The lady at poison control said that a cat that weighs 11 pounds would have to eat close to a dozen poisoned mice to be affected. However some of the information I read on the internet defers from that... We are leaving for the vet now.. I picked apart the eaten mouse. We didn't find any blue in the stomach.

We are waiting. I am worried sick. I learned a lot about vitamin k1 today. I am really hoping that since I have fed him a great diet and religiously supplemented with miner-all and vitamins 2 times a week that his system will have a natural fighting chance against the poison. Here's our pic my wife took last weekend..

It really depends what they were poisoned with. I know a lady, (2 ladies actually) whose 75lb labrador retriever died from eating a poisoned mouse. It happens more often than you think, people put out poison, but then the critters often go out and poison the animals that eat it. It's sad. I sure hope your sully will be ok.
