70 pound black lab may have eaten some rat poison pellets

I'm really not sure at this point if he actually ate any or not and I'm not sure how he got a hold of them but he absolutely found some somewhere cause he chewed at least one 43 g box to pieces and maybe two of D-con pellets
He weighs about 70 pounds so I'm imagining it would take a decent amount to be toxic though looking around online hasn't been real helpful for a dog of his size
We have a call into the vet emergency line to see what they say but was just gonna see what the OB thought of the situation
SO is out getting some vitamin K1 right now to give him and he seems fine so far and ingestion should've occurred around 3-4 hours ago though from what I've read it's a fairly slow acting poison on bigger dogs
TIA

Your dog food should have vitamin k in it. Just feed him dog food.

Get him to the emergency room asap. I had a German Shepard die from that when I was a kid. GOOD LUCK!!

If you're ever having trouble getting your dog to drink hydrogen peroxide, mix in a tablespoon of sugar and he'll lap up every last drop. Works like a charm on my Boykin and labkin.

There's a pretty good chance you got a bit of it out. The vitamin K is a good idea - make sure to give as long as your vet recommends
About once or twice a day just check his gums and eyelids to make sure they're nice and pink. If you see them become pale or develop any red splotches (petechia) in these areas call vet asap.
Also watch his urine and feces to make sure he isn't passing blood in them. The urine will look rust colored. The feces will be very black in color. Sudden onset lethargy, coughing, exercise intolerance also to watch out for. All of these are a problem

bring him to the vet. This happened to my roomies dog once. My dog went to the vet as well because we didn't know which dog ate it. The type of poison that the dog ate messes with the brain. He was a dummy before but now he can't run in a straight line. He side tracks lol
