POISONING
This is young Buster, just a kitten, being groomed by an adult male. 

Slug pellets are very dangerous if eaten by cats and small dogs.  A neighbour of mine hadn't read the advice/warnings on the box and had scattered slug pellets freely around his garden. Buster, and no doubt other cats, had eaten some of these pellets.

Buster was found later wandering about as if drunk - typical of the effects of slug pellet poisoning when co-ordination of movement is badly effected.

If slug pellet poisoning is left untreated paralysis and death may be the eventual, and rapid,  outcome. Buster was rushed to a 24hr vet at 1.00am in the morning for treatment and fortunately survived.

                                                                          Don't leave it too late!
