So if you had like really nice, dark chocolate- that's bad. M&amp;M's (like my Dixie got into?) It's jsut the sugar that will make them cracked out.</p> <p>I also read somewhere once that chocolate reacts with their brains similarly to ecstacy pills with humans, not sure if that's true or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1366867 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:42:24 +0000 LovelyPlum 1366867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: oh geez!! Poor Oliver :( It's amazing the things that they can eat and be fine, but then some things are so bad for them. My biggest paranoia has become making sure that I don't drop garlic on the floor when I'm mincing it, because it makes her so, so sick. I've done it a few times accidentally, and she's gotten to it, with very bad results. I'm way more scared of garlic than chocolate, to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1366856 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:39:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 1366856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: a razor blade!?! We once broke a glass and I'm pretty sure a small shard got in her food before I could throw it away. I couldn't find it and I was a TOTAL MESS that she was going to get cut and bleed out and and and... you get the picture. She was totally fine. I'm glad that yours was, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1366798 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:30:12 +0000 kjpugs 1366798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is INSANE!!! Reminded me of my dogs from childhood...</p> <p>With Snowball, we had a water balloon fight, and he ate all the popped balloons in the yard because he was pooping multi-colored poops just speckled with balloon bits.</p> <p>Oliver was the worst though. He once unwrapped and ate an entire coffee cake. Once he ate an entire muffin I had sitting on the table. (We regretted teaching him to sit at our dining room table on the chairs with us.) We'd find the weirdest things in his cage- coconut macaroons, those big atomic fireball candies- so bizarre. He eventually died because he would get into peoples' purses (our cleaning lady would say "Oliver very bad!" all the time because of him stealing her stuff) and he somehow got into sugar free gum, which has xylitol in it which is toxic and put him in liver failure, they couldn't save him :( Silly pug knew better, he was only four though it was really sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1365359 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:20:35 +0000 PawPrints 1365359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my favorite thread ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1365071 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 17:10:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 1365071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: ??!?!?!?!!!!!

I was worried because we were about to take her on a cross-country flight but she was unfazed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1365014 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:54:28 +0000 mrs. 64 1365014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know if I can remember everything: some battery acid, 3 packs of frontline, a whole bottle of probiotics, silica gel, printer ink cartridge, a highlighter, countless pens/pencils/markers. We have called the pet poison control before, but she's never had anything worse than the mildest upset stomach. She has the stomach of steel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1364468 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:57:48 +0000 autumnlove 1364468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: that is so crazy!!</p> <p>We took him to the vet and they said he is fine...but bring him back if we notice weird behavior. Yay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1364461 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:55:35 +0000 LBee 1364461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flat razor blade (I kid you not - it was before I knew my husband and he didn't take her to the vet - she ended up passing it on her own), a sock (same story as before), and a pack of orbit gum (this was on my watch - dog had to get her stomach pumped). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1364449 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:52:28 +0000 alphagam84 1364449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work at a vet clinic and they had the most bizarre case. A lab was brought in for not eating and despite xrays, labs, etc. they could not figure out what was wrong with this dog. He was literally wasting away every day, becoming skin and bones. Even if we got him to eat something, he vomited it back up. As a last resort as the dog was going to die, they opened him up for exploratory surgery. While inspecting his intestines, they found the problem. The dog had eaten clear fishing line and it got all tangled in his gut. The fishing line was literally cause holes in his intestine. I was assisting in the surgery so I got to see everything. They pulled out the fishing line and sewed the holes in his intestines up. It was a really interesting case. The dog made a full recovery and the owner had a very big vet bill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1364151 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:31:38 +0000 HabesBabe 1364151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our golden did! I was cutting a mango and he swallowed the pit whole. 10+ months later, he started acting weird and didn't eat dinner-- took him to the vet and there was an obstruction in his intestine.</p> <p>$2,000+ surgery and 3 nights later, he was finally released... I always hear of dogs eating rugs and shoes and stuff in this thread, and nothing happens to them! Best of luck with your pooch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1364102 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:24:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1364102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: yeah.....it was special....

Ours managed to eat part of a 9 by 13 foot area rug once, along with part of a leather glove and two boots. This was all in the same day. Needless to say, we bought her a crate after that really bad day ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1363941 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:50:28 +0000 tequiero21 1363941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: yeah, I know. I'm gagging at the thought now. And the weird thing is, my first dog did the same. I guess they see something hopping, they want to catch it....and they both succeeded. But it doesn't agree with their stomach and they both foamed and gagged. I can't say I saw the frog come back out though. Hmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad/page/2#post-1363925 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:47:06 +0000 LovelyPlum 1363925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: whaaaaaa?!?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363871 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:35:19 +0000 tequiero21 1363871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A frog and foamed and gagged for a bit.

No idea why, but he loooooves my bar soap, so I have to hide it in our closet every time I get out of the shower. </p> <p>Tampon, luckily unused. I left the vanity drawer open though, and it was shredded, and I only found a few pieces, along with the wrapper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363794 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:19:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1363794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I hope he's ok :-( </p> <p>Mine would get into the trash every now and then, and one time, they ate a whole bunch of chicken bones. Thankfully, they're such big dogs that the vet said they were probably ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363789 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:18:17 +0000 littlebug 1363789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An enormous box of expensive Mexican chocolate that my mom had brought home from a business trip. Not.cool. He was SO sick. He spent a couple nights at the vet's, from what I remember. I was in college at the time, so I'm fuzzy on the details. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363774 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:15:18 +0000 mrs bunchy 1363774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: haha sounds like my dog. I turn around and she's on the table scoping it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363768 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:14:14 +0000 bookwormmama 1363768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog dug into my purse early this morning and ate a tootsie roll pop. I only found half the stick which means he ate the other half, the candy and the wrapper. Luckily there's hardly any chocolate in them and he's a big dog, but I took off my shift at work to keep on eye on him. </p> <p>I'm so annoyed with him because he is a candy freak and left the granola bar alone but ate all the candy he could find in my bag. Good thing I don't keep a lot of chocolate in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363685 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:59:38 +0000 jodyblair 1363685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes...whole. And it was huge! I don't know how he didn't need surgery for that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363642 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:52:37 +0000 Ra 1363642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bag of yogurt covered raisins.

My late great pomeranian mix ate an entire live bird once. We came home to find only a few feathers and what we believed to be a heart. ) She was sick for days. Eventually I actually think she ate rat poison and that is what killed her, but we can't be sure. RIP Puffy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-dog-ever-swallowed-something-bad#post-1363497 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:10:16 +0000 chopsuey 1363497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh.
