Our retirever ate a whole packet of my Mums HRT tablets when I was a kid. The hormones made her dog boobs grow really big. I thought it was hilarious. Will never forget the conversation my dad had with the vet though..
.. [i]if I knew that would happen I would have had the wife taking these things years ago..[/i]
Now she's OK, can I just say she must have bloody dextrous paws to open them child-proof lids!!!
Great news. More pics please. If you post one from the Vets it will get pretty dusty I imagine.
By the way do you live in a Bungalow. We where a strictly no dog upstairs house. Possibly too late now to train her for that.
Ex-BIL Lab ate a load of dry sheep nuts (dried food meant to be rehydrated before feeding to sheep) problem was they sucked all the water out of her body so she couodn't pass them and of course making her very poorly. Vet had to give her enough water to pass them but not enough so they would expand and burst her stomach killing her. Funny story after she had survived but not before.
Ted (my ESS) did a similar thing with a beef bone from the butcher's. Ate the whole thing in one sitting and looked really pleased with himself all day. He wasn't so happy the next day when he had to pass it.
I swear the neighbours thought I was mistreating him as he howled trying to pass a load of chewed calcium and cartilage. The poor lad's ring must have been stretched almost to breaking point.
He didn't learn. They never do.
Top news!
He didn't learn. They never do.
He learnt to chew it better next time
Daisy learnt that Cafine tablets give you a big rush and as a bonus you get to spend a couple of nights in a special dog hotel after which you get extra cuddles. Winner 🙂
Anyway never mind the dogs my 5yo first born drank a whole bottle of Amoxicillen - we learnt she was a good climber, had sound logic - she felt ill and that medicine is what will make me better, you can't od on antibiotics

The charcoal has been making a reappearance, she now has colour coordinated poos.
Interesting point above about child proof lids, wonder if it would have helped prevent this, and if tablets of that nature should be in child proof containers. Sports direct Lonsdale branded shite.
So glad she is ok OP!
Double post!
My brother in law had a golden lab as a drugs dog in the army... He could open up metal fire hose connectors they had to use as training aids.... Would chew through the plastic ones without a problem.... Glad yours is good now...
Just home and first check of STW, great news. Glad she made a full recovery and there should be no lasting damage either.
Labs will eat anything, child proof containers are no deterrent, I have had one eat its entire months supply of NSAIDS (not a good idea!) because they were tasty flavour ones. They were stored in a child proof container on top of the kitchen work top but he thought they were very tasty so chewed the bottle up and ate the lot.
Numerous people have child locks on their fridges solely because the dog will otherwise break in and eat everything.
Gotta love em.
Aw she's lovely (although rather alarmingly her expression in that last pic says 'mmm that camera looks tasty!') - she'll have an interesting tale to tell the other dogs at the park 🙂
The good news is that charcoal reduces dog flatulence so at least you might have a low odour couple of days. Glad the pup is ok though! 🙂
Labs genetic desire to eat [i]everything[/i] is one reason why guide dogs are usually lab/retriever cross, it helps reduce the eating obsession, but retains enough that it makes them very easy to train: will do [i]anything[/i] for food! 😀
