Seriously I just got up and my dog ate an entire bottle of prenatal vitamins!
On the serious side...does anyone think this will hurt him?
But on the funny side....He has also eaten a string of Xmas lights and 3 sticks of butter at one time. I suggest going to the vet for that bc the side effects are messy!
Has your dog eaten anything crazy?
Wow, I'm glad my dog doesn't eat things she's not sposed to! She has a taste for paper towels though
My dog once ate a frog, which I only know because I saw the leg come out the other end! (TMI, I know, but it's too gross not to share!) He also ate a whole (live) starfish at the beach, although at least that didn't seem to cause him any gastrointestinal distress. :)
...I would call the vet about those vitamins, though - just to be on the safe side!
Thanks Colette...I was waiting for them to open and did some reading after I posted. Apparently that level of iron can be toxic so he's at the vet now.
My puppy ate less than 1 ounce of baker's chocolate. I called the vet they instructed me to give her 1 teaspoonful hydrogen peroxide every 5 minutes until she vomited. The first teaspoonful worked really quick (and I was so grossed out!)
Usually she tries to get a hold of paper towels and tear them apart.
My dog eats everything. He was much worse when he was younger though. He loves to rip up dryer sheets, facecloths, toilet paper, etc.
He eats his own poop, just about anything you drop, LOL!
Oh no! Where's redherring? lol
My parents' dog ate a WHOLE BAG of sugar free, individuall wrapped life savers. He was freakin' nutso for hours while he pooped plastic and burned off the sugar.
I would definitely call you vet ASAP to make sure they're not harmful. I worked at a vet a year ago & dogs can be VERY sensitive to certain things. He'll probably wind up having it come out on one end (hopefully) but if you see anything weird like excessive drinking, etc. I would definitely take him in.
Derbybride, I'm glad you got your dog to the vet. I don't even think people understand that vitamins can be toxic in high doses, but definitely could be problematic for a dog! And they do have poison control numbers for dogs, in case you need one after hours (mine at an ant trap one, so we know!).
Lindsay.12.31.2010, our dogs DEFINITELY must be related! Is your's a terrier? Our terrier mix just woke me up this morning by puking an entire acorn on the bed (the size of a kalamata olive), loves to eat poo, rip up any piece of paper he can get his hands on, munch on socks, man it drives me nuts!
Oh man. My dogs love my underwear. The big one likes to lick them, and the little one carries them around and chews them up. It's pretty embarassing when he takes them out in the yard and leaves them there.
Right after we got her, my big dog ate 2 1lb bags of Twizzlers. We were finding them hidden around the house in weird places for months after that! She stashed them everywhere.
Well at least I'm not the only one!
@Stiginkgo--that is very scary. We actually lost a dog last year bc she got into rat poison and we didn't find the empty container until it was too late.
This has really turned out to be a mess! Marshall threw up 4 times before I got him out the door to the vet. So I get home and get all that cleaned up to find that my little dog is doing the butt drag and has poop all over himself and the couch. I bathe him, clean the couch, then realize that he may have eaten some so I try to make him throw up. The pills are purple so its very obvious if they ate them. No luck tho! He refuses to throw up so I just dropped him off at the vet too, just in case.
Man I had such a nice day planned! The things we do for our pets!
Board games, underwear, shoes (lots of shoes!), frisbees don't stand a chance- the most disasterous was him tearing through a large pack of shaving razors (he got them out of a suitcase I'd packed), chewed them to smithereens and I never found a drop of blood. Sure do love him, but he drives me bonkers :)
Oh man, derbybride, rough day! Go steam clean your house! Yikes. My cat does the poop drag, too, and freaks out. He gets booty hair trimmed every month or so. It's pleasant to say the least.
ooooh derbybride, i'm sorry! i totally feel you! my dog eats so much crap (this may be tmi...)--he steals our socks and underwear from the hamper, licks the carpet and ends up pooping or throwing up hair and carpet fuzz, pieces of paper, etc. lately, whenever we go out for a 2nd time, he's been eating holes into this the wicker basket where we keep our shoes--it all passes through and is super gross! and, he doesn't do the poop drag, but he has really long hair so i have to trim the hair around his butt, but sometimes i still have to clean his "poopy butt" after he goes. blech!
