If anyone is wondering...

===CUT===
Three percent hydrogen peroxide is quite effective in making dogs and cats vomit. You must be sure to use three percent peroxide and not hair coloring strength peroxide. Despite the label indicating that hydrogen peroxide is toxic, it is safe to give to dogs for this purpose. It is considered toxic since it induces vomiting and therefore does not stay in the body.

The appropriate dose of hydrogen peroxide is one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. If you have an oral syringe, one teaspoon equals 5 cc or 5 ml. Once given, walk your dog around or gently shake the stomach area to mix the peroxide with the stomach contents. Vomiting should occur within 15 to 20 minutes. If no vomiting occurs, you can safely repeat the three percent hydrogen peroxide once. If it is still not effective, your dog may need to be seen by a veterinarian for stronger vomiting medication.

I had to do this once when our pup swallowed a giant pointy rusty square nut that I needed to reassemble an ancient wooden gate that I was working on.

I don’t think I’d want my dog barfing a/any ticket back-up after its undergone some of its “digestion process”. Oh wait, I don’t have a dog; I have 3 cats here on the Farm. Well, I wouldn’t want any of those tickets back, either. Let ‘em *ride on through* the animal, and I’ll just watch it on TV!
