Rickshaw swami 4,028 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I would like to start by saying I'm not a vet. I have had several dogs over the years to swallow things they shouldn't. From socks,ropes even gravel.If you know that the dog has swallowed something it shouldn't,take a syringe of hydrogen peroxide,(roughly3cc)shoot it down the dogs throat and walk him.He will puke it up within a minute or so.I have saved myself thousands in vet bills over the years. 4 Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 We've done the best part of a grand in the vets this week. One of the five dogs went rogue and broke into a cupboard on the yard and ate rat poison. Also ate 24 eggs, the egg box and part of the sofa. Didn't know which one it was so had to treat all 5 with activated charcoal and vitamin k. Then one of them threw up charcoal liquid and destroyed the carpet. Thought we'd got away with it when following day one of the youngsters went down hill, day off work, back to vets, on drip, all kinds of meds and stayed in all day. Seems ok now though which is good, unlike my wallets. Grand to the vets, new carpet, day off work and we moved house today! It's been an ideal week lol 1 Quote Link to post

Yes your right bud ,I've seen vet put quater washing powder tablet down dogs throat to make it vomit a full box of roses chocolates up and it worked . Lot of people panic and go straight vets and get a large Bill for something they could do at home for nothing . Quote Link to post
