Dogs emergancy

My daughter's labrador ate 3 mincepies and his heart rate went up to 200 and he was clearly unwell. Quick visit to the vets and £280 later he slept it off

I’m relieved your dogs are ok. I’d have been off to the vet had it been my dogs but in my family we often laugh about ‘the olden days’ when our dogs ate all kinds of stuff they’d sniffed out but lived to tell the tale. My mum shared her breakfast with her sheltie, including grapes. He lived to 17 happy years. My spaniel ate all the Easter eggs I’d hidden, got the lid off the box. She was absolutely fine, it was milk chocolate so maybe that helped.
My friend’s golden retriever ate the ingredients for two Christmas cakes that she’d weighed and left on the kitchen table when she answered the front door. He was a tad smelly and needed more frequent garden visits but no problems.
These incidents were many years ago, these days the dogs would definitely have been off to the vet

My labradoodle ate my daughter’s contraceptive pills - daughter was packing to go to a festival with her boyfriend. I banished daughter to the GP and dog to the vet. She was a big 30kg dog - the vet was amused and unconcerned.
Dogs 🙈🐕🐶

Thank you again everyone 😘
Teddy & Jagger are very sleepy this morning, though that’s not too unusual.
They have some more charcoal to take & as others have said they will be a tad hang dog for a few days . I can see lots of
cuddles 🥰
Though , yesterday I had already agreed to have DS 3 little Cavapoo’s for the day !
They are no trouble x

Dogs! What are they like...

Many years ago my son had a New Year's Eve party at home. We were out.
My friend down the road was looking out of her bedroom window to watch the fireworks at midnight and saw my son and his friends, with our dog bringing up the rear, all merrily doing the conga down the road at midnight 🥳
Poor dog had such a hangover the next day...

Oh dear , I am sure that your Son got a dressing down for that & can only imagine with his friends he thought it good fun. He wanted the dogs to join in 😊

Glad your dogs are OK, and hopefully ready for a less eventful day.

Say that about one my cockers
But it’s hard when folks give praise for his lovable silly antics

Springer spaniels?

Born half wild,
Die half trained.

Glad all’s well NanaTuesday
V3ra not sure our Jess was ever that trainable but she certainly did plenty of sniffing!! 🤣 There’s nothing quite like a spaniel is there! 🥰

Glad to hear they are okay, I shared your pain waiting, they are such a worry when they do things like that.

So glad all is well. Thanks for the update, relief all round.
Beautiful dogs.

Many years ago when we had a house full of chiildren and 2 dogs our springer spaniel suddenly had an awful bout of vomiting and diarrhoea. She too was very “hang dog” for a good few days but I’d no idea what had caused it. Until about a week later I discovered the very scant remnants of a marzipaned, iced and beautifully decorated Christmas Cake. Made by a friend, I’d tucked it away, boxed of course, behind a large armchair in the lounge. We had a big house and this was the one tidy room that children and dogs were not really supposed to be in unsupervised. Clearly that went well! The dog must have repeatedly nudged the sliding door until she could squeeze in, eat the 95% of the cake and then slink back out again. Amazingly the dog suffered absolutely no ill effects, sadly the same could not be said about the carpet in the hallway!

Sounds like your dog was like Jagger who is like a sniffer dog 🐶 I’m sure we could train him .
I can imagine your surprise at the discovery.
What a feast that must of been 🐶

That’s fine , not a problem 🐶🐶
They are two different breeds, though very similar & quite confusing 🫤

Thank you for all your comments & apologies for misspelling’ Emergency’ I was in stressed mode 😢

Our Fur babies are back home with us after their treatments to make them vomit & then to stop the vomiting 🤮
We have charcoal treatment to give them , which is going to be a bit messy for us all .

For now they are feeling listless , sleepy & look very sad & sorry for themselves .
A massive thanks to our vets & I am so grateful that they wereceven open after 6pm . We got them there within 5 minutes & they were weighed & whizzed into treatment rooms .

I should have known that but I’ve always called them Cavalier King Charles spaniels.

Bit of a mouthful really. 😂

What’s KCC?

Yes our dog has eaten things like this.
And survived.
Wishing you all the best.

You're not irresponsible NanaTuesday. They're naughty creatures these dogs and I think many of us have had the same thing happen. I'm sure they'll be fine.

I was away all day today. DH phoned to say that while he went out for 10 minutes to get petrol our dog had eaten the new chamois leather cloth I had bought him as a little present for his new car. Hopefully it will pass out of his bottom tomorrow.

Oh yes! Thanks.

King Charles Cavaliers?

What’s KCC?

Hope they’re OK.

Fingers crossed for them, my spaniel has had the injection to make him sick too, when he stole a bag of pick and mix.

They will be fine, the chocolate will still be in their stomachs so the vomit will remove most of it.
Our family spaniel ate a whole bunch of grapes when still quite small. Left in a shopping bag on the floor by a visitor!
He was taken to the emergency vet and stomach pumped. All was well, but he was very ‘hang dog’ for couple of days.
Fingers and paws crossed for you.

Long ago a friend's dog (female) ate a whole packet of contraceptive pills. The only noticeable effect was that she (the dog, not the owner) became very boisterous for a couple of days and leapt right over a sofa in excitement. The vet said they hadn't harmed her and she would be Ok, which provd true.
