Another poison
« on: February 01, 2021, 05:29:57 PM »
Dogs get sick or die when they eat:  grapes/rasins, chocolate, onions, any bulbs, salmon skin here or avocado, 

Add POT  to the list.  A dog on another site almost died because he found a discarded pot cigerett and ate it.  The paper was seen in his feces the next day.  He had been taken to a dog walking rest stop and must have picked it up there.   When he became very ill, the owners took him to an emergency vet and he was hospitalized a couple days. 

Just another thing to watch out for when you take your dogs to make a p stop along the Interstate.

My sister-in-law is a vet tech and she sees this all the time. THC is no good for dogs.

Pot brownies sure helped when needing to pull out 220 porcupine quills a few years ago. Dog had no issues other than she slept an extra 6 hours that night.  Wasn't my dog, I was just the pliers man.

My dog loves salmon skin. I always cook it first though. Vet said that's fine. I had a dog get salmon poisoning as a kid,  it was no fun.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Cooked salmon skin is fine for dogs, otherwise 99% (totally made up number  :rolleyes:) of sled dog owners would be killing their dogs.
My family has been feeding our dogs cooked salmon skin leftovers from dinner for many generations, never had a problem.

The problem with salmon is a parasite in the blood. Cooking kills the parasite. Per my vet, the salmon trout species carry it, but other fish like halibut do not. Add macadamia nuts to the list.

The lab I had when we lived in California ate every avacado that fell from the tree and lived to seventeen. Other than giant green turds with avacodo pits in them we never had any problems.

Google chocolate and dogs and you’ll find a chart by body weight. It take a fair bit to affect them, and there’s not all that much chocolate in the normal milk chocolate. The high grade chocolate is a lot more dangerous.

I have been here...Dark chocolate is really really bad. I have taken my dog twice due to my kids (then young) not paying attention. Very expensive affaires but the dog is sleeping at my feet as I write this. No human food is my  rule....period. Accidents do happen...have your vet on speed dial  :tup:

Our lab pretty much eats everything she can get.  She chowed onions a couple of times and barfed.  When she was about 8 weeks old she snuck into the kids room and pounded tons of chocolate from their Christmas stockings.  The online vet said Christmas chocolate usually doesn't cause problems because there is basically no real chocolate in there.  The back yard was sparkly from colored foil wrappers for a couple of days.

Since then, she's found Christmas goodies several times, once at my brother's house and once at the in-laws.  Both led to carpet cleaning.

She ate something once, can't even remember what it was, but the vet suggested we get it out of her stomach pronto.  We gave her a very small bowl of hydrogen peroxide as directed which she lapped up and then barfed a minute or two later.  We've done that routine a couple of times, last one was when she ate some balloons for whatever reason.
