Polkey 70 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Happy new year all. after your thoughts if you would??? Monday night dog eat most of a xmas pud (a very big one) we thought was out of reach. Didn't feed him in the morning as it was a big pud and thought he had had more than enough. Went for a 3 hour walk in the arvo and decided he must of run off the pud so fed him when we got back and with in a couple of hours he chucked the lot back up, fed him this morning and the same again. His sh!t is fine, I thought he would have the runs but he don't, still done one this morning and given the colour and nuts in it you could pour brandy on it and light it up. He is fine in him self just can't keep his food down ?????????????????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willum 89 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cake and Mince Pies These Christmas fancies are bad for dogs for a number of reasons: Firstly - they are jam-packed full of current raisins and sultanas. These are all a variation on the ‘grape’ and as such have the same serious health risks. It is common for them to ingest far more ‘grapes’ in this form than they would fresh grapes because there are so many packed into these cakes and they are smaller. Secondly - they are full of fat, suet etc which can often give them severe stomach troubles, vomiting etc but also, more worryingly high fat meals are one of the high risk factors leading to pancreatitis. This can be a very serious and costly disease to treat. Thirdly – they are usually laced with large amounts of alcohol which can cause many of the symptoms of intoxication seen in people.

Polkey 70 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Cheers for the replies, will take him and get him checked over and keep fingers crossed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polkey 70 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just spoke to my vet, they don't seem to worried, suggested that I take him tomorrow for a check over. Said that the fact he is ok in him self and still charging around and drinking loads would suggest its just the richness that has caused the problem rather than any toxic effects and just to feed small amounts of the usual boield chicken and rice.

tote 854 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd have vomited the dog with washing soda crystals at the time, would've brought the xmas pud up right away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polkey 70 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Had I any idea of the potential problems then I would of made him chuck it up. Spent all day reading about it, some mixed opinions about grapes/raisins, etc but either way he's going in tomorrow just to get him checked over to be safe. Fingers crossed the vet is right and its all passed through by now and the richness is what's unsettled his stomach resulting in food coming back up. Bracken Boy, it was put right out the way, god knows how he got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not having a go bud just i was told many years ago about the lurchers being the best of thieves. Sometimes 99% safe aint enough with these guys. Hope all settles soon.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
