, and ingested the pills. Sgt. Dave Chauvette, of Maine’s York County Sheriff’s Office, observed the dog and decided to administer Narcan.

“I thought for all of two or three seconds, ‘Yup, this is what we have to do,’” Chauvette told Fox 43. “Addie and I became really good friends, real quick. I held her head up, talked to her for a little white and I gave her half a dose in her right nostril. We waited a few minutes and I gave her the other half in her left nostril and it seemed to have the desired effect.”

Chauvette said Addie seemed to perk up after the Narcan.

Leslie: Hey doc, can I get some more of them oxy pills?
Doc: You just got 25 the day before yesterday. What happened to them?
Leslie: The dog ate 'em.
Doc: <crickets>

Couldn't agree more.



Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

Complacency sucks…

Yeah, better get a copy of the police report to back that one up. Big Grin

Nice job by the deputy though!

An upbeat thread? How dare you!

Awwww. A nice happy story. It's cool you're introducing happy threads with happy endings. We needed a feel good story the way this day has been going. Let's all hug now.
