Sometimes I DO NOT love my dog, like tonight for instance.

Actually concider yourself lucky that is was Bob (a dog) that ate the foreign object. You wouldn't be able to get Ebby to throw up that easily (a cat) trust me, I've had to try it. Cats just do not like to have to throw up if they can get away without it. Dosed Sterling 3 times with the peroxide, but he would NOT cough up the toy he swallowed!
So exccept for the clean up (YUK) glad everything else went well.

I know what you mean Jen, it does bother me when I think about Ebbs ever swallowing anything that might harm her. Like you say, at least with a dog the peroxide thing does usually work.

Bob what a naughty boy you were, scaring your mom like that and ruining poor Ebby's mousie. I hope your tummy has settled down and that you learned a little lesson tonight.........

Pam, Bob is just a bad dawg, full stop, when it comes to picking up stuff and swallowing. The sort of stuff, and the amount, over the years that he has swallowed is beyond the pale, and heaven knows what he has had that I don`t know about..... I remember one day he vomited up a very suspicous thing, it was small square of a brown, what looked like a little block of resin wrapped in thick plastic. I threw it away but when I described it to someone who knows about such things they said they thought it was cannibis!!
And Bob was back to his naughty ways this morning while we were out for his walk! Twice he picked up stuff, twice I was standing in the field with my hand in his mouth waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for him to release it, PLUS he was growling and showing his teeth! Bad, Bad boy!
The first thing was a smallish plastic type cup which was quite easy to get out of his mouth the second thing was harder..... I put it in my pocket so I could throw it away at home, I think it is still there.... yup, took a picture, it is the plastic thing on top of my tea caddy.
