Title: My Dog Ate What?!
Post by: newbs55 on January 15, 2013, 08:21:04 AM
So my 2 year old Lab/Springer Mix Otis for some reason decided that he wanted to eat the edging/ filling off of his dog bed Saturday night. So after sunday at the vets and ultrasound and surgery yesterday he is gonna make it though. He was pretty touch and go for a few there. Hopefully he eats today and can come home tonight. He has always chewed on his toys but is very good about leaving everything else alone. He voluntarily sleeps in his crate and can go in and out so it wasn't like he was bored or locked in there for hours. I have seen him pass some pretty interesting stuff in the past but this time it got the better of him. Keeping my fingers crossed for a full recovery so we can get back out there chasing birds in the fall.

Labs are noted for eating things that would kill another dog.  Must have been the Springer half that got him!  Hope he recovers from his misdeed!  :chuckle:

That made for an expensive bed!

Mine passed the fingers of a leather glove one time. Luckily she chewed it up before swallowing it.

I saw almost an entire black plastic yard bag come out the back side of a Black and Tan Coon Hound. The part that made me get the dry heave was the helper tugging on it and the way the hound was pushing and heaving...nasty.

Oh yeah there have been a few times scooping that i go "Really that made it through?" He passed one of my whole socks once. I wear size 15's so it was not a small sock. Poor guy just couldn't pass that.

Our vet warned us about memory foam beads when the dogs were younger.  Guess that is really bad stuff for the four legged garbage disposal.  I was so glad when they reached maturity and didn't need to worry.  Though I sure miss having a puppy in the house :'(  Hope he makes it home soon. We will add you to our prayer list!

My buddies lab has had to have surgery twice for eating river rocks, and my golden once ate an entire bag of snickers miniatures (wrappers and all). That was fun to clean up after when those came back around.

I too have been amazed at what I find in piles in the back yard, my fricken lab eats anything!!! My wife's Underwear and toilet paper seem to be his favorite treat.  The worst was when he was decided to pass a rubber during a BBQ with our friends.  We have to make sure all trash is off limits now.  And we try to keep all the laundry away as well but I think he can open drawers now and still get the undies.  It would kill most dogs.

Hope he's back on his feet soon. I wish that was the only thing my dog would eat/chew up. Darn thing has tired to eat an array of thing and we have been fortunate not to have any issues yet. I thought after a certain age they grow out of it, so far that's been wrong  :chuckle:

Last Memorial day weekend my lab decided to pass on the loaf of bread on the table, but instead went for the bottle of gorilla glue next to it. That stuff is horrible. It gets in the stomach and expands. She ended up needing emergency surgery. They took a chunk the size of a potato out of her and she was only 4.5 months old at the time. Didnt even phase her. Pretty sure the only thing it hurt was my wallet.

That Gorilla glue is bad stuff for dogs. goes down soft then expands and sets up like a brick.
Must taste good

We acquired Gimpel the Fool, a one-eyed crooked jawed white German Shepherd, when my mom hit him with her car.  He only hurled once, producing four cans of Play-doh (including all dough of all 4 colors, the cans and the lids) and a pair of black fishnet stockings of unknown origin.  We always wondered which one put him over the edge. 

He used to eat every magnolia flower petal from a huge tree, and all my mom's tulips (to the ground) just before the flowers opened.  One Halloween, we discovered that somebody had stolen our 18lb jack-o' lantern - we thought - until the evidence appeared otherwise.  A full bushel of yellow onions left on the porch - empty the next day.  (You have not smelled a bad dog fart until you've smelled a bushel o' onions dog fart.)  No feces of any kind, including his own, was ever passed up.

However, my most vivid memory was when he swallowed the live cottontail, whole.  We were having lunch at the backyard picnic table, when he trotted up with the back end of a cotton tail hanging out of his mouth.  We knew the bunny was alive, because the back legs were kicking.  My mother got up and called him in that false happy voice that has never fooled any dog, ever.  He began to back away, as she approached he began backing away faster, and started throwing back his head like a gator swallowing a turtle.  This caused the rabbit to begin to kick vigorously, and a muffled shrieking emanated from the dog that was not produced by the dog.  At the climax, my mother was running at him screaning, he was running backward with his head straight up in the air, and then the back legs slid in and he closed his mouth, sat down and cocked his head, looking at her.  My mom was crying, and my brother and I got in trouble for laughing.

Had a Doberman pup that was set to go under the knife, just before surgery he passed a 3" hunk of concrete right on the vet table. Talk about disgusting... saved me a couple grand though so I was stoked. Ironically his name was Rocker...

Same dog was caught chewing on a used tampon in the living room thanksgiving day, what treat that was. Different thanksgiving he ate a whole Kalua cheese cake an apple pie and a pumpkin pie never got sick we just found the empty pie pans.

That can be scary. I left my pup with my little brother for three weeks while I went on vacation. When I got back he looked like he had 3 paws in the grave and had lost 20 lbs. Took him straight to the vet. He ended up needing surgery and took out a couple pieces of plastic and string out of his intestines. We think it was a roll of floss. They said dogs will pass a lot of things but string gets all caught up in there.

While down on the river my buddies dog found a dead, washed-up salmon he decided to investigate. Unfortunately, I didn't see what he was doing right away.  :bdid:

He ended up being ok, but not before suffering from salmon poisoning disease. Close call!

Years ago I planted a number of large pots with small trees and shrubs to fill in the over built deck we inherited with our new home. The following Spring I applied generous toppings of pelletized fish fertilizer.

Yep...........my young brit wolfed that Sh** down! (did the same with his own everyday too)

Problem was he hit the buffet in the evening.............and the buffet hit him sometime before I woke up in the morning. When I went down I was hit by wall of the foulest stench I've ever encountered! The entire 1st floor was thick with rotten fish/crap smell. His piles, actually they were more like pools, were all over the carpet. Took the  better part of the morning to clean up and air out the house.

Needless to say, I never used that fertilizer again!

my old lab was a stinking vacuum.  i was out in the garage one summer changin the sticky fly paper rolls i pulled one out of the ceiling and the thumb tack that held it there hit the ground, dog ate that in one fluid motion. about 10 minutes later i started to reload some shotgun shells while filling the primer tray a primer hit the ground, dog ate that too.  so it had a thumb tack and a live primer in her belly i kept an eye on her all day waiting for a "pop", never did hear it and she wasnt phased a bit.

Our old terrier/standard poodle mix used to chew powercords off of tablelamps and such, still plugged in, I would come home and find 6 inches of cord still hanging in the plug. He also apparently chased our cat, which jumped onto a shelf and knocked our wedding cake topper ornament, an all glass topper. He ate it. Nothing killed him, bowels of steel.

My dog loved how soft our memory foam made our bed, so much so he thought he would try and make it so wherever he laid down it was soft and squishy by eating the memory foam :yike: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Well, my new pup ate a hook this weekend. Had some yarn balls tied up for the weekend and decided she wanted one. I saw line coming out her mouth and grabbed it. It didn't want to give at first, then the line broke - didn't know at the time she had a hook, thought it was just line. That was Saturday night. Late yesterday evening someone she managed to get it turned around the right direction and out it came.

My male Lab has never chewed anything up.
You might ask how I trained for such behavior.
Actually, I had nothing to do with it.  I have a FM CBR who is a month older than my Lab.  Anytime the lab would begin to chew on something, the Chessie would walk over and take the object away, she would not chew on it herself, she just didn't want the lab to have it.  If he tried to take it back, which I only witnessed twice, she would chew on him.
Therefore, I probably have one of the few Labs whos' never chewed anything up.  :tup:
