When they know it’s not allowed they swallow it faster!
BTW Folks only raw bones. Cooked bones are bad on the digestive system.
When she was a pup she chewed rocks..Tried to eat a 3 inch screw, Chewed glass, could pick up a dime from the floor with her lips.. Ate the temple of my glasses, innumerable kleenex, toilet paper.
She was such a rock chewing addict that she would bring them into the house from outdoors to gnaw at her leisure.
I had my hand well past my wrist down her throat more times than I care to count.
I used to key in on the sound of the click with a foreign body on her teeth.. I'd pry her jaw's open and shake the hell out of her head.. I could avoid going in.
She was paper/tissue eating fool.. He favorite was the cardboard inside the roll ,
In her adulthood she has chewed up a wire brush, a 10 pack of safety razor blades, a turkey. Yes ,the whole thing.
You must not have much “dog experience”. Any dog, especially a puppy will do this. I had a dog swallow a bone to keep the other dogs from getting it but I was right there and was able to get it out of his throat before it went all the way down.
I watched a show I think it was on animal planet that showed the Xray of a dog with a stomach full of tennis balls. Needed surgery.....No more playing ball with that dog....:O)
That one’s good for a belly laugh.....
OMG! LOL!
LOL nice kitty...even if it just ain’t right....
I hope he learned his lesson. But usually dogs will eat whatever they can get ahold of.
Too much chocolate does that to me also.....:O) Never heard it called the sugar trots, but have heard it called the Hershey squirts...
Dogs love trees.
That must have something to do with it...
You are correct.
When we told our vet that Jake had consumed some much chocolate, he said, “That is an unusual dog...”
We had two GSPs that found an unopened can of sardines in plastic wrap. It had been sitting in a bad on our kitchen table for weeks. One of them ate the whole can of sardines including the plastic wrap and the tin can. Luckily he chewed up the tin can so small that it was just little bits of metal that came out. Still tore him up pretty good, but nothing life threatening.
LOL!
He’s a sweet-tempered snuggler who loves his daddy unconditionally...but yes, the boy ain’t all there.
Equally interchangeable.
She liberated the razor blades from the bathroom vanity.
When I discovered them, crunched in the floor, I feared for the integrity of her palate.
Pried her jaws open expecting a river of blood..but not a nick.
She ate the paper that wrapped them and had to crunch them up to get it off, and ate the cardboard box that they came in.
I pieced all the hunks together and accounted for all 10 of them.
I just came home from a party and found my staffie had chewed up all the papers on my desk. Not sure if I should yell at her or say thank you.
I can’t tell you how many times I have reach into a pitbull or a mini-daschund’s mouth to pull out a bone...especially a chicken bone...just before it went down the pipe.
I think pro football players should train by catching a mini-daschund with a chicken leg in its mouth!
