This bloody dog will kill me one day

Please send solidarity if you also have a ridiculous dog who eats litter

I've had the 24 hours from hell.
Dog woke up panting which is not normal for her and husband had the car so I had to get a train to get the dog to the vet but chemo brain struck and I got off too early so had to wait for a bus for 45 mins
. Vet
said potentially heart failure and the test would be ~5k and we couldn't use insurance 1st. So he gave her an injection to take her pain away, then we got home and she puked everywhere. My mum is a Vicar in a rural community and the vets are fantastic as they're mostly farm vets so l booked an appointment to see them. Except DH had the car so my poor mum had to drive from Mold to the Peak District and back again for my dog to see a vet They thought pancreatitis as her heart was fine (cheers Steve took bloods and said bring her back if she's sick again but she had a raging temp and had some injected abx and anti emetics, I managed to get her to eat a tiny amount last night and she had a 1/4 paracetamol but this morning she was panting again..
so we went back and the vet thought 100% pancreatitis and admitted her for fluids, more antibiotics as her temp had gone up again and iv paracetamol, then she decided to xray just off the cuff and as they were x raying her the lab rang and said bloods -ve for pancreatitis and they saw something really weird in her stomach. I never want to experience the last 24 hours again!!

So she's staying in until tomorrow night because she has stitches in her actual stomach, the bill is way more than we expected. But it's worth it. £3000 for a plastic takeaway container of madras to be removed from my dogs stomach.

here is a photo of my stupid dog. She’s so lucky.

Our previous labrador used to grab any old dead roadkill (rural lanes) and once gulped down a whole pheasant wing. That cost us an overnight stay and surgery at the vets.

My friend's cocker spaniel (highly trained gun dog) once ate the shredded cellophane filling from a Body Shop gift basket. That cost 3k.

Current lurcher isn't too bad outside, but will tiptoe into the kitchen, avoiding the creaky bits of floor, to steal anything left on worktops. A whole defrosting chicken and a massive bowl of yeasty pizza dough for 6 guests were the worst.

I always knew when my dog had eaten something iffy as she'd fart when she was asleep ~ the noise always startled her , she'd wake up and run round and round looking for where it came from. At least she didn't need a vet !

I've remembered another - years ago, one of mine ate a dishcloth, the type thats knitted and white with red stripes...

I only knew about this when he was shitting dishcloth, which had unravelled I assume as he chewed it... he crapped yarn for a day and a half (quite happily, no fuss or ill health symptoms at all). It was bizarre and gross.

Same dog ate a box of coloured pencils once, and shit tinted poo for a few days -also the inside wrapper of a pepperami and the poo came out pre-wrapped!

He lived to 17 despite my then inept dog control/training!

My childhood Labrador ate the following:

• knocked a glass Pyrex dish of uncooked lasagna ready for the oven of the bench, are the full lasagna and bits of smashed glass
• a full toblerone including box
• most of a tub of quality street that was in a dish on the table over Christmas she had twinkly poo for a week
• one of the giant Millie's birthday cookies
• the wall

I have no idea how she survived till 16 but she was the loveliest dog

@WiddlinDiddlin
I'm laughing to myself at the thought you getting the cob out of ones dog and then the other eating it and then the same again 🤣🤣

My spaniel is picking everything up but SOMEHOW the most dangerous things (up to now) I manage to get out...
He loves cat shit and munching on the litter.

My mum's cat used to throw potatoes off the shelf for him to run around with 😵‍💫

One of our Spaniels is so greedy he’s like a hoover. He has literally eaten allsorts, mainly when on the Country Park or beach. Banana skins, rubber, pieces of plastic etc etc. Several vet trips and a couple of stays too. Once he actually appeared stoned!! Latest was “ something with a very high fat content” according to the vet.
He is muzzled now so we have to keep saying
“ he’s not aggressive just greedy” He’s so quick so if my DH removes the muzzle for him to play ball he will snaffle something.

Our younger Spaniel isn’t as motivated by food and would rather chase a ball, play or socialise. She gets so over excited on the way to her walk that she has been systematically destroying the boot of the car.
As he was changing cars, DH tried her with a soft muzzle just for the short journey. She got it off immediately so he put it back on. When they got to the field she was actually wearing it like a party hat!! She’s so funny.
Hope your girl is OK. Ignore the pleading eyes to remove the muzzle.

A muzzle is cheaper

Fortunately we don’t get a lot of litter where I walk my dog, but he likes to eat poo. Rabbit, sheep, cow and even dog poo. We have some very revolting results, but thankfully it doesn’t usually require surgery.

