Title: Another poison
Post by: one more 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.

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.

Post by: BD1 on February 03, 2021, 07:58:34 PM: 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:

Post by: Stein on February 15, 2021, 08:07:18 AM: 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.
