Guest ChasesMum Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Lots of prayers! Hopefully we get an update soon. The first year we had her, Chase ate 2.5lbs (yep!) of milk chocolate with almonds while we were at a movie, and we attempted the peroxide but were unsucessful, so the evet induced vommitting and shockingly she had no ill effects. They monitored her overnight and watched her pancreatic enzymes but they were fine - apparently that was their main concern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vtmom Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sorry to have kept everyone in suspense. Here is the update on how things are with Brooke. We finally found an EV that was open and would agree to take a credit card payment over the phone from my MIL who was on a business trip in NYC. It was a 45 minute drive through a seedy part of town with lots of drunks on the road and three tired grumpy kids and a sick nervous dog. We made it safely there. We got Brooke in a room. My daughter started throwing up along with Brooke, that was fun. Brooke seemed ok but her heart rate was high so she got a doggy EKG which showed she was ok just on a major sugar rush. She was given an anti-vomit shot which she hated. We heard her bellowing and screaming like mad in the back room. They said she was quite the drama queen. After that they gave her activated charcoal and sent us on our way with a bottle of pills to counter act the side effects that would soon be coming from her back side. We got home around 5am and went to bed. When we were sleeping the charcoal came through Brooke's system and made quite the mess but she was ok so that was just fine with me It is now several days later and she is fine. She is eating normally and she wants to play a little. Thank you all for your concern and care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LindsaySF Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I only just saw this thread. So glad she is ok! Keep some hydrogen peroxide on hand. If one of the doggies eats something bad in the future, and you catch it within the first few hours, you can give it to them to make them vomit. If you can't get it down their throat straight, add the peroxide to a bowl with bread and peanut butter. The peanut butter makes them eat it, and the bread coats their tummy so the peroxide isn't as harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante2zoe Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 If it helps, the one time one of my grey's got into chocolate kisses, I did the hydrogen peroxide trick and tossed him outside. My son went out with him. As soon as Dante started to yack up the colorful chocolate, my son leaned over and yacked in sympathy! It was a sight to behold. Thank goodness it was below freezing that night - that was a fun clean up job! I am glad to hear that Brooke and your child are both better!

Guest brandi007 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I am so sorry about Miss Foxy. Thanks for the post, it made me laugh and cry. Foxy was actually a boy but had a girly name - when the vet sent his condolences card it was filled with sayings like "She was a really great dog." Silly guy.

ElizabethGPAPS Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I never knew that was how Foxy died. How awful! Perhaps you would consider posting a yearly cautionary thread for people who might not think that a single bag of chocolate chips is something they should really treat as dog poison. Like sliding glass doors, sometimes it's the every day items that we don't even think about that pose the biggest hazards. People need to know about these dangers and be reminded - it saves lives. In fact...I wonder if it would be too macabre to start a thread about hounds who have been killed or seriously injured in their own homes, so that others can try to prevent the same thing from happening. For instance, I placed a GH who later died after chewing on someone's asthma inhaler. My own dog Simon was very seriously injured right after I adopted him when he collided with a nail sticking out of the fence - I didn't know it was there but I hadn't looked for it either. He lost part of his thigh. Glad Brooke's okay!
