Could it be rat poison which dogs have eaten? There are rat traps with poison round the lake, if memory serves. Though of course dogs should not be able to get at them.


Or does somebody have specific information that poison for dogs has been laid in a specific area, in which case surely that information (and how they came by it) should be passed on to the police etc ASAP??

Not like it's the OP's first post on this forum. Possibly rat poison seeing as there's a lot of chicks around at the moment. Perhaps those signs are in place to prevent such incidents not just to protect the wildlife and plantings. Shame so many people don't seem to give a toss. Really sorry for the dog that's been poisoned, hope it's not a malicious poisoner.

Seemed to me like it is a wind up designed to scare.


I thought the OP's choice of the word "clearly" in the sentence "Word is the poison's been laid in the areas clearly marked "DOGS ON SHORT LEAD"". Beware." was a bit of a give away.


Why would you use that word, unless you are raging against dog owners who you perceive to be ignoring the "clearly" marked signs?


No doubt if this is genuine we will eventually hear something from the OP - it's a bit surprising there's been nothing yet, though.

I don't know about your dog but mine is constantly sniffing and ingesting all sorts of dodgy things (including possible poison if it's been laid) even when she is on her lead.


The crucial piece if info that is missing is where the alleged poison has been laid. If it within reach of the path or other open area then dogs (and also children) will be at risk whether they are on a lead or not.

It was an expression of my scepticism about the OP's post - see my post immediately above yours.


I note there was no response from OP to that, or to any of the perfectly reasonable questions from concerned dog owners wanting to know details.

  • 1 year later...

My dog was seriously ill last night having walked her on Peckham Rye (convulsions, very high temperature). I was forced to take her to her to an emergency vet's surgery last night for treatment and she's still under medical care.


She is on the the mend very gradually. But I'm keen to try to trace what might have happened to assist her treatment. Best guess from the vet is she ingested something. Slug pellets look like the favourite. But neither I nor the pub garden we were in afterwards use them.


Has anyone experienced anything similar after walking their dog on the Rye? Not saying she did pick up something there, but it is a possibility.

I've heard from a fellow dog owner that his dog was unwell (twice), after going into the stream near the park entrance (next to the Rye). There is a part of the stream there where the water is stagnant.

Other parts of the stream are fast moving, and our dogs play there quite safely, but it's possible that the stagnant part may have had something dodgy lurking...

It may not apply to taper's dog - hope she's doing ok btw - but I thought I'd mention it...

Thanks all. Dog is stable, but still very ill. We've now got her in with a specialist neurologist. Not sure she has been poisoned anyway. Just trying to illuminate possible causes. Vets had thought it was slug pellets. Now less sure.


She had drunk from the fast flowing stream at the nunhead end of the park. But I don't think that will have been the cause.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
