Seriously though, PM if you have any questions.

Definitely scary... seems like a massive laxative... hope she's ok.... the things dogs find to be eddile! SMH

Seriously though, PM if you have any questions.

Might as well do it publicly, so the entire PCF community can benefit.

Any serious health concerns, or do I just expect things to be messy for a couple days?

 

[k9dr]

You should expect diarrhea - lots of oily loose stool - but typically no other major problems unless she vomits and aspirates. Make sure to provide plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration.

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your professional opinion.

Labs! I’ve had three. Amazing what they will eat. Hope things go well.

She loves—and I mean LOVES—plastic bottles of all sorts. She’ll grab the soap bottle off the counter before she steals meat or other food. It’s weird.

My buddy had one of those little deep fryers we were using in his kitchen one Super Bowl, we fried damn near everything in the house that day, then when we were done he set it in his garage and we didn’t clean the fat out of the fryer.

His dog found it the next day after it was all cooled and turned into a tub of flavored butter looking stuff and ate every bit of the oil out of it. Licked it clean.

Poor dog, I felt so bad for him the next day. You could see in his eyes how bad his stomach was feeling. Lol

I feel sick just reading that.

My parents dog once drank a load of water from their saltwater pool. Moments later I heard a fart and witnessed an explosion much like in the gif above.

It was pretty funny

As veterinarians we can purchase mineral oil in gallon jugs because we can use it as a laxative in horses. The only danger with dogs is aspiration into the lungs because it doesn’t have any taste. And of course diarrhea.

 

[Highli99]

Ugh good luck Andrew. What a mess! Hope your pup feels better soon. Don’t forget to hold her ears back and comfort her if she vomits. And try not to preach too hard until her hangover wears off.

 

[Beakertwang]

She's not listless or anything. She seems in really good spirits, but she has had some...

This is from back in the spring. Lucy loves Jack. Jack tolerates Lucy.

Indiscriminate Omnivores...I've seen my lab eat dirt!

 

[aaronroch]

Met a lab once who went to the vet b/c he had developed a rattle when he walked. Yeah, the dog, not the car.
He got walked on a golf course every day. Vet found 23 (!) golf balls in his stomach. Sounds improbable, but the owner swore it was true.

It is amazing what my Cesky Terrier has eaten and been okay. Surprising things the vet said not to worry about: Bottle caps
Poison ivy
A sub literally the same volume as the dog
Most of a light bulb (not the base)
Soap

Surprising thing the vet worried about:
2 pieces of gum with xylitol.
This provoked the only crash-emergency response from my vet I’ve ever seen. They made her puke and then sorted through the puke until they could find all of both pieces. Xylitol=Bad.

Poor girl ... hope she’s better soon!

 

[gopherblue]

On the plus side: she’ll be down to her bikini weight in no time.

Hey, glass half full....

 

[Beakertwang]

Lucy’s doing fine today. Her rear end has been oily, but nothing got as bad as I feared, and she never really even seemed like she wasn’t feeling well. Thanks to everyone for the advice, and your concern.

My old dog Scarlet was famous for just chewing on shit but not swallowing them. One day she ate a pack of cigarettes. Bottle caps. A chocolate bar. One time I found a nail in her mouth and she was chewing it like a blood flavored bubble gum. She was just impervious to pain and always hungry. She would walk thru glass to eat a hamburger and never regret a moment.

That dumb beautiful dog.

And I promise. I'm a good owner. She was just very unique.
