Pocket Pry Tool - 6 month review

We bought these County Comm Pocket Widgy Pry Tools about six months ago and decided to try them out in a chest rig that carries AR15 magazines. There is a fold in the material in this Eagle Chest Rig where this County Comm Widgy Tool is kept durring use, training and in storage. This chest rig is not used every day it is used about once a month for taining drills and is kept in storage (the closet) most of the rest of the time in the dry environment of Tucson, Arizona.

Paintballs areToxic to Dogs

This was sent to us in an email:

From: Paintball Toxicosis in Dogs
By: Caroline W. Donaldson, D.V.M.

From January 1998 to January 2003, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) received 44 calls regarding paintball ingestion by dogs that subsequently developed clinical signs.
In some cases, the dogs may have ingested as many as 500 paintballs at one time. Paintball ingredients vary depending on the manufacturer...
In dogs, the most common clinical signs reported to the ASPCA APCC were vomiting (with or without paint) ataxia, diarrhea, and tremors. These signs occurred as early as one hour after ingestion.
In two cases, the dogs were euthanized because their central nervous system signs were unresponsive to treatment; no other deaths were reported.
The exact number of ingested paintballs required to cause clinical signs is unknown. In one case, a 90-lb (41-kg) Labrador retriever showed clinical signs after ingesting 15 paintballs.

If you believe that your dog is a victim of Paintball Poisoning, please refer to - or direct your veterinarian to the following website: http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/toxbrief1203.pdf?docID=1521
