If you're really worried, you can mix up a peroxide solution to induce vomiting (look up the ratios online). Put it in a squirt bottle and blast it down their throats.

I'll be honest though, if it were me I'd just ride it out. I've seen a dog drink motor oil and live (farm dogs are indestructible). Mine have eaten socks, entire plates of cupcakes, chicken carcasses, chipmunks, etc...; mostly they just fire vile smelling things out of them for the next 3 days and come out good as new.

And then eat more stupid things.

I honestly think if I put an unlimited amount of steaks on the ground, my dog would never stop eating until it fell over dead.

Sucked even more by her telling us "just try to keep her off it; see if it'll heal on it's own".

lol.
although the alternative was to have surgery to repair it.
Year later, my lab runs around and plays like nothing ever happened.

Sometimes they're just being big pussies.

Mine used to pick up a limp all the time, generally every 6 weeks, when he was a puppy. We'd take him to the vet, they'd give us some deramax and we'd kennel rest him for a week. It got to be routine enough that we just asked for a bunch of pills to give him and avoid the vet visit.

After about 9 months of that, we stopped giving him the deramax, put him in his kennel for about 48 hours (walked him on leash only) and let it 'disappear'. Well after about 3 months of that he either toughened up or his joints miraculously became stronger because he hasn't picked up that limp in 6 years now.

Granted, yours may have actually been injured, but it never ceases to amaze me what a dog will do for attention if it's even a little bit neurotic.

Too late for that, probably.

My friend was like, do you think they learned their lesson? Yeah...NO!
Im going to ride it out. feed thm a little bit of brown rice and a green bean before I left for work. Ill see them again at 3. i think he will be fine. He's doing much better this morning.

As an aside, I like to dress my dog up as Yoda at Halloween. He usually isn't too thrilled about that. I think he is even less thrilled when the girls dress him up as a cheerleader.

Dog lived forever.


They should be fine; dogs are pretty resilient. HOpe everything works out ok.

My question is why are those things together, out in the open, on more than 1 occasion?

two seperate occcasions. Like, on one occasion, he ate teh pie tin. The somewhere down the line he ate the preperation H.

lol...I could see how combined, it would lead to a lot of questions about the owner.

Try to find white rice, if possible. I know it's not 'healthy', but it's been my experience that the 'bran' on brown rice can cause some irritation. The green beans may also be a bit of a non-starter as dogs don't really digest them (it's why you see people feed dogs green beans when they're trying to drop their weight, it's a filler that just passes right through them). Bland is better with that sort of thing. When our guys are not feeling well, we drop a tagamet in their food to reduce the stomach acid then just go with white-rice and diced chicken breast.

If you've had results your way in the past, stick with it, that's just how I do it and why.

Weiner dogs generally have puffy, pouchey little tummys. Carlota, just apply direct-pressure and squeeze her poo out.

Thanks man. I do feed them green beans for weight loss. Dexter needed to drop a few becasue of his back and knee. But yeah, for now, it may not be the best thing. Ill grab some white rice on my way home. They absolutley love frozen veggies and thats good becasue for awhile thats all they are going to get for treats. No more dentastyx and Freshies for them--not for a long while....
