How does a 7lb dog think it's okay to swallow a pair of underwear whole! This was at 1 am. I started freaking out, called the closest emergency vet (an hour away) and they said I need to bring him down. After 20 minutes of waiting for him to throw up, and nothing happening, I grabbed my purse and took him down.
They induced vomiting and he threw them up whole, plus his 2 inch long bully stick that he swallowed right before the underwear. I also, tried to grab it from him because it was getting too small and he swallowed it.
I feel like in his puppy mind he was thinking (no if I can't have it, you won't either)
He doesn't chew up his food much either which has Ben a concern. I gave him heart guard on the first and he swallowed that.... Which isn't too small of a "treat"......
This is a warning sign to me that I need to start keeping things away from him better... And start really working on training him because he definitely is hyperactive and has his own stubbornness about him naturally. I think I have a challenge ahead of me...
Also, I think doggy daycare is in our nearfuture. He just is so high energy. |
A friend of mine at work has a terrier size dog, that she has never really watched too closely.....Cutie kind of does as she wants to do around the house, and is quick like a bunny....as a result, my friend has that dog in the ER at least 3x's a month, retrieving bits of rawhide bones, underware, socks, shoelaces, her panty hose, pieces of foam from dog bed, nerf balls, rubber balls, ping pong balls, a GOLF BALL, a cork from a wine bottle, etc, etc, etc...and she has 3 kids that love to feed this dog objects to watch them disappear!!!!!!!! I am appalled, stunned and shocked at what this poor dog has ingested and survived.....she has pulled more panty hose and socks out of that dogs butt than I even own! I have told her and tld her she MUST do better at supervising this dog....and the kids....or the dog is going to die from this......this has been going on for several years without improvement, so I expect no changes. I feel so sorry for this pup.....
