My dog ate poison

[Breakaway500]

Xylitol. He grabbed some low hanging lemon cookies that I misplaced. My fault. I realized it 15 minutes after he gobbled them.
Tried to make him puke by putting my finger down his throat but that didn't work, hurt like hell and only made him spooked.

Then I went online and read about hydrogen peroxide. 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of dog so 6 teaspoons. Repeat every 10 mins till fog barfs. But only do it if absolutely necessary as things can go wrong. Swell.

I decide to call the wife as she's watching her sick 89 yr old mom in the chity.

Do it, she says.

How?

Half and half in a bowl and mix the peroxide in.

Sounds easier and safer than a turkey baster or syringe!

I mix up the potion. Al consumes it. I'm watching the clock.

About 10 minutes in he starts acting like he's gonna pop.

Yep! Good pile.

Never thought I would be so happy about a pile of puke.

That was about 3 hrs ago and he seems fine.

Dodged a bullet.

Glad your dog's okay.

Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that you used to bake cookies that is okay for people but poison for dogs?

 

[Breakaway500]

Yes. Xylitol is deadly to dogs. I'll make sure it never comes on my property again. Live and learn.

Sometimes dogs will be dogs!

Bout 2 yrs ago made a mince meat pie for the holidays. It has a lot of raisins in it. Set it on back of counter top after it cooled off. Went to bathroom and came back to discover Zelda had consumed the middle of the pie. She was very pleased with herself, but not after having stomach pumped, overnight at vet and activated carbon ingestion.

A dirty *** poisoned my beautiful Doberman puppy who was only eight months old and just starting to get neat, smart as a whip, never layed a hand on her just say "Bad Girl" and she would slink off and stay away for fifteen minutes or so and then come around to see if the coast was clear. I got reacquainted with an old girlfriend that had a jealous dangerous boyfriend, they came over to my house to sell me some good weed, which was his main deal. She loved my dog and asked if she could have her, I told her "Honey , she's all I got." The next day I came home from work and found my dog laying on her side in agony in her large dog run. She waited til I got in the run and had her in my arms before she gave a big sigh and died, broke my heart. I asked the neighbors if they saw anything weird, the kid said he saw a long haired native dude in the back yard near the dog run. She trusted everyone and ate the treat he gave her that was laced with rat poison, jealous ***.
Years later I ran into her, she wanted to get together for coffee. We talked for a while and I asked her "I think your old boyfriend poisoned my dog." She said "He bragged about poisoning your dog." I asked her "Where is that *** today?" She said "He was killed in a drug deal in Seattle a couple years ago." I told her "I hope he was gut shot." She was a beautiful girl with a weak personality, we were in love once but I knew she was too much work for this old boy.

So glad it worked out for you and HIM, especially. Angel has eaten baby rabbits' heads, baby robins, a half-grown cat's tail, but nothing poisonous. ( how she caught that cat I'll never know.) She had a Garter snake corned but she didn't like it striking at her!
Any food on the counter top belongs to the dog, if you don't catch her. My last Weim ate better than me when the Steelers were playing!

Too bad the fentanyl was not around back then. You know what needed to be done…

Dodged a bullet.

And am so glad he was saved!

hate to say but i would be signing up for free rent, food and health care. Zelda is the main reason am still going.

Ya know, kinman, the more I think about that the more it just ticks me off. I'm 67 now so pounding the facial features off someone isn't part of my personality anymore. That's what tools are for…or money. Sounds like Karma got him. I don't care about the circumstances that led to the loss of your Dobey. Got a problem with me, then fine. Leave the poor dog alone. Or cat, or pet bird, or even a danged turtle.
I'm much better now.
Peace, Jeff T.

Three hots & a cot!

 

[dodgecharger]

Breakaway I'm sure glad your dog is ok now. He's sure a sweet looking dog.

 

[dodgecharger]

Kinman there's a special place in Hell for that dirt bag that poisoned your pup. I hope he spends eternity in that place.

 

[lihpster]

Yeah, like a nice 3 pound hammer. Or some hickory. Nothing like a nice piece of hickory.

 

[jeffrefrig]

Nothing like a nice piece of hickory.

Funny you should mention that! Before I got into guns, well, whatever...

 

[jeffrefrig]

I'm sorry, but some things need to be said. We like guns and we like cats & dogs. I don't mean to be mean or heartless, but sometimes...

 

[lihpster]

I totally understand how a person could become homicidal after the killing of a pet. They're family, after all.

One reason I think people have such strong emotions when it happens to other's pets, is that killing a defenseless, loving animal for no reason is a danger sign. We see it and we know it's aberrant behavior. I think it's hind brain stuff, survival instinct.

Serial killers often start out murdering pets and wild critters, before moving up to people. I think when we see it, the lizard that lives inside you says, "That person is extremely dangerous. They should be gotten rid of to protect the community."

 

[petepeterson]

This thread got heavy fast.
Glad the pooch is OK. Good on you to be on top of it.

I could have a blood infection and fever of 104 and I take tylenol and go to work, but when my dog seems just a little "off," I worry myself into an ulcer.

Sorry, but I definitely would have let her know, right then and there, that SHE was dead to me, and I would have gotten up and left! I mean, how can she hear something like that, and do nothing?

There is nothing as dangerous as a jealous former husband or boyfriend.

 

[StrawHat]

There are a variety of common items that are poisons to dogs. Grapes, onions, many flowers and many common chemicals that are in our food. Keep a fresh, unopened bottle of peroxide on hand. It does not take much. Mix with sour cream, half and half, ice cream or even squirt it in the mouth with a syringe.
