Rat Poison - pets and other animals danger

A young hedgehog was found on Park Grove on Saturday obviously in trouble as she was out during the day. Apart from being underweight and suffering from flystrike, she had eaten rat poison and died.

if you think your cat or dog is showing symptoms , please take them to a vet as soon as possible.

When you’re putting poison down, please make sure it’s in a place other animals can’t eat it - bait boxes are safest way.
