I WISH she would stop eating everything she sees! Yesterday Bonnie and I saw a spider at the same time. Of course she ran after it, with me right after her. I managed to mash it with my shoe, and as I was going to get something to pick it up, she ATE IT! |
Agreed!!! Absolutely EVERYTHING goes into Chloe's mouth. It's a race between her and my husband to see whether he can fish it out before she swallows it. When we're outside on the leash and she picks something up she knows she's not supposed to have, she immediately SPRINTS for the end of her leash...hoping we won't notice I guess! -C |
Sadie tried to eat a daddy long legs yesterday and had to learn a very hard lesson. it gave her it's stinky toxin thing that they do to fight back and it made her go nuts trying to get it off her face, and then she threw up and foamed up and got sick 4 times before she finally got it all out and stopping gagging and making those heaving noises. it was terrifying for me to watch her go through it, but because she was rejected it we didn't rush to the ER vets, and we just waited and she got over it...if she hadn't stopped throwing up and gagging this morning i was going to the vet ASAP, but she threw up a forth time and was fine after that...needless to say she's not too keen on eating everything anymore |
Hi Yep Dustie is the same..nearly 7 months and just loves anything that flies..crawls or moves.:D He will sometimes give it up..if I am quick enough..but wasps are now my main worry really. At night when we let him out to do his duties he is so busy chasing everything..moths etc. that he forgets what he has gone out to...and often ends up coming back in..only to do it by the door...So naughty or what!!:( Chrisann x |
If anyone asked me the ONE thing that I found most difficult in owning a yorkie, it would be this issue!!!! It drives me nuts, when we go on walks...She puts everything in her mouth, and makes me a nervous wreck that it is something that is going to harm her...My friend, w/a yorkie, says they get better about this w/age, but then her yorkie is 3 years old...:rolleyes: |
Bailey is horrible for eating everything in sight as well:rolleyes: Then if he knows that I've spotted him he takes off as fast as his little legs can carry him, chewing on the unknown object the whole time! It drives me crazy, I'm afraid he will eat something that will make him very sick. |
I generally do think it is a puppy trait...they just go for anything that moves or flies around..it amuses them..As for other objects etc. again the teething thing as well..something to chew on. My Dustie will give things up if he knows he can't swallow them..His favourite are clothes pegs..but he will drop them...but paper is a problem..any sort and particularly the Daily Newspaper...I have to get to the letterbox before he does..:) or there isn't much left of it... My other Yorkies in the past had similar traits..but they did grow out of it with patience..and telling them No when you disaprove...They are young and like naughty teenagers ...I reckon Dustie is now about 15 in human years..he is being a rebel..:rolleyes: Chris x |
my yorkie dose not do this he did when he was 3or 4 mounths old but now he has stoped he is only nine mounths my chiweenie is a year and eats all bugs i keep telling her it will be the death of her but my moms pug will eat enything bottle caps milkjug lids pinecones and acorns just to name a few and the only time she has ever had a emergency it had nothing to do with her stomich but the only thing my yorkie eats is his food and eny food the kids leave unattended |
