I want to know if cyanide decomposes in the body, or if it remains 
present, and if so, for how long? I am asking because I think my dog (now 
deceased) may have been poisoned, and she is now at the vet's (frozen), 
and I want to know if they could test her for it. I really want to know 
what hapened to her. The vet didn't know. Thank you.
