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.

Growing up, our dog ate tinsel. Had two tails for a while...

@sellotapechicken my Daughter had to pull a pair of knickers out of the arse of one of her dogs! that dog was a nightmare. bath bombs, bars of soap, paracetamol tablets!! everything

Just not worth the hassle..

This absolute shit head ate chocolate as a puppy. Went to the vets, they made him vomit and he barfed a load of chicken wing bones we have no idea he’d eaten.

Thanks for that.

Gosh OP absolute sympathy, my scruff eats absolutely anything on our walks.
we recently spent 15 minutes trying to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on him on a walk after he ate a shite the size of a babies arm.
We have an episode of vomiting and/or diarrhoea every 6 weeks or so as a result of his scavenging, the latest requiring multiple outdoor visits at 12am/2am/4am
Its a complete pain in the arse but he’s absolutely lush so forgiven for all his disgusting habits

my little brown dog recommends hair scrunchies for a nice snack. Or, the fabric coating of an old tennis ball - these can be found in most dog walking areas too. She did not enjoy the nest built by oak processionary moths though, that came straight back up and left her quite poorly for several days.

Mine once ate two sponges, vet made him vomit them up and a surprise plastic bag came out with them too!

I often wonder how dogs ever survived in the wild.

My dog would never. He’s basically a shit eating pilllow.

Border Terrier’s are the best and maddest dogs. I was wading through a river after mine. So headstrong. Love them.

I had to remove a condom (presumably used 🤢) from my lab's mouth - she found it under a hedge

Nothing gladdens a beagle's heart more than a decomposing rabbit to drag home to snack on. Although the solitary, rancid deer leg went down well also.

we got home to find our lab wearing the swing bin top round his neck with a bacon packet stuck in his mouth. Fortunately he was ok.

OMG I'm not sure I can believe everything you've said with that gorgeous butter wouldn't melt face!

you might have to get their mouth wired and feed them through a straw!! 🤣🤣

My border terrier ate an entire tub of Vaseline - the next few days the shits flew out of him at great speed! Like greased lightning!

I thought at 16 I wouldn’t have to pre empt his ridiculous behaviour still 🤣

That’s incredible !

Like a necklace? Did he also look confused as to how you knew it was him? 🤣

We rescued an 8 month old staffy x, we are an household that loves dogs and have always rescued which is relevant because we felt like shit at the time and we'd failed massively after many successful rescues.

Due to shift work my DH and I had slept in separate rooms. I woke up well after DH had left for work and found a lid on the sofa, I smelt it and it reminded me of Germolene, but I knew we didn't have that - I found the chewed up tube and it was Voltarol!

My DH had left the living room door open and let the dog have access to everything, including his bedside table. I was ready to file for divorce.

Dog rushed straight to the vets, warnings of kidney failure. He's still here living his life 3 years later, and with no issues. PetPlan were amazing and covered most of the 2 grand cost, unfortunately premiums went up to £189 a month thereafter.

I did use muzzle training when outside though because he'd pick anything up, and it worked.

Now, he just rolls around in horse and fox shit 🤣.

My stupid CAT eats plastic. He freezes when he’s caught and does an uh oh face then runs off while I’m shouting DROP IT
my dad “that’s not a cat, that’s a Labrador”
any form of plastic from carrier bags to sweet wrappers to bubble wrap to bread bags to dog poo bags
My entire house is now eco bloody friendly because of the sodding giant stupid cat

She’s beautiful and the first photo is great.I’m so glad she’s ok. I used to work as a vet nurse, we removed things from dogs stomachson a weekly basis. It’s quite amazing what they’ll eat.

My small dog got into the bathroom bin and ate three used tampons… after a very expensive / embarrassing trip to the vet she was fine (although did poop out half a tampon with string attached in the park the next day…). We now have dog proof bathroom bins.

The lurcher from one of my previous posts... was the reason our fridge had to live in the meter cupboard at the bottom of our stairs!

He learned to open the door... I came home to find him legs in the air, belly round, groaning and farting (not bloat, just overdone it)..

I got a fridge lock.

He ate it.

I got two fridge locks.

He ate them.

I got a better set of fridge locks - he ripped out the door seal, and ate them.

I gaffer taped the fucking fridge shut, he ripped that off and the seal.

I moved house to a home with the meter cupboard you could fit a fridge in and that finally bested him.

And after all that theiving, he lived nearly 18 years and was sick for just his last weekend on earth (always out of hours, always!!)

My last beagle ate a whole starfish. It frothed up in her mouth, it was absolutely disgusting. She was not letting go of it despite our best efforts. She was completely fine!

Same dog ate a family size bar of galaxy. We'd put it on the coffee table and in the time it took to make a cup of tea it was gone. We spent ages looking for it and thought we must have put it down somewhere else until we saw a piece of the gold paper under the sofa!! Again, she was fine!

Our current one is not such a scavenger but just as greedy.
