Get well soon Bandit

"What kind of pervert gets their jollies off playing with dog shit? "

Poor pup, hope it passes.....

Been there, cost us 4k to remove a piece of kong toy from our Koki boy years ago. He was also only a year old, easy decision....

I love dogs, but you gotta admit, sometimes they ain't all that bright.

I hope he drops a nice Biden soon and you get to take him home today.

Sorry to hear man. My pup got sick recently and we still don’t know what caused it but after a round of some probiotics she bounced back pretty quick. It is nice to have a good vet close by.

The vet just called. Another set of x-rays was done. Foreign material still exists, and doesn't seem to have moved. However, Bandit is in good spirits, and they have given him some food. So far, he's kept it down, which is good news.

Unless I hear anything more, we'll go pick him up at 3:00pm today. Hopefully, he will have passed a Biden before then.

Thanks all for the well wishes.

Thanks for the update, sorry that Bandit isn't up to his norm. Tell him to get well soon!

My dog would eat the tinsel/garland off of the Christmas tree....later; the land mines were easily identified by gold and silver glistening in the sun.

Glad he's doing good and I hope he passes a Biden soon too! lol

One night he was choking, and he had a ribbon from presents hanging out is throat. Slowly pulled it out..
Bandit will be fine, at least he is being cared for at a Vet now.

Similar, but not lucky enough for her to poop out or puke out the 1" wide ribbon.
Small kitty ~ 6lbs. 2 y/o at the time. Blocked intestines. Couldn't eat or drink, just immediately
puked everything up.
SO took her to the local Veterinarian, who opened up her intestines.
Took out a 1 ft long string of the ribbon, all compressed into a 6" long strip.
The Vet gave us the undigested ribbon in a sandwich baggy $$$.
Wife never left her wrapping supplies out in the open after that.
She's still with me. 14 y/o now.



Hoping all goes well for The Bandit.

I was watching one of mine take a dump a few years back and she was struggling to pass something. When she finally did I went out and looked at her poop. You know those really small stretchy gloves some women have? She ate one my wife had left in her pocket with some dog treats.

When I woke up this morning, he jumped up on the bed and started vomiting. Took the pups out for their morning walk, and while he did his business, he also barfed. Gave him his treat for going potty outside, and he barfed. Gave him his breakfast a couple of hours later, and he barfed. After a few hours, the wife made him a bland diet of chicken and rice, and, he barfed.

Called the hospital, got an 8:00 appointment, and took him there. The doc took an x-ray and found some metallic objects inside. So, Bandit is there overnight.

Hope he's going to be able to pass whatever those objects are, and that he won't require surgery.

So sorry you’re going through this, I sometimes feel like these doggos will send us to an early grave with worry

The Princess last week managed to somehow cut/hurt her paw, have had to clean/care for it and put on the inflatable collar so she won’t make things worse by biting/licking…and no neighborhood walks for another week or so. Not limping anymore and already looks like it is healing well.

Sadie joins me in sending well wishes, good vibes, thoughts, and prayers.

Hope your pup is ok

On a lighter note, one of our dogs goes out in the backyard and eats dog shit. I'm not kidding. We tried all sorts of things to break her of it, but no luck. This morning I let them in from their morning potty break and after about 15 minutes, she pukes up a dog turd on the carpet with a pool of diarrhea looking stuff. Not pleasant while I was trying drink coffee and read the paper before work

I'm only laughing because Harley-Belle eats dog shit too.

BTW, Bandit it is now home. No surgery, but we'll have to get him back on his normal schedule, and give him some pills for the next 10 days. Hopefully he will be able to pass whatever it was he ate. Thus far, he has been pretty good at pooping out the foreign material. We'll see.

[Big bob]

I had a dog that was a shit eater. I would see it coming on our walks and tell him no. You could see it in his eyes that he was going to grab it and go. It was a game to him. So I went turd hunting without him. I live in the country so there is a nice selection. I dumped them in his bowl the look he gave me was priceless. After that I would ignore him while walking and he never ate another turd.

[ZipZap]

Good deal. Dogs just eat stuff. We were out to dinner years ago and came home to find one of those am/fm radios that you strapped to your arm when working out, along with those skinny headphones destroyed on the carpet by the basset hound. Wasn't for a few days until she shit a near-perfect AA battery in the backyard.

Just last night, one of the dogs was hanging out with me in the workroom while I was building a new RC buggy. I knew immediately he had picked something up because he went over and sat by the door, followed by some mouth noises. I checked inventory pretty quick and found I was short one shock bladder. It's a 16mm dia. piece of soft rubber. As I went over to him to get him to let loose, the little prick just swallowed it. I'm sure it's not going to cause any issues, but it's just the idea of him scarfing up anything on the floor. At least they don't chew shoes...

Good luck. I'm sure Bandit will be fine. Get him some fiber

Good news. Hope the Bandit stays ok.
