So, I'm sitting at breakfast, and my kid fumbles his ADD medication and it hits the floor, and before anyone can move Stupid has eaten it. Not that he had far to go. He sits like a barracuda under the kid's seats and waits for anything to fall.

I check the internet, and the stuff is toxic to dogs, and he's about 16lbs, so no question it's a fatal dose. My morning was spent rushing him to the vet. Since he was there in 15 minutes they induced vomiting, will monitor him throughout the day, and say he should be fine.

This is a very shitty way to start my day.

Glad he is ok. We had a scare recently when our dog ate a corn cob. Buy and keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide handy at all times. Squirt the recommended dose (find it on the internet) down his throat to induce vomiting. It doesn't always work, but could save you a few hundred in vet bills. It takes about 45-60 min for ingested food to leave the stomach and enter the gut.
 
Good response time, nest wishes going forward. (y)

Had to laugh at "barracuda" under the table..... my Lab's response time can be measured in milliseconds.
 
My idiots will get into things in the "yard" -6 fenced acres of woods. They will then wake me at midnight to let them out to eat what grass they can find, I have no lawn. They are fine the next day.

In the future, try squirting hydrogen peroxide down their throat. My dog ate a hand warmer and that was able to induce vommiting.
 
What a shitty why to start the day! Glad he’s going to be OK! Was pulling your leg on the meds. Dam!

I’m guessing Fig wasn’t in charge of the dog name.
Actually, I did name him. I was pissed about how far we had to drive, and how much he cost, and a lot of things on the way home, and wanted to give a sissy dog a sissy name. I suggested it more out of contempt than anything else, and they liked it and it stuck.

He has no skills and is dumb as a box of rocks, but you can't help but love him. Latte fits perfectly.

ex wife brought a dog home once. told her if she wanted to keep it, i got to pick the name. she agreed, with the standard rule we had....she was allowed 2 vetos. first name was lugnut. she vetoed that shit instantly. so my brother and i conferred, then we came out of it with the name “oatmeal”. she wanted to veto it, but was terrified of what name #3 would have been. so “oatmeal” it was.

for the record, “cornhole” was #3.

and as far as dogs swallowing stuff......like 2 others stated, a shot of hydrogen peroxide down the throat is the the vet does. get you a small syringe and some hydrogen peroxide in case there is another incident. it’s going to be a lot cheaper than a morning off work and an emergency run to the vet.

Gave my dog pork rib once thinking he would just naw the meat off of it..... Well he decided to swallow the damn thing whole.....I was scared he might not be able to pass it. Took him to the vet and she told me he might pass it on his own or they could do surgery to remove it then she told me how much the surgery would be to remove it and then asked me if I was a gambling man........I love my dog, but me and ole Bobo had to roll the dice that day..... Thank God he passed it on his own saved me about 5K!
 
My Lady is asking, (seriously) is anyone here a Vet to confirm/back up the Hydrogen Peroxide thing? Sounds great and all, and home-remedies such as these are right up our alley. Especially considering we couldn't afford to do the surgery thing at all, but.....

But her FUR-Baby......

(no, it's not spoiled. It has it's own Lay-Z-Boy and it's own bunk-bed)
 
Last week my 17lb shih tzu ate an entire green rat bait poison. We didn't want to spend the 2k at a vet on the weekend so we found that peroxide is used to induce vomiting in dogs. Did the correct mix, watch her throw it all up, and its been a week and shes 100% fine and we save thousands!

Wish you pup and family the best.

Had a dog destroy 5lbs of raw chicken in an instant. Peroxide worked great. That was an interesting day.

Best to do it outside also. It doesn't take long, 20-30 seconds if I remember correctly, for them to stat to blow.
Our Schnauzer got into a large amount of chocolate, 1 or 2 tablespoons (look it up by weight) of peroxide and it was all over the garage.

Hand on snout, tilted head strait up, pour. They don't like it. LOL

I had a frenchy. (He lived to 14) his name was rocky balbully. On Christmas Eve I was sleeping over at my parents house and their lab knocked a whole tray of fudge off the counter and I had to rush them both to the emergency vet same shit 1200$ Christmas morning..... he was dumb too and a little shit. But man he was a chick magnet and I’ll admit I loved the fuck out of him. Still have a painting of him in the hallway.
 
My 2 pugs managed to somehow knock and entire box of croissants from Costco off the fridge one night. We're talking one of those cases with like 18 big ass croissants in it.

Didn't think twice until I woke up and was like WTF, why is this box on the floor? Why is it empty?

Then it hit me as I looked at my little girl pug and you could see the sides of her stomach from the front.

Off to the vet, but was told that neither of them look blocked and to watch for diarrhea; which, when it started, didn't end for an entire day.

Once upon a time, quite a few years before I was born, my grandparents had a dog (a Cairn terrier, I think) named Duffy. Who, like many dogs, was kinda a dumbass, and a greedy one to boot.

My grandparents were out of the house for the day and when they came home, Duffy was on his back in the middle of the kitchen table with an empty bag next to him and a couple pounds of candy corn in his stomach. They tried getting him to walk it off a bit, but after all that candy, Duffy was thirsty... and there was several-day-old rainwater in the gutter. Which he drank. And after sloshing around a bit, threw up. He was fine afterward but he did learn his lesson about eating candy corn that day.

Sit down and let me tell you a story of ding-dong here. Cute and fluffy, but about as bright as that pretty white crayon in a box. Really about as useful, too.
Fantastic at stressing me out.
So, one day, while scooping the almighty poop box, I find a red worm looking thing in poop sitting on top (ding dong doesn't always cover his poop, either..). Imagine my holy terror trying to figure out where in the heck they got worms, because they are strictly indoor cats. Now, we had relatively recently adopted another kitten, so it was not out of the realm of possibilities that something was shared and just now showing signs. Then, I find a puke pile here and there with more of the red worm monsters. I panic and call the vet. With numbnuts here not showing any signs of distress, she is on her way out the next day. We watch him. Fine. I plan for $$$ down the drain because stray kitten brought a parasite into the house and now all three furbabies need to have worm treatment.
Fast forward a few hours. I am downstairs in the basement going through the ever-messy craft area (don't start). I hear this really weird sound. I look over. dumb-dumb here is all wide-eyed chewing on some cheap ass Dollar Tree grass skirt that fell over from who knows where. ... Guess what is the same size and shape of the "worm monster" in the poop and puke. ... I could have killed him. Dumb dumb refuses to eat high quality food but eats tinsel and shit. The red was from it cutting his throat and stomach.... :mad: Now, ask me if he learned his lesson from that. Do not expect an answer.

Can't live with them, can't live without them.
