Our lab eats all sorts of poo. In fact the list of things she's eaten is long and heroic - everything from steak and salmon steak to the aforementioned poo, by way of 15 mince pies, raspberry turnover, apple cores, broccoli, sprouts, cheese, lots and lots of butter, several tiger loaves - and her best effort, 4.5kg of dried dog food! She looked like a hairy brown barrel on legs after that last feat of gastronomy. Though there is a mumsnetter whose dalmation ate 10kg of dog food, plus the bag. And a child's potters wheel and the clay, on another occasion.
Ddog2, who we think is part wiemeraner, and is incredibly long-legged, can reach much further onto the worktop than ddog1, but her best effort was to lick a toad. Yes, I did say lick a toad.
She came in from a walk and started dribbling furiously, and when it didn't stop, we took her to the emergency vet (why is it they don't do this sort of thing during regular surgery hours). She checked in the dog's mouth for shards of stick or bone (as in Whippy's case), but found no injuries, and as it is the wrong time of year for toadstools (the other major culprit for hypersalivation), she said the most likely thing was she'd licked a toad.
That new hobby cost us £140! Luckily we have pet insurance, but even so, we hope she finds other, less toxic things to lick!
