Long Night
« on: January 09, 2003, 09:05:56 AM »
Damn dog... I have two Jack Russell Terriers. One of them is well behaved. The other is more typical of the breed.

Last night, dash two discovered that my daughter had an M&M dispenser in her bed room. Being the resourceful and head strong dog that he is, he quickly got up on the dresser, knocked it down and started wolfing down the chocolate morsels.

At 3AM, he was still throwing up. Looked in on him before I went to work. He looks a little shaken and I don't think he enjoyed his evening.

Maybe he learned his lesson and he'll leave the chocolate alone...



Of course, that's just wishful thinking. He's a knucklehead. He'll do it again, given the chance.

With a small dog... he's lucky it didn't kill him.  Chocolate can really send their heartbeat through the roof.

You should see what happens when a dog eats a can of coffee. ;)

Right Rip, I thought it was toxic, I thought that's the word my vet used to describe it.

I know they make an imitation chocolate for pets, I saw some at the pet store once and fed those to the dog...she loved em...but, umm, the dog also loves the cat's litter box :eek:

Oh yeah... I've heard that chocolate could potentially kill them. I was a little worried, but he started throwing it up within minutes of eating it.

I assumed that if he made it through the night, he'd be okay... It looks like he is.

yep, kids.....


here's a picture of mine getting into trouble.  8 week yellow lab.  His name is Clyde.  He discovered newpaper a couple of days ago.
Last night he discovered electrical cables going to my computer speaker system during squad nite

Rolled him across the floor for that one.  Hopefully he learned his lesson.

Good to hear that yours is coming around.  I understand chocolate is very bad for dogs (potentially fatal).

ya, it's toxic for dogs.  it's been a few years (20 maybe) since I discused it with the vet. but I think he said something about liver damage.

to be on the safe side I'd call the vet and explain the situation.  they'll let you know for free if you should be worried or not.

hydrogen peroxide - one table spoon every 10 min or so until they puke it up

that is what my vet had me do to our akita after she ate a box of chocolates - box and all

took two tablespoons and up it came

The worst dog upchuck I've ever seen, was the time my dog Rover ate a lizard, and then proceeded to upchuck what looked just like raw meatloaf, about the size of a brick.  Called the vet and he said it wasn't life threatening, and would go away after a while.  That it was not deadly toxic.

To me, it looked like my dog was about to die...he was foaming at the mouth, with prostation and convultions.  Thought I was about to lose my dog.

Glad he's okay Sandman.

 My dog once ate a box of crayons, I was worried till I saw all the little multicolored poops in the yard, then it was pretty funny :D
