This is a gross story, but it could be helpful if you have a dog.

On tuesday, my dog Q found a package of raw steak in my grandpa's van while he and my mom were bringing in the groceries.  He ripped it open and ate about 2 steaks worth.  My dog is a Basenji, about 23 pounds, so that's a lot of meat for him.  He's also 14 years old and his digestive system doesn't work very well and he normally is on a very strict diet because a lot of stuff makes him sick.  So of course, the steak made him sick.

Fast forward to today.  Evidently, they didn't get all the steak out of the car because Q found a piece today that was all rancid and gross because it had been in the van all week under one of the seats.  I went over to my mom's after work about 10 mins after it happened.  We decided that the meat was probably going to not only make him sick because he can't digest it, but also might make him more seriously ill because the meat was actually green on the outside.  So we decided to induce vomiting.  I know it sounds crazy to make him sick so he won't get sick, but that's just what had to be done. 

I got a turkey baster and put 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide in it.  We made him drink a little.  He threw up the steak, then his food from earlier in the day, then bile... oh god it was disgusting. 

Anyways, my point is that if you have a dog that eats something dangerous, try giving it some hydrogen peroxide.  It is VERY effective and it could save your dog's life.  Just be prepared for a very unhappy puppy that barfs a lot for a while, and make sure you provide a lot of fresh water.

I knew a dog that would eat anything - its main diet was Campbell chicken noodle soup... and it basically bit open a bottle of no-doze and at all the pills... and that was the end of the line.

This dog was so gross... and smelly... it would actually sit in front of a floor fan after it ate, butt further from the fan than its nose... and wait on the eruptions.  Chicken noodle soup from the can is not a good thing for a dog

Pics or it never happened. :icon_jokercolor:

Can you take pictures of a smell?  :icon_scratch:

Send me a cotton swab soaked in the vomit. I'll judge it for taste and texture.  :icon_jokercolor:

BTW, About two weeks ago, I was mowing the lawn, and I didn't see the pile of raccoon diarrhea that was sitting there...
The smell that shot back at me as the lawn mower passed through the shit was sickening.
The blade pretty much sliced right through the pile and probably propelled it around as it swept into the collection bag! :sad:

my dad had a cat named tang who ate pretty much whatever he wanted. anything he found in the yard was fair game. of course inducing vomiting for a cat wasn't necessary (they do that more than well enough on their own). however, his diet gave him some seriously strong flatulence. so "tang" the orange tabby because "texaco" the furry gas production plant. a barely relevant story, but CB's dog story reminded me.

glad to hear the dog is ok! i can only imagine if that meat had gone any further.

I had an American Eskimo named Rocky that would eat paper. He'd eat toilet paper like spaghetti and run full tilt through the house and steal one kleenex off the top of the box without moving the rest of it, eat it behind the couch and repeat. One day he wolfed an entire box of kleenex, still in the box.

When that one came back up the inside bits were still dry and folded properly.


Point of the story? Dogs are gross.

Really?
The stomach acid didn't soak it?


I remember seeing a thing on TV once about this woman who had a nervous habit of eating as much as a roll of toilet paper a day.  :sad:
She was in the ER with some kind of intestinal blockage, and obviously, they wanted to get her some psychiatric help too.

I'm not sure how efficient a dog's digestive system is, but if you still have the dog that eats paper, make sure he doesn't get plugged up.  :sad:

Our dog is a blue healer / border collie and she is going on about 13 now.  She has a bad habit of sucking on socks and underwear out of the hamper and chewing on snotty kleenex out of the bathroom garbage.  We have to close the door now because she does the most idiotic things like eat the wrapper my wifes unmentionables come in.  Which gives her diarhreehearreereea (how do you spell that?) for 2 weeks before she manages to .. * ahem * get rid of it.  I don't understand how such an intelligent dog can be so flippin' stupid.  Sometimes we'll give her a corn chip if we're eating nachos...  guaranteed... every single time the first chip goes down without chewing first.  Gagging and coughing follow, then some chewing noises.  The 2nd chip she chews first.  How can she forget everytime?

You think making a dog vomit is gross, try to give one an enema :doh:

I was almost going to mention that "I gave my cat an enema" website/story/whatever.
That was hilarious.  :blob7:
Also, quite disgusting! :sad:

You thought you were going to be a man and disregard the warning, but now you can't even handle a little dog vomit story before eating? :toothy12: :blob7:

Meh, am I the only one here that watches Dr. G while eating?

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Wow, that IS gross.

My family used to have 4 Newfoundlands and their gross thing would be to wander around the farm and then find half of a month old cow carcass dump it on the front lawn, then proceed to devour it. You could smell that coming and could do nothing about it because you'd gag within 5 meters of the things.

Where's that spewing emoticon?

Oh I knew what was coming and it wasn't even particularly gross, I just dislike missing an opportunity for comedy
The leaky (and smelly, believe you me) toilet on the train home was a whole lot more gross, hehe.
