Title: What has your Lab eaten??
Post by: duchunter on November 14, 2013, 09:22:45 PM: I have a 11 month Blk. Lab and he is a garbage hound................ so last week I was taking him over to the daycare place and Raven was riding up front with me, just as we where pulling into the doggie daycare he gets this funny look on his face and then starts throwing up, I quickly moved his head so it the puke would miss my seat and land on my tough mat on the front floor, well something starts coming out of his mouth and he is gaging and puking so I grab hold of this nasty smelling thing and notice it is one of my socks, I look at my pup and he is like I feel better lets go play!! I take him in and told the people there that he might need some water and to keep an eye on him and call if he starts acting funny, so the rest of the week he seems ok and we go on his first hunting trip over the weekend, fast forward to last night we feed him and he did not eat all of his food then in the morning I let him out and he is having a tough time taking a dump, I got home from work and he had puke 3 or 4 times in his kennel, so a call to the vet and off we go, Vet x-rays him and said something looked out of place in his intestines and was going to send the X-rays out to another Doctor for a second opinion, she then gives him a litter of fluids as he was dehydrated a little bit, we go home and he wants to play, 1 hour later he wants out to go to the bathroom and starts to take a dump and is having trouble so I go grab a flash light to see what is going on and next thing I see is he is now crapping the other sock out!!! So now I am hoping we will not have any surgery since he passed the 2nd sock!! My wife and I think he must have got a clean pair of my socks that where rolled up and to them outside and ate them, heck I could have washed them and used them again................... So we are felling lucky tonight!
Keep and eye on your pup at all times..........

The list is long. Very long.
- Chewed the electrical wires to my boat trailer 3 times. I had to rewire it.
- Pulled the kennel panels apart several times.
- Got out and got a free ride to police department then to Humane Society before I knew they were gone. Cost me $400.
- Chewed through several hoses.
- Handle off of water faucet.
- Lots of kids toys and Tonka truck wheels.
- Many fence panels.
- All the plants, shrubs and trees in back yard.
- Dozen floating goose decoy heads.
- Swallowed a 6 oz lead decoy weight. $600+ vet bill.
- Knocked my Browning BPS in the river where it was about 40'. That cost me about $525.
A few to mention.

Post by: pianoman9701 on November 15, 2013, 07:11:34 AM: An old hunting buddy of mine had a cool lab from Sunnyview in Eugene. That was the most awesome animal except for getting into the garbage. We were out after birds one morning at a local release site and the dog gets out of the truck, starts down the trail, goes to take that first dump and is squatting for like 5 minutes. My buddy goes and there's a piece of film wrap part way in and out of him. Frikkin nuts!

You are lucky. A friend of mine is a veterinary surgeon and he tells me basic sock removal surgery starts at about $4K. He does a lot of them.

Post by: Netminder01 on November 15, 2013, 07:55:06 AM: I see expensive vet trips in your future! It seems once a lab gets into chewing or eating garbage, shoes, socks, doors or rocks you're in store for a long life if making sure you're paying attention to your dog and what's around him to eat. Fortunately, my lab is the complete opposite - she won't touch piece of hot pizza unless I tell her and has never once chewed anything other than her toys.

I have kept her on a raw diet all 7 years I've owned her and make sure to keep her active. The raw diet helps so much with her coat and overall health but I doubt I could point her lack of chewing on other things to her diet; who knows.

The worst my dog ate was a Kabob. He was :drool: behind me while coming back from the BBQ and one fell off a plate and he swallowed the whole 12' chicken kabob on wooden stick in one gulp. Don't know how the hell he got it down but was wagging his tail like nothing happened.

Took him to vet and they knocked him out and were able to remove it without surgery (cost about $1200 though). I picked him up about two hours later and she handed me the Kabob with the chicken still on it. :chuckle:

My lab/gsp mix likes to eat sticks. Thankfully not clothing, but she did eat a scrabble game when she was 3 months or so old though

I have male Choc. English Lab and Female GSP. Was wondering how the cross breed is. Your thoughts?

Post by: 92xj on November 15, 2013, 08:47:07 AM: Lab - nothing, knock on wood.
Airedale - A whole catfish, 2.5 lber, one bite, gone. I thought that was going to be an issue for her sooner than later, it wasnt.
Next was a 1 lb block on cheese followed by a 5 lb bag of grits. 3 days plugged up and swollen like a road kill deer in the summer followed by a yard of white and yellow for 2 straight days as it shot out of her. O joy.

Post by: tmike on November 20, 2013, 05:08:19 PM: A couple days ago my 2 labs ate the carcass of an 18 lb Turkey. Not a bone to be found. The pan looked like it just came out of the dishwasher :bdid:
