I had missed a few emails from my headlight order because of the spam filter settings I had.
Glad I sorted that out and got the notification.

Note to others: Make sure "contact@gtprojectors.com" is on your safe list.

I was wondering why I hadn't received a notification......mine went into my spam box too.....with all of those offers for cheap Viagra!

Is it already Friday? that's what the wife just yelled at me with a weird face drawn up :/

I'm out of my black hole (wonderful place btw) and about done with wet polishing the top edge of your *&^)_*^%% wind deflectors loll

06:38am, haven't gone to bed yet. No s**tin

I'll update when mentally capable over the weekend. Looking good!!!

[Coaster]

I think mine went to spam too. Please let me know if I can still buy a hard as diamond replacement.

Oh, if you come to COTA in 2016, please let me know. I'd love to say hello and buy a margarita for you.

Fred,

Don't want to be a nuisance but I placed my order on the gt projector website on 5/15 and the status still shows "processing". It's ok if it really is still processing but I was getting a little concerned after 10 days that the windscreen hadn't shipped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm amped to get my hands on your little beauty.

Thanks, Larry

Fred's essentially a one man show and works huge hours. Processing means you are in the queue. I waited a long time for the headlights because Fred was slammed, and it was worth it. I also have the wind deflector and it is also worth the wait.

Thx J, mate

I'm pulling those out this week and aiming at the mail this coming weekend. 52 kits total :/ and I've had two more this weekend which hopefully should go in this lot as well.

Spent the entire evening of Sunday and yesterday at the vet with J.J on drips/vitamins (my smaller Rottweiler). Poisoned by Insecticides sprayed in the villa I live in on Friday morning (we took the walk on Friday evening). No warning/notice from the management office on the application of those (welcome to my China all).

Has constant 105F fever (72hrs), 2y/old with creatine level up to 1.3mg... very likely a kidney failure or serious complications if he ever makes it out of this toxin

Any Vets on this forum, please get in touch (I pay cash/PayPal). I am loosing it here. I have many questions that my 'locally trained' vet here can't answer. E.g. atropine treatment

So Fred is the dog at home with you or still at the vets? He should be on a constant intravenous drip to combat the dehydration he would be experiencing. Poor thing. 105 fever is very dangerous. Sorry to hear that Fred. I really Hope he's in the hands of a good vet. Keep us briefed mate hope it all works out for poor little JJ ps keep him cool cold towels to keep down the temperature mate

Hi, I would like to order one of these, but I just have one question: is everything that's needed to install this in the kit, or do I need to already have the Porsche wind deflector in place to make this work? Thanks!

You need to already have a wind deflector. You reuse your frame and of course the clips.

I am hoping I made the cut but wont hold my breath

Sorry to hear about J.J.
You have probably already scoured the internet and available info, but here is some good info on organophosphate poisining from the Merck Vetrinary Manual:

Organophosphates (Toxicity): Insecticide and Acaricide (Organic) Toxicity: Merck Veterinary Manual

Treatment is at the end of the article:

"Three categories of drugs are used to treat OP poisoning: 1) muscarinic receptor–blocking agents, 2) cholinesterase reactivators, and 3) emetics, cathartics, and adsorbents to decrease further absorption. Atropine sulfate blocks the central and peripheral muscarinic receptor–associated effects of OPs; it is administered to effect in dogs and cats, usually at a dosage of 0.2–2 mg/kg (cats at the lower end of the range), every 3–6 hr or as often as clinical signs indicate. For horses and pigs, the dosage is 0.1–0.2 mg/kg, IV, repeated every 10 min as needed; for cattle and sheep, the dosage is 0.6–1 mg/kg, one-third given IV, the remainder IM or SC, and repeated as needed. Atropinization is adequate when the pupils are dilated, salivation ceases, and the animal appears more alert. Animals initially respond well to atropine sulfate; however, the response diminishes after repeated treatments. Overtreatment with atropine should be avoided. Atropine does not alleviate the nicotinic cholinergic effects, such as muscle fasciculations and muscle paralysis, so death from massive overdoses of OPs can still occur. Including diazepam in the treatment reduced the incidence of seizures and increased survival of nonhuman primates experimentally.

