Eating 2 Sticks Of Butter

[buddibear]

Took the 2 greys on the pm walk. Left the Dane and Standard Poo in the house. When I returned not 3 min around the block in 39 degree Florida sunshine, 2 sticks of butter left out for oatmeal cookie GONE. I understand turkey skin ,gravies and fat holiday foods can be deadly for greyhounds with pancreatitis ?What can I expect knowing 100 pound dog probably ate it all?

You can induce vomiting, because it is really fatty. I just pour a couple mouthfuls of hydrogen peroxide down their mouths (a bunch will leak out which is fine). Make sure you do that outside because it can work very quickly. Otherwise, just keep a good watch on the pups. I'm sure you will get major diarrhea if you don't induce vomiting, so just beware.

yup, it'll be stinky and runny. But shouldn't hurt him.

[Guest Swifthounds]

You may see some loose stools or you may see nothing. It depends on the dog and how much fat and variety it's accustomed to eating.

Sounds like he'll get a good cleaning out, but I'm sure he will be fine

When my 50 pound golden ate a stick of butter, nothing happened

Riley's done that before (only 1 stick though) at my friend's house ... and tried again over Christmas. No reaction at all (which was amazing, because Riley's my sensitive tummy boy) ...

 

good luck with the next 24 hours.

We used to have to give our springer her worm pills in butter... the only way to get them down her! She also ate anything and everything she could get her paws on (the deader and stinkier the better) and the only thing that ever made her sick was when she found sun-dried seagulls on the beach on vacation! Mind you Springers are notorious for their cast-iron stomachs, but unless either of your dogs have sensitive tummies I reckon they'll be fine.

I think it will just grease the runway .....if you know what I mean!