I’ve got a big daft lump dogs one ate the net off a joint but I didn’t find out until his poop was netted the other one ate something wrapped in foil - poo picking isn’t any more fun when it’s twinkly. That’s not to mention the pizza, kebab , the top of my sandwich and strangely half a Tesco value chocolate roll complete with wrapper- he really wanted that because normally I can get stuff off him.

They are bloody tea leafs with no conscience

Ah I forgot the poop swan duck goose partridge horse no bother in it goes

Wicked but very very cute!

You don’t have a pet, you have a walking vet’s bill…

oh and 250g bag of liquorice allsorts

It’s not just me who’s got a furry bin! So worst was the stash of weed that she ate on a walk. Didn’t know until about 2 hours later, when she was staggering around the house bumping off the walls and fell over. I thought she’d had a stroke and called the vets Saturday night (of course, when else?) They wanted to see her and it was during the first lockdown so we couldn’t go in, they came out in virtually full hazmat suits and we had a consultation with all of us shouting through our masks in the car park and her sitting there looking very dopey. Literally! Overnight stay at the vet on a drip and being fed charcoal. I’m sure the vets thought it was my stash…

Wow OP what an amazing photo with the sun in the background.
We also have a scavenging dog, Spaniel in our case and she’s made herself ill eating goodness knows what on walks. She loves the park in summer when the bins haven’t been emptied and there have been picnics all weekend, she’s such a greedy bastard. We now keep her on lead mostly or watch her very closely.

Hope your pup makes a full recovery.

My twat of a golden has, so far, eaten….loads of socks (the first one caused huge panic but it was eventually shat out in the garden whole. Now I just wait 🤷‍♀️), a sponge scourer, bits of wall and floor tiles.
hes 9 months old so will hopefully manage to get to 1 without an emergency trip to the vet.

My 14 year old Beagle will eat anything not nailed down. I have the bin in a cupboard with a child lock on, all the cupboards have locks after the flour incident and at the age of six yrs she discovered she could open the fridge. When that got a lock too she moved onto the freezer 🙄. However her crowning moment was climbing on the dining table and eating a bag of party balloons, no visit to the vet needed as she did a rainbow poo very quickly

The only thing mine won’t scavenge out in the street is Haribo sweets, which I find quite concerning tbh!

My Clumber spaniel once ate several baby wipes.
I was unaware of this until he stopped for a poo (middle of the main road in our village of course) and I had to do an impression of the worlds shittiest magician pulling baby wipes out of his bottom!
That was grim.

I feel less bad now about my dick head Lakeland eating a carrier bag of chicken bones and costing £5k at the vets. Out of hours of course, why do it in hours and save us about £2k. That was jafter stealing a Walls mini milk ice lolly not 2 weeks before and eating it all stick included. £800….again out of hours. He is now muzzled for all out door activities 😂

@littlepammie70 my friends beagle is the greedies bastard of a dog we all know 😂 his talents for stealing food is truly limitless. He’s been known to jump stair gates, get into cupboards and rip into the 20kg bag of dry cat food and then have the temerity to sit by his bowl at dinner time!
He once swiped the burger out of dds bun at a bbq, ate a Christmas pudding for 10 from a hamper, regularly manages to kick the bin out of its cupboard (that the bin didn’t live in pre dog) and knock it over to eat anything he can.
He’s such a character and I love walking him when I’m asked but my god he’s exhausting 😂

Many years ago, I had a German Shepherd Dog and an Afghan Hound. The worked as a pair. The Afghan used his long pointy nose and long back legs to stand up and open the handle and catch on the pantry door. The GSD would stand watch. If I strayed from the kitchen towards the pantry, the GSD would run interference (bring me her toys/bark etc) whilst the Affy got into the pantry and lifted anything of interest - cooked chicken, cold cooked sausages etc. They didn't like puddings or biscuits, so left them. After I witnessed them doing this, I changed the door fixture to a twist knob. They used their mutual transferable skills to the fridge. Long nose and powerful paws worked well together . .

In the end, I had to supervise them closely at all times and padlocked both the pantry and the fridge. They were not amused . . .

@sellotapechicken I have a dog who, when she was a puppy, dived through the house to the first open door which happened to be our bedroom!! grabbed and swallowed one hearing aid (privately purchased and not cheap!!!) never bothered checking out the hundreds of poops every day because I just knew it was not going to be used again!! had to replace the whole pair at a cost of £2.6k! same dog at the collars of 20 made to measure shirts in the tumble drier!!

@sellotapechicken again, same dog! pushes my chair around the kitchen so she can easily steal any food!! even caught her licking the pot of gravy!! the odd leg of lamb, boxes of cakes, you name it, everything is fair game!
