The vet that helped in my situation just did the subq fluids, not IV, it’s easy and not expensive….she said take her home and see if it helps. So, I never did any additional testing at that time. The subq fluids not only hydrates the dog and relieves the nausea but it also flushes out the toxins.
I was amazed at the effect……have it done in the morning and if she is not better by the afternoon, go along with the blood work. It won’t show poisoning anyway, that would be a specific test. It will show her kidney function and liver function tests, if she is sick they will be a little off anyway.
Here is what it looks like, but of course have the vet do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxAAyISHRk8
If your vet advises differently, ignore me.
