@tequiero21: whaaaaaa?!?!?!?
-
@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.

@MrsBrewer: that reminds me! 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
-
One ate a dirty sock but that was the only weird thing.
-
@LovelyPlum: LOL!!!! wow!!
-
@MrsBrewer: yeah.....it was special.... Good thing she's cute

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.
$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!

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.

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).
-
@alphagam84: that is so crazy!!
We took him to the vet and they said he is fine...but bring him back if we notice weird behavior. Yay.

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!

@mrs. 64: OMG what dog eats Frontline?!
My dog has chewed a lot of things but I think she's only eaten a kalbi bone. I was worried because we were about to take her on a cross-country flight but she was unfazed.

@mrs. 64: ??!?!?!?!!!!! Holy geez.

This is my favorite thread ever.

This thread is INSANE!!! Reminded me of my dogs from childhood...
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.
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.

@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!
-
@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.
-
@LovelyPlum: yeah, chocolate is not as totally bad as people say, because most of the chocolate we eat is only a small % ACTUAL cocoa, which is the "bad" stuff for them. So if you had like really nice, dark chocolate- that's bad. M&M's (like my Dixie got into?) It's jsut the sugar that will make them cracked out.
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.
