Well when that happened to my dog, she had gotten a hold of one of my softballs and chewed the leather off the ball and swallowed it.

She pooped it out though.

a Cadbury Bunny

thats fucked up. someone should shove a turd down your throat.

1/27/2009 11:38:12 AM

^ wut?

1/27/2009 11:42:51 AM

Thank God my dog doesn't eat random shit

1/27/2009 11:47:09 AM

Newsflash! Your dog DOES eat random shit. S/He is apparently slick enough to not let you notice.

1/27/2009 11:48:58 AM

Actually... you would be surprised at how good he is

What? That's my fucking guess and it's a good one. You shitty guess sounds like a poor attempt of humor because there's no way a dog that big is going to get sick from eating a Cadbury Bunny(read: one chocolate bunny). I don't see the humor in the dog getting sick and having to spend money at the vet.

1/27/2009 11:54:29 AM

my dog eats condoms whenever she can find them

1/27/2009 12:02:26 PM

Time to put Ol' Yeller down, Timmy.

1/27/2009 12:13:27 PM

has the dog been eating grass? (more than usual?)

any usual foods that you guys eat? that the dog got into?

my initial guess is mushrooms outback, or grass with weedkiller or something on it.

1/27/2009 12:15:36 PM

Hints:

Never eaten human food, so that's out.
We do not leave stuff out, we have a very sparsely decorated house full of baby gates.
Nothing in the house is missing and he does not chew furniture.

Oh, and I sure as hell don't know what it was yet either!

1/27/2009 12:18:58 PM

P.S. He is not a poop eater, and I can say this with confidence. Nor does he frequent any outdoor dog parks.

1/27/2009 12:19:48 PM

He only frequents the finest, indoor dog parks.

1/27/2009 12:41:39 PM

do you let him drink from the toilet?

he might have picked up a bug in a puddle outside drinking it too...

1/27/2009 1:16:22 PM

a chinchilla

when i was a kid, my cat jumped on the counter and ate through the aluminum foil covering the turkey after thanksgiving.

we didnt realize he actually ate the tinfoil. a few days later he was shitting blood and his rectum prolapsed out his anus.

we had to put the cat down

1/27/2009 1:20:16 PM

fucking chinchillas

LOL

1/27/2009 1:21:23 PM

Hobie?

1/27/2009 1:22:15 PM

^^^ There's a heartwarming Thanksgiving feel-good story for ya.

1/27/2009 1:37:26 PM

my sister's great dane systematically ate the roof off of its dog house; it would randomly throw up bits of plywood from time to time

"Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2, colloquioally parvo) is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs. The disease is highly infectious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. It has two distinct presentations, a cardiac and intestinal form. The common signs of the intestinal form are severe vomiting and severe haemmorhagic (bloody) diarrhea. "

Was it bloody diarrhea or regular?

1/27/2009 1:46:14 PM

DAMMIT I'M EATING BAKED ZITI HERE

1/27/2009 1:47:36 PM

more like baked diarrhea, amirite?

1/27/2009 1:50:02 PM

my roommates had a dog that went to the vet with symptoms like that, they thought he ate some mushrooms from the neighbors back yard...

1/27/2009 1:51:37 PM

chocolate

1/27/2009 2:05:25 PM

No he does not have parvo. He's a bit old and big for that and has already been fully vaccinated. The vet couldn't get a fecal either, naturally. We're running with it being a bug of some sort. He does like drinking out of puddles and eating leaves.

And yes, he does only frequent the finest indoor dog parks.

1/27/2009 2:30:21 PM

my dog made this easy for me the other day


he walked in my room and threw up two whole raw porkchops

luckily i was thawing 6 so it worked out and he was probably angry at the spiciness

1/27/2009 2:31:29 PM

mine did this once when she swallowed a stick that got stuck

1/27/2009 2:33:28 PM

My dog NEVER throws up stuff. She likes to shit it out for some reason.

Her latest conquest was my hot pink thong. She pooped it out and couldn't get it all out so I had to help her. That was so disgusting and so funny at the same time. She was running around with my thong hanging out her ass

I stopped at the bank on the way home and he threw up in the back of my car, the teller was freaked out.

1/27/2009 2:49:49 PM

it's cool, i just threw up at my desk reading db19's post and freaked out my coworkers

so did you just wash it and good as new?

1/27/2009 5:45:13 PM

god I hate that shit

fuck dogs

1/27/2009 5:46:58 PM

the funniest was when my parent's miniature dachshund ate some pantyhose, he couldn't get it all out, so i stood on the end of it, he started running off, dragging his ass, and got slingshotted back before it came out

1/27/2009 6:44:24 PM

Okay now I'm actually freaked out over this. Fed him lunch with his new meds and he kept it down for three hours and then stupid me took him for a walk. He threw it ALL up. Called the vet and she said the meds probably got absorbed and to keep an eye on him, etc. But now he won't eat his dinner, which is VERY bad for him. He's already lost 2 lbs. If he isn't better tomorrow we have an appointment for x-rays.

1/27/2009 7:10:30 PM

it wasn't bloody diarrhea was it? what meds is he on?

1/27/2009 7:12:26 PM

No, nothing is bloody, if it had been he'd be at the ER right now. He's on a de-wormer just in case and metronidazole.

And apparently side effects of that are drooling, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which he has now, so that's just dandy.

ask your vet to give a cerenia injection, or to give you the pills (but since he's been vomiting, i'd suggest the injection). that stuff works wonders.

did you do any bloodwork to rule out any internal issues?
