Dog ate chocolate.

[jeff7b9]

I have a 1 year old mutt a doodle, Lucy.
Sweet girl.





11 year old daughter snuck some birthday party gift bag of a few mini chocolates and a lollipop to her bedroom.

Looks like the dog got a hersheys dark, a krackle and a lollipop.

Having watched Louis CKs bit on his dog eating chocolate, I knew what to do.



It was unfortunate to see how useless my wife is in a crisis. She just panics, freaks out, over reacts and makes bad decisions.
I love the woman.
But she sucks in a crisis.

Wife insisted on taking the dog to vet (which is fine, but I know I would have been a million times more calm handling the situation.)

Dog puked in my truck on the way to vet.
(So hydrogen peroxide I gave the dog did its job)

Vet says she should be fine since she got everything out of her system quickly.


Anyone want to take a guess what a trip to the vet at almost midnight on Saturday is gonna run me?

I think it was $900 around 20 years ago when my golden mutt Layla ate a Christmas ornament. But she needed x-rays. This visit was theoretically much more routine.

It will survive. But you are a shit dog owner, for letting your dog eat chocolate.

My dogs eat chocolate all the time. they love it

Dog will be fine. Lesson learned.

Vet will do the same thing you would have, let the dog puke.

Glad your dog is okay.

Well, that's why your job as the man is to be stable in the midst of an emergency and other such high stress situations. Speaks to the importance of keeping your cool. Imagine now, if you both were freaking out.

Will never forget when my wife lit the toaster oven on fire. Was sleeping in on a day off. Woke up to her rocking my shoulder violently and yelling "THERES A FIRE"

I sprint out of bed thinking we're fucked in some sort of massive fire scenario. See the toaster oven on fire, she got a piece of bread or something stuck under the bottom of it, which caught some other pieces of burnt shit as well. Was a decent little fire actually. Laughed, knocked it into the sink and watched it fizzle out with a cup of water nearby and mini extinguisher we have.

Yeah the vet would pretty much make it puke. Anything else will be bells and whistles for your bill.

I know of a couple of incidents where my friend's dog at a whole block of chocolate. He was sick for a little while then fine.

Its not like the dog ate round up. My mother's dog once at a rat bait. The vet made him puke and he was fine. Getting it early is the key.

Good on you for being on the ball though.

Jeez. Glad to hear you laughed it off and it didn't wind up being serious, I think if I was woken up to someone flipping out like that it'd be super unpleasant.

My Mother gave her English Bulldog people food and chocolate. Poor thing was so out of shape and had to be put down at the age of 5.

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I'm sorry to hear that.

You better be sorry. I don't want to EVER hear you post a story about how you let your dog eat chocolate ever again. You hear me?

I just walked back to bed after dealing with it. What is there to get mad about? They are not like you or I, they just freak out, scream, cry etc when things get dangerous (At least in their mind of threat level)

Apparently grapes are also toxic for dogs. Seems so random what is and isn't.

My dog ate a 100mg thc chocolate bar. Not only was she super high she was poisoned. I took her to emergency vet and they gave her fluids. Don’t know if this is helpful.