My dogs both LOOOOVE undies too, the more "used" the better (which seriously grosses me out since I used to let them lick my face). J will eat absolutely anything, with a special love of paper; R is much more discriminating, yes to carrots, no to pretty much anything else human. Except the one time he ate 5 tacos wrapped in tin foil...
Oooooh, fun- hope they are doing ok!
Our dog are the entire leftovers of a rotisserie chicken. Not my proudest moment as a dog mom. I threw it in the trash, fell asleep and forgot to take it out, and he ate the whole dang thing while we were at work. Thankfully we are marrying a vet, so it turned into take your dog to work week at the clinic, and the techs got a lot of x-ray practice. Basically several days of a very full and unhappy doggie. We were very lucky on that one.
Yeah, and Dan is a fan of cat poop too, so we have all sorts of crazy latches on the bathroom doors so he can't go into the litter boxes.
Oh boy...my beagle...where to begin...
A BJs sized box of hot chocolate powder (required a trip to the doggie ER), My favorite work shirt, our DVD collection (mostly just cases), all the corners of the baseboards around the house, cat puke, cat poop, cat toys, rocks, woodchips, a couple of tape dispensers, a box of tissues...
I asked my husband what I forgot and he said "wouldn't it be easier to list what she hasn't eaten?"
My first pug was so bad. We'd find stuff in his crate (he'd get into people's purses) and eventually it killed him- he ate sugar-free gum which is TOXIC to dogs and put my 4 year old baby puggie into liver failure - there was no saving him :(
Once my sister's softball team had a water balloon fight and he was pooping out the balloons (I guess he ate the busted up ones off the grass?) for days. Nothing shocks you in the AM like multicolored poop!
Well, his coat and nails are gonna look awesome ;) Glad he's at the vet, just to be safe. Keep us posted on both... the things we do...
Very disturbing but my female dog eats my underwear as well. It's really frustrating because that stuff is not cheap! She also decided to eat half of my sandwich when I went upstairs for an hour. She left the lettuce behind though completely uneaten which means she had to pick apart the sandwich to avoid the lettuce. She is irrational so a fear of vegatables makes sense.
Anyone figure out how to get a dog to stop eating underwear? I've tried to set a trap to catch her in the act but she must just know it's a trap or something because I never can catch her.
My dog ate my underwear once. He also ate paper (my homework, not joking), wood, poop, blanket corners, stuffing from a toy, candle, pen, and other random things! And my other dog ate a pound Hershey's chocolate bar, and a bag of one of those big bags of peanutbutter M&M'S. She was fine too! Didn't even get sick!
@lemondrop: I had my FI put a cat door on the closet door where my cat's litter box is. Its too small for the dog to get in.
I ditto fanatic: anyone know how to get the pup to stop eating my undies?
@Missderby: I hope both of your little puppies are ok! Not fun to clean up when they're sick!!
As for getting them to stop eating underwear: You have to put your undies in a hamper. Dogs that do that may as well be eating roast rack of lamb, they think it's delicious, and it's a base instinct causing them to do it so they can't help it (you can't yell at a dog for being hungry!). The next best option is to buy a buzzer or airhorn and leave your undies out. Wait for them to go sniff them then sound the airhorn. Loud noises can cause avoidance in some dogs. Generally though, I just keep my undies out of reach.
My dog loves to eat the cat poop out of the little box. We faced it toward the wall so he couldn't stick his head in (we have a cover on ours). We also put a baby gate up to the laundry room about 6" above the floor so the cats can go in and out as they please, but the dog can't go in.
My parents' dog eats money. All the time. Or anything that smells like my dad's hands. (Important receipts, deeds, gift certificates.) My mom almost KILLED him for some of the things he's eaten, but they mostly learned to put things in drawers and not leave it out where the dog could get to it. Now he's starting to eat the trash, so they had to get a trash can with a lid to keep him out!
@Sapphire- I do put my undies in a hamper. The belgian shepherd will pull them right out and leave them on the floor for the beagle to then chew up.
