My dog has just eaten his body weight in biscuits

Dd left the cupboard door open and the lid off of the freshly restocked biscuit tin.

The whippet has all but emptied it. Only stopping becase he knocked the tin out of the cupboard and scared himself witless. I can actually see his fat little biscuit bulge Hmm Fortunately it was all cow biscuits, rich tea and digestives, no chocolate.

He doesn't have the most stable of tummies at the best of times.

I am not in for a good night.

Oh dear! He won't be needing any tea tonight then. I hope it doesn't turn out too badly. At least there wasn't any chocolate in it so you don't have to worry.

Oh yikes, I commiserate. As the proud owner of a whippety lurcher with a decidedly unstable tummy I can only imagine the carnage that would cause in this house...

I take it you have bleach / kitchen roll / carrier bags on standby?

I wish you luck!

(and I hope whippet does not suffer too badly)

My dog decided to drag the bin contents out all over the floor in the night and eat a pot of squash and chilli dip that DH binned as it was off. He has had rancid farts all day and I am Angry bloody greedy fecker.

Get your marigolds at the ready!

Ha ha ha ha!!!! Welcome to my world!! One of our dogs got into the fridge, ate a chicken, a leg of pork, a new packet of parma ham, lots of cheese.... She then got into the cupboard and ate all the bics! She survived. Any opportunity to raid the bin will be taken, and we have resorted to combination locks to keep our food safe. Then the mice get in....

Yes, not surprisingly he has turned his nose up at tea and is looking a little sorry for himself now.

I think he had a bit of a sugar high earlier, was doing mad pupppy circuits which he doesn't really do in the house anymore.

He is not having a good day, he has over biscuited himself and I have washed all his blankets before we go away, he gets terribly worried when they are washed, I think he models himself on Schnitzel von Krumm, though obviously with ever so slightly longer legs Grin

I wouldn't feed him for 24 hours if he really has eaten that much.

Keep an eye on him and make sure he has access to water as he will be very thirsty.

GobblersKnob · 30/07/2012 21:39

He is super picky at the best of times, he has some (dog) biscuits down should he fancy some. He always has fresh water but doesn't really drink ever, he is like a whippety camel.

24 hour starvation, especially if you're going to have a few unpleasant consequences.

Make sure there is plenty of water for him.

Dogs can be awful buggers for scavenging. My old Border Collie got my mum's cat to knock nearly a whole tier of my wedding cake from the wardrobe onto the floor. She ate it all- that was unpleasant for 48 hours.

She also worked out how to open my mum's bread bin and helped herself to a brand new loaf of bread.

Hope he feels better soon.

Gobblers Schnitzel Grin - can see him now.

All these polite tales of consumption of 'food'? I'm standing by for when thread moves on to goose sh*t.......the smell....aaargh.

GobblersKnob · 30/07/2012 21:59

Ha, he loves a bit goose poo.

His worst crime was once eating the contents of a freshly pooed in potty and then vomiting it out as a river of shite all over the living room Envy

GobblersKnob · 30/07/2012 22:01

Hmm, one small very biscuity vomit as I posted that.

OP posts:
iseenodust · 30/07/2012 22:11

Noooo not the potty. i think that turns my tummy even more than goose poo.
Well if the vomiting starts now maybe he won't save it for 5am as ours likes to.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 30/07/2012 23:24

I was looking after a friend's Lab who is a lot less thick more intelligent than mine and between them they devoured a pan of chocolate brownies after friend's Lab managed to open the fridge BlushShock

After a terrifying phone call to the vet, they were both fine - thank goodness for cheap chocolate with hardly any cocoa solids.

I am ignoring the potty post

GobblersKnob · 31/07/2012 07:59

Well the night was amazingly incident free ShockGrin

Just that one teeny puke last night, I can imagine he will be now canvassing for a change of diet.
