Even things that aren't toxic to pets can cause problems.<br /><br />Back in the day, my rescued Greyhound ate a pound of prunes and a half a bar of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. That was the same night that the shepherd/Husky mix ate an entire bag of vanilla protein powder. How they got to all that stuff, I'll never be sure, but I think the shepherd mix told the Ghound to take things down off of the high shelf.<br /><br />Anyway, when the vet finished laughing, she told me to feed the shepherd Metamucil and mineral oil, leave the Greyhound alone, and put 'em both outside for a few days. <br /><br />A few years later, the Ghound got into the trash and cut his tongue on a can of refried beans. That was more dramatic (sprays of blood everywhere! Flipping-out six-foot-tall dog!) but less amusing.<br /><br />Some animals seem determined, if not to kill themselves, to at least provide good blog fodder.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520599099436383317noreply@blogger.com
