Guest quinoa Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Rocket ate a bunch of banannas this evening - just the insides, while somehow avoidig the peels. (my husband saw the devastation, i did not) Any ideas what to expect tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) My guess either nothing or a whole lot of big D. I know banana's can be binding for some people, don't know if it works the same way for dogs though.

buddibear Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Probably nothing worse than my standard poodle eating a whole Archetectural Digest Mag. We found technicolor poop around the hood for a few days. Bananas, I would carry a stack of paper plates and it won't be a picnic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trihounds Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Jeez...mine won't touch fruit to save their lives! I don't think you'd have any big issues, but that's a guess. You may have discovered a healthy treat inthe process (in moderation, of course!). Now sure what a canine's potassium needs are?!

Guest BrianRke Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think what you will have to go through will be far worse than what the dog goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunset123 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Gas. The one and only time that I let Arrisa have a whole banana I had to aim a fan at her bed while we slept so I wouldn't suffocate in my bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stripeyfan Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Kelly has IBD and can eat a whole banana without any ill effects... not sure about a whole bunch though! I expect Rocket'll be ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm on a vegan dog yahoo group where at least one owner feeds his dogs *primarily* on bananas! I'm not advocating that (at all), just sayin' it probably won't hurt yours. Good luck to you both!

mychip1 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Good luck!!! I am amazed that Rocket was able to peel them....hmph...and they say that we are superior because of our opposable thumbs.....Apparently, the hounds have adapted.

Neighsayer Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Mickey did that, but he also ate the skins on two of them. Nothing unusual happened and he still loves them. I now know that I have to hide them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri_d Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Rocket ate a bunch of banannas this evening - just the insides, while somehow avoidig the peels. (my husband saw the devastation, i did not) Any ideas what to expect tomorrow? within a few weeks of bringing win home he ate a whole bunch of banannas, peels and all - left the stems i phoned the vet frantic who laughed and said he would have gas, maybe big d and the peels may come out in-tact (ewww) but nothing - nope - nada - gas was about as bad as usual, no d and didn't see a thing - it's probably been 5 years ago, so i'm saying you're just fine.

Guest longdoglady Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Anna ate four with no ill effects (she managed to peel hers too) but bananas are now stored above head height and rationed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sheila Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I would imagine the worst that will happen might be some tummy upset and poop issues. Also a bit off topic but I knew a guy whose dog ate a banana peel out of the garbage. The next day the dog pooped the whole intact peel. I couldn't resist asking him, 'When your dog 'peels out' like that, does it leave skid marks?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
