Crazy Stuff Your Pooch Has Eaten

[pourcyne]

When I was a kid, one of our farm cats helped herself to a strainer pad in the milkroom trash (round piece of some kind of permeable material, maybe fortified cotton?). Dad had to take a pair of pliers and perform a strainerectomy when kittykat could not pass it on her own.

The stuff ya learn on the farm...

My pup a couple of winters ago I believe consumed a roach (weed) on a walk.

Was real wobbly and disoriented so took him to an emergency vet. He was fine and they just put him on fluids for a while to flush it out.

I don't smoke or possess weed so the funny part was it was like a Seinfeld episode when every nurse kept passively accusing me of giving him weed.

Each person that I talked to was like 'yeah, usually when this happens it's because they've consumed marijuana' with a wry pointed grin.

When I picked him up I just joked with the person about everyone keeps saying that and the nurse just says 'Yeah...no more marijuana'.

True story. As a young grad I went back to Ames for homecoming. Was having lunch at Applebees on Duff on Sunday. Our Brit was struggling to poop. Lo and behold, she was struggling to pass a condom. Oh the things dogs find to eat in college towns.

I read the title as “cooch” instead of pooch. Changed the understanding of all the later posts.

We had a dog for a bit when I was about 5. He ate the cape from my Superman action figure. Of course, my parents didn’t believe me and thought I’d just lost it somewhere. A few days later, we were at the vets office and the dog poops in the lobby. Sure enough, there’s the cape. I wouldn’t shut up about how I was right and was telling the truth.

My two dogs have eaten all kinds of stuff over the years. Socks, swallowed huge chunks of dog toys, sticks, eaten a whole rhubarb pie, a 2lb bag of frozen chick breasts, a loaf of bread, crayons, etc... After the first couple instances where they handled it just fine I quit worrying about it. If it's too big or something they can't digest, they puke it up a couple hours later. Otherwise, stuff seems to pass right on through with little problem. It's amazing what can go through these these guys and come out the other end intact.

Yeah, it’s always interesting picking up poop in the back yard. I say “oh that’s where that went” quite a bit.

Our dog found one on a hiking trail and tried to eat it. Grossest thing I ever grabbed out of his mouth. I refused to grab the live snakes he catches and just scream until he drops them. Same deal with a live ground squirrel.

So we left Bear, our labrador-pit mix home alone for a couple hours a while back...and he ate...my office.

Well that day I think he was a bad puppy. Sorry to be judgemental.

Had a Irish setter that made himself Xmas dinner one yr, ate a half a pan of Velveeta fudge, a bunch of little pastry tarts, cookies and about a third of a pretty good sized ham.
He was fine no ill effects what so ever. Being a practical lot my folks trimmed of the gnawed on part, threw it back in the oven to kill the germs good to go. LOL.
Ever since then I've always figured a little chocolate won't hurt a dog.

Our older dog ate a dropped pill we were trying to give to our much larger dog. Little ****** wouldn’t touch his own pills hidden completely in cheese or peanut butter, but he was on that like a t-bone the second it dropped. Had to give him peroxide and take him to the vet to get his stomach emptied out

My wife once surgically pulled a sex toy out of a dog.

Last dog was good with pills with a pill pocket. Current dog just likes his pills straight. We tried with a pill pocket, he spit that out, dug out the pill, and swallowed it.

I had a dog that would eat the glass ball Christmas decorations. I dont know what it was, but she would chomp those things up and it freaked me out. Needless to say those were taken off the tree as soon as we realized what she was doing. Thankfully she didnt end up hurting herself.

Yes, yes he was. But, on the bright side, it forced me to thoroughly clean up the office!

First dog stopped eating, no bowel movements, and yelped if you touched her stomach. Took her to the vet, no yelping, nothing wrong. Next day, same thing, took x-rays, nothing. Finally the vet said they could just open her up to do exploratory surgery, so I said go ahead. Vet called us in later and asked if this looked familiar. It was the netting off a beef roast we made a few days before she started acting wierd. Apparently it was twisted up pretty bad in her intestines. Lesson learned, lids for garbages.

1. Part of a plastic squirt gun.
2. An entire large dried up starfish (kind you buy as a souvenir).
3. A massive amount of my Little League chocolate candy that I was supposed to sell. Honestly, I was surprised she came out of that unscathed. The amount she ate would've sickened most people severely, or worse.
4. Leather shoes.
5. Portions of panties which came out the other end with elastic intact.
6. A giant piece of padding ripped out from the arm of a cloth upholstered couch.
7. Dirt from the pot of a plant which was then thrown up (fun clean up).
8. Cat litter or more specifically, cat **** and litter (clay litter) which then was caked inside his mouth, stuck on his teeth, etc.
9. Leftover pork & beans in a can which stained her white muzzle orangish brown for a couple of weeks.
10. An entire loaf of white bread which she opened a drawer with her paw to get to.

I'm probably forgetting some and these were from multiple dogs we've had through the years. To state the obvious: Dogs are a lot of work and a big responsibility.

Years ago, our 10 month old had a massive BM that was essentially a blowout. Quickly took off the diaper and threw him in the tub, get cleaned up, etc. All is well… until 5 minutes later we noticed the diaper sitting off to the side on the bathroom floor…opened and completely clean. Dipsh*t dog (Morkie) a few feet away licking his chops with a stupid ass look on his face…

It was a LOT of BM… still makes me want to vomit thinking about it.

Just had to share though!

Then the dog comes over to lick your face!

Second dog, I was getting ready to throw a pole out to catfish while we were pulling in bass. I set the baited hook down for a second, looked back to put the string in the hook, and it was gone. Looked at my dog who had it in her mouth and yelled drop it. Big ole gulp and it was gone. Vet said they can pass some crazy things, but this was a tri hook, and with my luck it would tear up her intestines and she'd be septic and cost more. They pulled it out of her stomach just before it entered the intestines.

So between the two, my dogs didn't eat $4k in the literal sense like the OP. But might as well have, at least they got most of it back

Those are the moments where it's hard to imagine how dogs are really intelligent animals.