An improved treatment combines atropine with the cholinesterase-reactivating oxime, 2-pyridine aldoxime methochloride (2-PAM, pralidoxime chloride). The dosage of 2-PAM is 20–50 mg/kg, given as a 5% solution IM or by slow IV (over 5–10 min), repeated at half the dose as needed. IV 2-PAM must be given very slowly to avoid musculoskeletal paralysis and respiratory arrest. Response to cholinesterase reactivators decreases with time after exposure; therefore, treatment with oximes must be instituted as soon as possible (within 24–48 hr). The rate at which the enzyme/organophosphate complex becomes unresponsive to reactivators (due to ageing phenomenon) varies with the particular pesticide.

Removal of the poison from the animal also should be attempted. If exposure was dermal, the animal should be washed with detergent and water (about room temperature) but without scrubbing and irritating the skin. Emesis should be induced if oral exposure occurred <2 hr previously; emesis is contraindicated if the animal is depressed. Oral administration of mineral oil decreases absorption of pesticide from the GI tract. Activated charcoal (1–2 g/kg as a water slurry) adsorbs OPs and helps elimination in the feces. This is particularly recommended in cattle. Continued absorption of OPs from the large amount of ingesta in the rumen has caused prolonged toxicosis in cattle. Artificial respiration or administration of oxygen may be required. Phenothiazine tranquilizers, barbiturates, and morphine are contraindicated."

So sorry to hear Fred. Don't worry about the windscreens, take care of what's important.

The same goes for me, my friend. Take care of JJ, I know how pets become family. Nothing like unconditional love from our four legged friends. My best wishes to all of your family.

Sorry to hear Fred! Hope all turns out well!

[amagalla]

Guess what I got in the mail today?!?!!?!


WooHoo!!!!

[Jamesp]

Fred,

So sorry to hear about your dog. If it can do that to a dog it seems like it could affect humans as well, be careful and stay well.

[kjc2050]

Fred, hope your dog is ok. Scary stuff!

[BFeller]

My thoughts are with you and hope things turn out well.

[Nine8Six]

(Some of you fellas are rock solid friends, thanks for the kind words)

We are all back home. And already back to work - finally. Go Go SkyBreaker!

I was reading your msg from the vet but couldn't reply until I reach my home PC today. Phone VPN doesn't like the reply form box thingy... never fully loads up on my Windows Phone. Definitely can read tho so huge thanks again

Little J.J is sleeping/recovering on his mum's favorite sofa atm (special pass) while Thor (his brother) is outside in his backyard 'alone' lolllll Lost a lot of weight poor thing, didn't had a single bite for the last 5 days other than trying to chew out the drip-butterfly thing he has tapped on his wrist (lost 6 kilos)



Few notes to log what "Rottweiler Dog Poisoning by Insecticides" does and treats. Google to pick up those, might become useful for anyone in the same situation. I've posted the same on the Rottie.net forum a few minutes ago

Test results as it went - in case you have similar on your dog.





Treatment:
5x 400ml Drips (with Ampicillin) each day / for 3 consecutive days (24hrs)
4x Fever reducers (unknown drug name)
2x Hypertension/high blood pressure control (unknown drug name)
3x Blood work, 4x urine tests, + other Test Kits to rule out common disease (distemper, Lyme, HW, parasites, etc)

4 days/evening/nights later + $1,600, the dog is at finally home since this evening and so am I. Not doing 100% good but at least we got his kidney well under control and the fever back to normal.

According to his Vet he will make it out without 'too much' permanent damage(s). Whatever that means nobody can be 100% sure without a visual (i.e surgery). So we may never find out.

Unlike myself, be a responsible pet owner if you live in a populated city. Be dbl-more-vigilant if you live in a country where conditions are less than perfect.

ps. the management office have agreed to stop using ALL Insecticides where we live. Why? My wife have carried out a pretty in-depth research and found out that the stuff they use have been banned for use China-wide more than a year ago - the mgt didn't know. The villa had stocks and were still using it The manufacturer told us the chemical loose all of its lethal capacity within one month - faster if it rains a lot.



**this should have been posted in the Off -Topic section. Apologies to all for that mistake

First and foremost So glad JJ IS going to be ok! If you were here in Australia the vet would have cost you 3 times what you paid Fred. On another note, hope you and your wife haven't been adversely affected by the banned chemicals! Also you really should see if you can get the management of your complex to pay for the vet and any other expenses you encountered. It IS THEIR FAULT remind them of that Fred it's not fair you be made to pay for THEIR "not knowing" the chemicals were banned. Hope you know a good lawyer there. Sorry but that really gets under my skin it's no excuse to say "we didn't know" people's lives are at stake here. Anyway my 2 cents. Glad JJ is good. Cute dog by the way. Did you get the dogs in China or did you bring them with you from Canada? take care
