To think this is the most disgusting thing ever?

My very hairy dog sat on a previously stood on dead slug.

It was stuck in her leg fur and I had to remove it. I feel slightly sick now.

I think it was more disgusting than when she managed to get her own poo stuck in her armpit.

Putthatonyourneedles he is indeed wearing a bow tie. Him and his fur brother have matching tweed bow ties because it distracts from the utterly ridiculous facial expressions!

I am very much in love with Eric!

Opening the door to my cat with two frog back legs hanging out of the corners of her mouth. The head was down her throat and it was expanding and contracting with each croak.
Standing on a toad in the middle of the night on a French campsite. That was pleasant.

This thread isn't so bad now that we have so many pictures of Eric!

The dogs eating/rolling in human poo has reminded me that the poodle ate a wetwipe she found in the park. It had something brown on it, and I hope it was chocolate but fear it was poo. That day was made worse because the wetwipe was big and the poodle was very small so the vet had to make her vomit. Which she did. A lot. Then she had diarrhoea.

I'm never getting a dog

Worst was when I stood barefoot at about 6am in mouse innards. They stuck to my foot and i had to hop into the bathroom to wash it off in the bath.

MuteButton... you'll miss all the fun!

My cat would jump on my pillow and have a fuss. One particular day she was lying behind my head and I could hear her licking really weirdly. I turned over to see my cat desperately trying to get rid of something out of her mouth and then I realise it's my hair. I started to pull it out and she starts to heave. In her efforts to get rid of it she had swallowed my hair whilst still attached to my head; my hair was hip length at the time so she had swalled a lot of hair.

I'm going to start an official petition to get a dedicated Eric thread. He is my favourite.

PastysPrincess for some reason I find that particularly gross. It has also reminded me of the time I got dog poo in my hair.

Deadnettle I washed my hair pretty throughly after that. Some of it did actually go through her so I spent a while trying to get my hair out of her arse too. She went for a poo and it was hanging off a hair still stuck in there.

How did you get dog poo in your hair.

dudsville · 18/01/2017 21:14

Omg patsy, that made me laugh, I'm sorry! I was going to commiserate with op re slugs in dog hair but. .. well that's just not nearly so bad as some other stuff and I'm grateful this is all I've had to contend with.

My last dog, a collie, suffered from colitis so his poo wasn't as um solid as it could have been. As I was picking it up the wind blew my hair into it. I went home and had a shower!

When I first moved in with DH he came with one of MIL's dogs in a sort of buy one, get one free arangement (we moved into a place that allowed pets, DH had been living somewhere that didn't allow them). Turned out that MIL was glad to see the back of the dog as she'd got him just as her hips got really bad and simply hadn't coped with training him at all.

It wasn't the dogs fault and with patience and time we got the basics (mostly) sorted but if anything upset the dog he would crap and pee in the house.

So, one glourious morning at 5am, the dog starts fussing to go out and you just couldn't ignore him. If he was actually telling you he needed out he needed out. So I stomped, bleary eyed, in the dark, to the back door and planted my bare foot squarely in a puddle of wee. I Hopped, cursing, to the door to let him out and then to the bathroom to rinse my foot. Just as I was drying off the dog started barking outside, which wasn't going to be popular at 5am so I rushed back through the still darkened sitting room to open the back door and trod squarely on a squishy, slightly warm poo.

I shall never forget the feeling as it oozed between my toes.

PastysPrincess · 18/01/2017 21:42

Dudsville I have removed a fair few slugs from the same cat; she had a little wobbly pouch after we had her neutered and it used to just touch the floor so sometimes she'd cacoon them in her fur. They were only little ones though.

Deadnettle that does sound very unfortunate; I like to look on the bright side...at least it didn't go in your mouth. 🤢

Am a vet nurse so can probably provide a whole thread worth of yuck, I'm torn between a dog that I was restraining having explosive diarroeah and bit ending up on my nose and I was unable to wipe it off as I was holding said dog.

or

my mum's 60kg shitting in my hand while I was bathing him to remove shit stuck to his fur (he had long hair). DP was helping me and was gagging as I just took two handfuls of shit and dropped them in the toilet.

TheoriginalLEM · 18/01/2017 21:52

my mum's 60kg dog not my mum!!!!!!!

For those interested in preventing lungworm infestation, Advocate kills lumgworm and is a spot on flea treatment that also prevents lungworm and roundworm. You still need to treat for tapeworm. Milbemax is a tablet
which is used for lungworm however this only reduces the number of lungworm rather than totally getting rid of them.

Bare feet, dark corridor, dog shit (still warm). You can work out the details.

Dog is 15, accidents happen. We now never walk bare foot in the dark.

bigtapdancingpimp · 18/01/2017 22:11

My girlcat would bring in live lizards, play with them and get bored. Boycat would saunter in, eat half-dead lizard then throw up. Not pretty cleaning up cat puke when it contains eggs of a pregnant lizard Envy

joystir59 · 18/01/2017 22:17

my dogs used to eat cat poo

CigarsofthePharoahs · 18/01/2017 22:20

Can I tell you about my sisters dog?
It loved rolling in poo too. It also had an abscess that the vet thinks probably happened when the dog was spayed. It must have been slowly growing for a few years.
My sister took the dog to the vets as the dog was struggling to wee and was generally unhappy.
Vet decides to take a look at the dogs bits and promptly, but accidentally, bursts the abscess. The poor vet was hit by a big stream of puss, blood and who knows what else. In The Face.
I wouldn't be a vet for any money! Poor vet.
My own cat found a dead pigeon. She couldn't get it through the cat flap, though she gave it a good go and the head fell off. She then sat right outside our front door, stripping the feathers and trying to eat it. DH tried to get the pigeon off her and she was somewhat put out by that and made a number of attempts to retrieve it from the outside bin.

Does anyone remember the episode of Mock The Week with Hugh Dennis describing what happened when the family cat ate a ball of wool?

Bushymuffmum · 18/01/2017 22:25

My mum once had to pull a slug out of our washing machine that had gone through a hot wash - it was like she'd sneezed a massive snot ball into her hands, all stringy - bleurgh

Libby wins!!
My little tenacious ginger mutt rolled in a dead seagull and popped its nasty fishy stomach. He then joyfully trotted into the house of the lovely but not particularly pro-dog family we were staying with to share what can only be described as the rotten stench of fishy hell. Men, women and children ran screaming from the room, eyes streaming with the foul odour off the devil himself, boaking and gagging... it was horrendous! We couldn't get the pong off the dog and for a brief moment I considered leaving him in a lay by ... (only a moment!) and we then had a 5 hour drive home. Indescribable!
My handy tip to all you owners of poo-rolly dogs .... wash them in tomato juice, ketchup, passata even blinkin' tinned tomatoes if that's all you have. It's like magic and removes the pong. Then do a normal dog shampoo and back to the much improved odour of damp dog. We didn't know this until after the worst car journey of our lives - all the kids were sick!!!
You're welcome!