@fanatic - -hahha i laughed out loud at: she is irrational so a fear of vegetables makes sense.
no dog, but my cat who is very proper has this uncontrollable desire to eat strings. He doesn't want to but you can tell he can't help himself. He has eaten half a bra (puked out the strap thank god), bathsuit strings, tank tops, he goes thru the hamper and our guests' things so i always have to warn people. And they must eat each others' vomit, because I have never seen any in my house, and cats throw up a lot. Pets are gross, and wonderful.
Everything!
My dog eats my underwear (he ingests it, not just chews on it), cutlery, socks, money... He's also destroyed two leather couches. He now goes to doggy daycare while we work :)
fanatic -- I laughed out loud at the image of your dog picking through a sandwich to avoid the lettuce. That is (frustrating for you I imagine but still) totally adorable.
Derbybride -- I hope they are OK!
My FI's family has a farm, so ours are really in touch with their natural hunting urges. Gram's dog hunts groundhogs. All of them LOVE butchering season (we raise our own cows, pigs, and chickens). Once you get over seeing them eat that (and have hair when they void), it takes a lot to see them eat something and be surprised. FI has also taken to making breakfast for the dog in the morning. He will cook her an egg or let her finish his cereal and milk. Apparently, she is fond of strawberry yogurt, though she does not like fruit by itself. Go figure. My dog also loves to chew on sticks, and FI informed me that she passed like a two-inch piece of wood! That worried me; usually, she plays with them until they're little bitty stick shards before she eats them.
My 11yo Shepherd shreds the tissues in the bathroom garbage. I have no idea why.
My 5 month old Shepherd eats anything on the floor (we vacuum a LOT! LOL), but she ate a 'word' from the refrigerator magnet "Make your own saying" about two months ago. Vet said all was OK!
He has eaten cat poop. He used to come out of the bathroom with poop in his mouth like, "Hey guys, look! Awesome right?" Nom noms.
Until we got the cats a box that has a top-entry lid.
He shreds toilet paper and paper towel tubes.
He shreds lettuce.
He's not much of an eater. He is more of a sniffer. He does fancy himself an expert on cat hindquarters.
Mine ate the front cover of my passport recently, and we're going on International vacation next month :(
He had to pull my passport out of the drawer and then ripped the front cover into strips. He actually ate a 1X1 inch square of it.
We're still waiting for the replacement to come in. *Shakes fist at the Wonderdog!*
My dog likes to eat poo from the cat litter box. Don't know why! When we catch her doing it, she looks all ashamed, like she knows it's wrong. It's funny.
our dog ate two condoms once. luckily he pooped them out before he was going to my fi's parent's house for the weekend... that would have been awful if his dad was walking him, picking up his poo, and oh look, a condom!
our condoms now go in a trash can that he can't get to. it just grossed me out too much.
Our extremely well behaved golden retriever kept eating my underwear until I started praising her and handling her more. Then she stopped. Her most recent thing has been kleenex, so we have to keep a lid on the wastebasket.
We don't have a dog, but our cat did the funniest thing last night. I made french fries in the deep fryer and he hopped right up onto the counter after dinner and started licking the oil off the basket. He also likes butter. My husband says it proves that he is a fat cat at heart.
@Derbybride- I hope your dogs are both ok! Sounds very messy!
I don't have a dog living with me but I have cats and my boy cat George eats wood. We have a russian fireplace and bring wood inside and put it in our wood holder...he finds little pieces of wood, leaves, grass and eats them! I was cleaning his litterbox and notices a few pieces of wood. Now we have to be super careful and yell at him when we see him do it so it doesn't hurt him! ugh. The things we do for pets...
My sister's dog was on steroids for part of his life due to an illness. It made him eat everything. He ate a whole bag of makeup, my sister's entire CD collection, $200 my brother had in an envelope as a gift, a whole plate of cupcakes my sister had made to send to me in college, my high school diploma and my high school yearbook. No wonder he has stomach problems in his old age now!
Yeah my dog has figured out how to get into the hamper too unfortunately. Maybe we could register for a nice wicker one with a lid.
Unfortunately, when the weather is bad, my dog likes to tear up the carpet in the house! NOT GOOD! Other than that she is a perfect angel!
