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.

i have a twatfordshire bull terrier. Last month she suddenly became lethargic, wouldn't eat, kept hiding away and then started with the vomiting and diarrhoea. Off to the vets we go.

£2,500 later and the discovery of a 'foreign body' in her gut, diagnosed with ileus, she came home after a three day stay and was put on a strict diet. Dry roasted sweet potato and white fish only. Day after coming home, she broke into the locked food caddy and ate the remains of a chicken jalfreizi, potato peelings, two slices of tiger bread and the end of an onion. Back to the vets we went...

She's currently snoring and farting happily next to me...

This.

Years ago my dog brought me a freshly cooked leg of lamb, never found out who had lost their Sunday dinner, the nearest neighbour was a mile away!
A friend’s dog ate an entire Christmas cake, followed the next day with a massive box of chocolate, including the box and wrapping. No ill effects whatsoever.
DD’s dog has an uncanny ability to find the most disgusting things out on walks from used tampons to dead rabbits swarming in maggots.
Luckily, so far, the ZDogs haven’t found anything too revolting but plenty of time to get there!

This is one reason i won’t ever have a dog. Most children can be taught not to eat stupid things, but dogs never grow out of stupid, dangerous behaviour like this.

eem…. @Zippedydodah nearly the same name! Haven’t seen you before! 👋

I have a Yorkie X Scotty and a Glen of Imaal. They will both eat anything and everything. Whole tubs of quality street. Cat shit. Plastic containers. Whatever they can get their snouts on the little shits. This is why my kitchen bin lives on top of the dishwasher. Oh and I have a void cat who also eats plastic.

When I was a kid I had a cat that ate tinsel and was pooping it for days. That was the end of tinsel on the christmas tree in our house!!

Thank you for the solidarity!

Bichon, would eat anything except dog food. He was a grab and run merchant, cake, biscuits, loved a snaffled sandwich, particularly fond of a croissant. Tissues, hearing aids, paper. But give him a bowl of expensive dog kibble designed for dogs just like him he would walk off and sulk. Literally would not touch it and his will power was far stronger than mine.

my parents dog ate a whole load of playdoh once = rainbow poops scattered around the garden over the following few days.

And then there’s the tinsel…that you end up have to pull out their butt a day later as they scoot around the living room in a panic because there’s tinsel hanging out their arsehole.

I live very rurally but a beauty spot regularly visited in summer, just a warning for the dogs that love eating poo we’ve had a lot of dogs brought into the local vet suffering cannabis poisoning. Basically feral tourists shitting by the walking paths and not clearing up after themselves, a regular weed smoker’s shite will contain enough to cause serious harm to dogs.

My dearly missed Lab raided the larder one night and feasted on a whole tub of Betty Crocker’s chocolate frosting, a pack of lasagne sheets, multiple cup-a-soups and a multipack of Snickers amongst other things. Didn’t even have diarrhoea, cast iron stomach bless her.

These are some Very Good Dogs that you are all libelling. They were Helping.

I’ve been on MN for years…..👋🏻

Gorgeous.

Ours ate a wall recently. Too many non food items to list!

Dogs are idiots! I really wonder how their ancestors ever survived in the wild! 😂

Everything in our house is locked! Bin, fridge, cupboards, bedrooms, bathroom etc!

The fridge raiding lurcher ate a whole tub of Abbey Saddlery Leather Conditioner...

I had to phone them and ask them what was in it. They had to go ask everyone in the warehouse til they found the person who knew... who said my dratted lurcher would have very well conditioned innards, but would otherwise be fine as the warehouse collie had done the same thing and it was all edible animal based stuff.

Yup, the shits absolutely flew out of him for days. His coat was also very silky a short while after.

After 18 years of being one step behind this incredibly quick witted theif, we rarely ever (cocoa powder incident asides) leave food out... and now have three dogs who really don't/can't/won't nick stuff - they can be in the same room as a packet of biscuits and not notice!! It's a very weird experience as though Thiefdog has been gone over a decade, we're still very strongly conditioned to expect grand larceny on a daily basis!

Me too!

15, to be precise! 😂

Yup . I also have a small terrorist who turns his nose up and refused it if the ratio of veg to meat to rice in his food bowl isn't to his liking but will happily scoff litter, tissues, insects and even his own shit off the lawn. Twat. Love him.

It was OP’s own bin that the other dog tipped over.

Lockable indoor bin/bin inside a child proof cupboard? Muzzle when out, for sure. A friend’s dog had so many operations for eating socks that the vet said he didn’t have enough intestine left for another operation. 😱
