They went to play at the beach and within 48 hours his dog was gone. Now Christ Taylor wants to warn dog owners about the dangers of salt water. Chris Taylor brought his 7-year-old Labrador retriever named O.G. to the beach near Tampa, Florida, but just hours after they left the beach, O.G. came down with severe stomach problems.
The next day, he was lethargic and became increasingly disoriented. “He started to not acknowledge who I was,” said Taylor. “He just walked into the corner and stared blankly.” Shortly after Taylor was rushing his dog to the vet and faced a situation no dog lover wants ever to happen.
During his hours playing in the ocean, O.G. had drunk too much salt water and it had elevated the sodium in his body to dangerous levels. His brain had swelled and he was having seizures and he had to be humanely put to sleep.
Devastated, Taylor is speaking out to help prevent other dogs from getting salt water poisoning. Taylor has given a number of TV interviews to share his warning, but what should you look out for?
