Puppy Ate a Sock

RE: Puppy Ate a Sock Post By Heather (Guest Post) (11/21/2008) My own dog just ate a sock tonight... poor little peanut. She is just a little thing, a Boston terrier / pug mix. I called the emergency vet and she had nothing but grim news: unfortunately due to the time of night and where we live I'm looking at an hours drive and over $200 to have her looked at tonight: I just don't have that in my means. I in no way intend to deprive her of vet care. I'm just hoping I have till tomorrow to get her some help. Is there anything I can do for her to help? I read on here about the milk and peroxide but am hesitant because the vet said that vomiting is bad.

However, when I go outside in the yard to let my puppy 'do it's business', he will eat grass and dirt like crazy! I thought my yard was puppy proof but apparently he found a big piece of black tape and ate it. A few days later during a bowel movement (he pooped a little) he yelped and cried and ran around in a squat position while trying to "bite" his behind. Finally after a minute of that, he continued to poop. I didn't get a chance to look very closely at the bowel movement because I was comforting my puppy. My husband came home and picked up all the poop from the yard so I never got a chance to look at it. Anyone know why this happened. I assumed he pooped out something he ate.

So when I got home from work I tried the peroxide 1 tsp and about 4 oz. of milk. Guess what within 30 sec. My dog thew up 3 socks. Oh my gooodness. He felt much better right away. This morning he was back to his old self. Thanks so much for the advice.

Second my daughter played with a tomato, onion, and an orange. Found the onion in the trash can with a spoon still. Can not find the tomato or orange so good luck with the sock and puppy do do. Next time you babysit go to the dollar store, and buy some dog squeaky toys. Also if he likes socks take one of your husbands old ones and tie it in knots. Play tug of war just be a bit gentle with his teeth. He might like it.

You'd child-proof your home if you had to; please puppy-proof it now before a disaster happens and it's too late.

The vet didn't see anything to be alarmed about she said she would have been sick by now. I am 99% sure she ate it but the vet does not think so. Since Wednesday I have check everywhere for that sock and it is now where to be found. Since last week she pooped out a paper towel and a pair of undies that we didn't even know she ate. I'll keep you informed. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Puppy Ate a Sock Post by KLJohn (88) | (02/12/2008) Profile | Contact PLEASE let us know how the puppy does!

If I lay down to take a nap and she is in my bedroom, she gets bored (I guess) and pulls every piece of TP or Kleenex out of the trash can and shreds it on the bathroom floor. She's never eaten a sock (or any TP as far as I know) though. Please be careful with this little guy...and let us know how he is, ok?

Yesterday she pooped out a paper towel. So hopefully today she will poop out the sock.
