Guess what my new pup ate this AM

Pups will be pups, I'm glad to hear she's OK.

I had a Jack Russell that loved to eat solo plastic cups and bowls. I discovered this when he passed the strips of plastic (still stiff) the first time. It must not have hurt coming out, he ate them every time he got hold of them.

It is disconcerting to see red plastic strips in your dogs land mines.

Many years ago a friend had a Lab that would chew on anything.Chomped a lamp cord one day.No harm,except they said that his eyes glower in the dark for a few days.After that,when he saw a cord he ran the other way.Just for the heck of it they wondered what would happen if they strung some wire around the outside of the house.Welllllllllllll,the first time they let him out
he took off at a run,saw that cord,and stopped so fast he almost had a brown ring around his neck.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I had a shepherd mix that decided that a large braided rug would make a nice snack, so he ate a hole in it about 3"x 4'! Guess what came out in almost one piece!! Poor boy was squating out there with a braided"rope" hanging there, I finally went out and stepped on it so as he squat walked it slowly came out.
Dogs, ya gotta love em.

we had a lab/chessie mix that ate so many boolits, ww's and lead ingots, I'm surprised she could swim.
I'd bet money that she ate at least 50 pounds of lead in her lifetime, best grouse and pheasant dog I ever had.
her mom was the best dove, rabbit, deer, magpie, crow, deer, and duck dog I ever had.
but she never ate any boolits.

Great Pic (# 10) Those three look smarter than most of the guys I used to work with.

[willie_pete]

Yes, they are pretty smart; except for the one in the middle, she eats boolits.

my dog needed surgery twice. Once when a pup it swallowed a bud light beer cap out of the neighbors trash and another time found a deer carcus and somehow swallowed a couple deer vertebrae about 1200 bucks a crack.

Took her to the Vet, she said it would never pass. They wanted to try to make her throw up first before they did surgery. Luckily that worked. They said she threw up in a stainless bowl and they heard a thunk. It is a 245 grain I was reloading for a Blackout. One of the techs who is a shooter came in when they did the x-Ray and said "is that a .30?

The three dogs aren't allowed in the reloading room; this one snuck in. BTW her name is Ammo ( she's my dog ). Her two brothers are named Merlot and Gallo ( my wife named those two ). She's only 5 months old, her brothers are 5 YO. I've reloaded close to 125,000 rounds in the past 5years. This is the first one anyone has eaten.

She's famous now, the Vet wanted to put the x-Ray on their Facebook page and I said OK.

Had a Lab pup, that true to his breed, would eat anything. Didn't even have to be in the food classification. One day, once he got big enough to reach the lower shelf under my loading bench, he found and ate the better part of a stick of the old black Lyman crayon type lube, box and all. Never bothered him in the least, never threw up or even got the runs. I've had labs for about 40 years and am still amazed at what they will eat.

Yes sir, had to put down my 11 year old lab this summer, on Christmas morn she ate a pair of rubber gloves, a box of condemns a box of pop corn and a jug of home made syrup. Wrapping paper And all. Found some interesting discolorations on the lawn fer a while.

Dogs eat the darndest things. Years ago one of my English Pointers, a young dog, was observed draging a long string around the yard. Upon investigation, we discovered that it had some basting tape used in sewing, a fabric strip about 3/4 inch wide that came in a roll. The dog had swallowed the tape except for the 3 or 4 feet hanging from its mouth. I pulled on the tape and the hound tucked its tail. Upon closer examination, we found that the tape was hanging from both ends. I also learned that such items move more freely from front to rear than they do rear to front. It took about an hour to remove by gently pulling from the output orfice; pulling and pulling and pulling. You can not imagine the length of that piece of tape.

Glad you caught it and the pups going to be O.K.

Just for you dog owners in case you don't know it . . . if your dog eats a "no-no" - such as chocolate, etc. - you can induce vomiting and have them expel it through dosing them with hydrogen peroxide. We've had to do it a number of times oner the years. I use a turkey baster, draw a dose up and with someone holding the dog, shoot it down their throat. On some dogs it may take a few minutes but usually it will cause them to get rid of it. This trick was taught to us many years ago by our vet.

We have a Poodle-Bichen mix who is driven by food - he'll go after anything. He got in to a box of chocolates one time that my aged mother-in-law left out and ate the whole box up. Another shepherd-elk hound mix I had literally ate a 1" X 48" nylon leash - he chewed it up into pieces several inches in length. The peroxide worked but I was laying the pieces out on the grass to make sure we got it all. Just a good trick to remember if you have a four legged child as sometimes it can be a while before you can scare up a vet - especially "after hours".

Our dogs are like kids (we never had kids) but they can certainly get into things like a two or three your old child.

Glad the dogs doing well - have a Merry Christmas!

Ya'll 'splain this.
When my lab was about 2 yrs, she ate a hole dead center in my front door, I mean dead center about 10" dia, no scratch marks, nothing.
How the does a dog with a snout eat something flat and not from the edge?
She's now 15 yrs and still hunts and acts like a pup.

Be careful. A close friend had a German Shorthair pup that ate a small rag and died of an internal blockage rather quickly.

Just got done removing a walnut from a patients stomach. It was stuck for sure. I've removed everything from a ceramic bear's head to an 8 track tape. Funny what shows up and what doesn't. The worst ones are linear, in that it may saw right through the intestine. (thread in a cat is the usual). Its also interesting to see what will pass. Once guilty, always guilty after this. Sometimes hard to find out what they've eaten, and the x-ray won't always tell if it isn't lucent. The more chewy they are, the more likely they'll do it. Much of the time, its a younger dog problem (more often) as well.

nuthin better than watching a retriever throw up half a tennis ball while sitting in a duck blind at 0600.

Ages ago, I had a large mixed breed that could not stay out of the kitchen trash can. One day she ate a 5 pound sack of flour and then barfed the whole thing all over the kitchen floor. This was after scouting the trash can and distributing it all over the floor. Loved that dog. After being bad she would slink around hanging her head and looking guilty, then take a verbal scolding and cheer right up. Next chance she would be at it again. She would jump into any water no matter how rough just to chase sticks and would do so until I would stop worried she would do so till she collapsed.

our 8lb Doxie once at 1lb.of grated cheddar cheese. Tried to get him to puke it up. No luck.
Vet said watch him to be sure he pooped it out. Took several days of Pepto to get him cleaned out and back to normal. If there had been 2lbs or more he would have eaten it. That dog loved cheese and turkey!

My ****-Zhou Poodle cross eats the darndest things. I was walking her one day and she pooped out a mottled, funny looking turd. Asa I watched it, the light tan colored pieces started to grow. I was worried so I used a poop baggie over my hand to dissect the turd. Turns out she ate a big chunk of my memory foam pillow!

When she was about 4 months old she ate nearly a whole box of pot of gold chocolates, which I negligently left n a bag hidden as they were a christmas present. We left her with our daughter who had a 3 year old boy while we went to town to get something to make her throw it up. The "children" were playing in our grandson's room when the dog started throwing it all up on her own. All over the carpet, toys and the boy! H had a full on panic attack as he thought it was blood and she was dying. For months after that every time he saw my dog he would say "don't puke on me!"

Glad the dog is OK. That is just too funny!
