My dog just ate some cooked chilli pepper from a cooked curry - will he be OK?

[chillidog]

He climbed onto the table and ate some chilli pepper I had picked out of my curry for being too hot. Altogether he won't have had more than a 2 inch square of pepper. They've got digestions of iron, haven't they???

Hot Dog !

Sorry

I'm sure he will be OK .

Ds is walking him tonight...extra poo bags do you think?

Thanks for the reassurance.

Nah.....but possibly some baby wipes and milk to 'refresh and sooth' his tangy ring of fire!!!

Aw. Milk works, does it?

He may throw up or have a dodgy tummy, but should be ok. I would stay down wind too!

If not the mr vet for him tomorrow!!

Extra poo bags definitely !

dogs are scavengers and their body has a way of getting rid of something nasty if it doesn't agree with them.

Makes a change from deer poo I suppose - my dogs favourite at the moment

I immediately thought I'd be up in the night with him. Hopefully it'll pass before then, though.

Ah poor dog - will have a ripe old poo then lick his bum and have it all again !

It works for my tongue after a fiery chilli or curry....it might work on the other end too!

Baby wipe before arse lick, then, if we can manage it.

Anyway, I've told him I'm talking to Mumsnet about him.

Our dog helped herself to some jalaleno sausages(...or perhaps burgers, I forget, either way spicy fuckers) waiting to go on the bbq last summer.

She was disturbingly fine, no noticeable side effects whatsoever. I think I would have suffered more if I'd eaten them myself!

He's a terrier. Tough as old boots (I fervently hope) and cheeky with it.

Good luck with the baby wipe...I now have visions of you running round the park trying to wipe said dog's arse!

Not so long ago it was ds I was chasing! Now he's the dog walker, old enough to drive to the park if need be.

He could be pretty poorly. We had a patient last night that had eaten enchilada and was vomiting pretty violently.

He seems OK so far. In good spirits and has moved his bowels normally.

Will obv watch him overnight however.

How's dog today ?

He's been fine, thanks!

He's just been planning his route onto the dining table for some sausage...

I am glad he is ok. I recently lost my dog to massive liver failure after he ate a plate of onion cakes an indian friend left for me. He went from full health to death within 24 hours. Our vets do baseline bloodtests every year when they vaccinate so they were able to quickly to confirm what had happened but sadly the damage was done.

Oh, no, that is awful, Theodorakis. Ours usually knows better than to get on the table and I am careful what I leave lying around. Presumably with yours, it was the onion as well as the spices.
