I've often feared my dog getting chocolate, not to mention the other delicacies yours got.

Add a Dose of Ease to Your Day

I have a dog that likes to eat things that are not edible also or off limits for dogs. Today it was 2 tampons (I know that's disgusting!) I'm so glad I saw your blog because I didn't know what to do. The salt did make him throw up right away. Thanks for your help.

A spoonfull of the normal table mustard we use on food should do the trick without worrying about electrolyte imbalance or peroxide and stuff. Its easily available too. I got the idea from James Herriot's books. He's a vet who wrote about his own experiences in practice, so it should be safe, I guess.

I've done it plenty of times with an ex-neighbours dog, who was kinda prone to chewing anything he could lay his mouth on. One of those sure vomits also included some garden pesticide.

It might vary from dog to dog though, so feel free to use some more mustard to be on the safer side. :D

Wide Aware

I just read the original post on making the dog vomit and had to laugh. My black Lab recently ate 30 days worth of horse Glucosamine. I didn't even think about making him throw up, although that probably would have been a good thing to do. To give you an idea of how overloaded he was, he normally gets about 1500 mg of Glucosamine a day. He has bad knees. I had just bought a bucket of Glucosamine for my horse and was going to take it to the barn in the morning. Magnum (the black Lab, A.K.A. the stomach on legs) went around looking for a midnight snack and found the horses Glucosamine. The bucket has a 2 mo supply for a horse. Each serving (oz) has 5000 mg of Glucosamine as well as various other supplements like yucca and msm (not sure on that). He ate about a mo supply. He had diarrhea for a couple of days but managed to survive his snack. I didn't give him any Glucosamine for a while. This dog has eaten 2 pies, loaves of bread, whole packages of oreo cookies, bags of hamburger buns, guinea pig food, a bag of carrots (that was hard on him), flour, wheat gluten, sugar, bird food, several purses, my coat pocket (it had a horse treat in it) and many other things that I'm sure I've forgotten about. He is TERRIBLE!!

I don't know if you ever tried this method, but it seemed to be quite effective in getting my dog to puke his last couple of meals: tie a piece of the dog's favorite meat around his tail, and let him chase it around for about an hour, then give him a plate full of soda with salt. Works like a charm!

So he doesn't really do that to his dog? That would be good to know. That sounds pretty nasty.

many years ago on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson talking about this very thing. The doctor told him to put it into a squeeze bottle to make it easier to get it into the dog, which, the way Dave was telling it, was still kind of rough, but funny in its own way.

Why treat your dog on your own when the dog can be easily taken to a trauma recovery center and be dealt there with.
