EllenEveBaz Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I came home today to find the empty packaging for the dog-training clicker on the floor and no clicker. Will have to search the house and yard, and monitor Milo's input and output. Sigh. Do I cross post this in Food and Dietary, or Health and Medical?

Feisty49 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Oyyyy. LOL Hope it passes easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitycake Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I work in a library and we've had many dog training books come back chewed, but eating a clicker is a new one. I guess it must have smelled at least a little like training treats! I'll have to keep that in mind if I should leave ours out.... I hope all passes without an issue. (Did you check his teeth?

Houndtime Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Maybe you're dog can clicker train himself. If it is small enough, he should pass it.

Guest Lillypad Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 There is a little irony in this dilemma. Never-the-less I share your concerns, hope he passes the clicker without any problems. Be sure to keep us up-dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullysmum Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Well I've heard some feeble excuses for not doing your training......seriously, I too hope it passes without incident.

Brandiandwe Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I can't help thinking of the TV commercial where the puppy ate the car alarm fob and beeped. I've not seen the ad, but all I can imagine is a 'click' every time he sits down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I hope he's OK! I admit I laughed when I saw the title, but there's a large piece of metal inside clickers. Maybe he spat that bit out.

EllenEveBaz Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 No sign of the clicker. Milo is eating and pooping normally, so maybe it's somewhere in the yard.

cleptogrey Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 sweep up carefully- from what i have noticed the plastic parts are what dogs seem to like. emily ate the straps of her muzzle- i freaked, found the buckle behind the crate. feed her soft white bread soaked in lots of the oil to help it pass. (did that for the same dog who ate 1/2 of an ace bandage- it worked).the bread will go around the small metal tongue of the clipper if it's inside your pup and the oil will lubricate the intestines and colon. i guess she wanted to mark a behavior and repeat it?

I've never found it yet. Stuff can stay in dogs' stomachs for a surprisingly long time (ask me how I know this ). You may see it yet. I have to say, every time I see the title of this thread I crack up. Obviously I hope Milo has no issues, but something about it being a clicker just amuses me.

Guest OPointyDog Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Stuff can stay in dogs' stomachs for a surprisingly long time (ask me how I know this ). You may see it yet. Yes, we have experience with that, too. Mika once chewed the ears off a toy rabbit, and some of the ears passed through, but then eight days later he threw the rest up. And then tried to eat them again. Hope the clicker makes an appearance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullysmum Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) After several months I'm still waiting to see if the tyre /wheel from a Lego truck is ever going to make its way through Chancey. I've never found it yet. Does that mean that you have been carefully examining all of his poops for several months? . You need to get yourself a hobby Miss Sadi ate a Chinese water chestnut that I dropped, she obviously swallowed it whole and was unable , or unwilling to digest it because it made a re-entry four days later.....she barfed it up at about three in the morning, I was too tired to go and clear it up straight away (it was in our unused spare bedroom) and when I eventually got round to clearing it up I thought that it was a jaundiced eyeball . I had quite forgotten what she had eaten four days earlier Hopefully the clicker has "passed" unnoticed (without so much as a click ) Edited August 6, 2014 by scullysmum Quote <p>"One day I hope to be the person my dog thinks I am"Sadi's Pet Pages Sadi's Greyhound Data PageMulder1/9/95-21/3/04 Scully1/9/95-16/2/05Sadi 7/4/99 - 23/6/13 CroftviewRGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
