    Josie's a lab, not a hooman kid. I hope she'll be okay, drinking a lot is understandable, I'd just keep an eye on her for the next day or so, okay? I know Labs THINK they are vacuum cleaners, but not everything's safe to ingest, silly dog!

    I would call the vet. I have experience in this because my Lab Casey has eaten many things over the years that she shouldn't have. When I call my vet they say, "what has Casey eaten now". Actually, now that she is a senior citizen, she doesn't do it as much. One time she ate 7 Chocolate Choclate Chip muffins!!! The kids had left the bag on the stove within paws reach. I was horrified. The vet said with her size she would be okay. She never got sick or anytyhing. Good luck. Hope yours is okay.

    Ah, see I always load up the pages under 'New Posts' so the catagories are always messed up. I didn't realize this was a dog not a child. I'd still think the same thing would apply though for electrolytes and kidneys.

    I hope Josie is ok.

    Audrey, I think a big problem might be that she'll retain water with the salt. It could be harmful. I would call the vet. Best wishes that all is ok.

    I definitely remember you and I was just thinking about you. Miss you!!


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Hey Audrey! I've missed you and the pups and kitties. Any chance of some new pics? I don't have any advice other then calling a vet and seeing what they say. I hope Josie is okay!

    I have no advice for this case
    I do hope Josie will be ok. Shes such a cuttie
    Give her a cookie & an ear scratch for me


    Audrey can you PM me your cell # again? I lost it when I lost my cell back in Dec 2008. We need to make more plans to get together again. Anime North is coming up & I'll hopefully be in PEI next summer (not this one, Digi's Emergency ate all that money).. Digi will be coming!!

    I'm also in favor of updated pics

    Thanks everyone. I did call the vet. She said it was nothing to worry about as long as she drank a lot. She's fine now, so all is well

    I'll attach a couple pics
