I am so sorry you're going through this... I went through it this time last year... I didn't know if Toby had gotten into it or not... Well... I ended up at the emergency vet a total of 3 times -- and my regular vet 4 or 5 times... over 1,000 dollars later my baby is just fine! As far as looking for any signs -- you also need to check their tummys, chest and legs for any signs of bruising -- which will mean internal bleeding. That was when I knew for sure he had gotten in to it He got a really dark red spot (bruise) on his tummy. My vet had told me to watch out for any kind of bruising. We were on the vitamin pills for 3 months. Kept having to check his blood levels and everything worked out fine.
I researched and found there is a "pet friendly" rat/mice poison called
Rode-trol -- which is a corn-based product. They are supposed to eat it, go to sleep and fall into a coma and die. I know I won't ever have rat poison anywhere around...
Just keep an eye on your little ones -- and I'm sure they will be fine! Just keep us all updated on how they -- and you -- are doing!!!
