I know of a dog lost to 1080 18 months after a rabbit poison. Was dry Marlborough country. The owner never saw the dog touch anything but all the symptoms was 1080 before it was put down.
Hunted some country last winter that was poisoned 12 months previously, saw mummified rabbit carcasses and got myself and the dog out of there quickly.
