Glad Liam is okay! Sometimes you just gotta wonder why? Like, it doesn't smell all that good, vaseline substances don't taste very good, so why?
I always keep hydrogen peroxide on hand. I had to dose Brodie just Saturday night. I fell asleep on the couch in my robe and pjs with him cuddling me and woke up to the tie from my robe gone - chewed off. The boy LOVES string! He sneaks my shoes out of the closet while I am showering and chews the laces. Sneakers have to be kept behind closed doors and yes, I now have a stash of replacement laces. He will chew jacket straps, boot straps....
So anyway, I measured the other tie and it was 20 inches and I was left with about an inch stub meaning he ingested 19 inches of my tie from my robe! He got dosed, he barfed it all up within minutes. Yes, I dug through the undigested barf, picked out the pieces, laid them out and measured or he would have received a second dose. Thankfully, he chewed it up and swallowed in pieces, they most likely would have made it out fine with the size they were, but goodness, what a disaster if he had swallowed whole!
For the record, it supposedly takes about 4 hours for something to make its way past the stomach. And you can dose 2 times with hydrogen peroxide if needed but if what you are looking for does not come up or vomiting is not induced or you see signs of poisoning or intestinal discomfort, your pet should be rushed to an emergency vet.
I didn’t know about the hydrogen peroxide...how much do you give them? Just in case! lol. Glad Liam is ok and Sandy our silly Cooper pooped out a piece of toy rope that we hadn’t noticed was missing we think it was about 4 inches and intact how he managed to swallow it whole and not choke is amazing to me. lol What these pups don’t get into and stress us Mom’s out!!!

Per the Google God... 1 tsp per 5 lbs of body weight up to a max of 2 tbsps - another says .5 - 1 ml per pound. I dosed Brodie almost 2 1/2 tsps just once and he is about 25 lbs or so - haven't weighed him in a while.
Dogs and poo - years ago, our RIP doxie ate a box of crayola crayons unbeknownst to me. Oh my panic with the colored poo until I realized what I was seeing.
Kids and poo - when my kids were younger, I bought them colored tube yogurts - me the organic, I don't use chemicals, bought these brightly colored yogurts because someone's friend had them, they begged, I had 3 kids under 4 years of age and was just out-numbered. Forgot about it, about went into a massive freakout when one of the kids had this psychedelic looking green poo until I figured out what caused that. No more yogurt tubes!




If you can't get your hands on peroxide, a half teaspoon of table salt to the back of the tongue will quickly do the trick too.
