PEROXIDE TO INDUCE VOMIT PLEASE !! HELP - Page 2

Thanks for the info about tomatoes. Sheesh, another toxi@ substance that is always in the house. I would think it would take a pretty substantial amount before it would be of concern? ¶would it make a difference if the tomatoes were hot-house? Those tasteless "pretend tomato" things have nothing other than color to make one think they might be tomatoes, so would they have any toxicity?

My Barron years ago ate a whole bag of chocalate diet drink mixed wrappers and all. My vet had me take a measuring cup and mix 2 cups warm heavy salted water and 2 cups peroxide and I got a large needless syringe from him and gave him 2 big syringe fulls after about 5 minutes of walking him around he became a water fountain of foamy chocolate  and wrappers

I usually start with three tablespoons.  That's worked ever time for me!  The only time I've had to give more is if I needed more vomit (like when the pup ate rat poison and I wanted to see clear bile coming up before I stopped, luckily the rat poison was colored this bright blue so it was obvious when he had puked it all).

Well the dog is fine this morning .She never did throw up the peroxide mix . Mking I skipped the pepto .I was thinking along your thoughts on it .No sense stopping things up, let it come out both ends as fast as it can . Even though she has not had anything pass out the other end yet this morning . I remember reading tomatoes could be toxic .I think thats what had me really scared .Not that you could tell  that what was in the container was ever tomatoes .it was like nasty soup .yuk ! She was watching when I threw it out in the trash . Old dogs are determined I should have known she was up to no good as she had just been out side with me less then 30 minutes before . Then she insisted I let her out "she had to go again " Right !! she had her mind on eating that trash .As for the socks , this is a new thing with her . I am worried she will get a blockage from it .So I am going to keep an eye on her . She is nine + years old ,she was a rescue at two years old .She has always had a few anxiety problems .She has had some changes in her life structure lately . Kids grow up dogs grow old .The kid wants to play with his friends ,the dog still wants to play only with her kid . Thanks for all who helped us get threw the night .

You know, some of those poison control websites are idiotic. I've studied botany and have also worked as a professional gardener. Tomatoes and potatoes both belong to the nightshade family. It's only the GREEN parts of the plant that are toxic. Don't eat green tomatoes, and don't eat green (sunburned) potoatoes, and, needless to say, don't eat the foliage, and you and your dogs will do just fine. My husband used to feed  our GSD, Tasha, potatoe skins all the time, and she lived to the age of 14!

I would worry about bacteria and other possibly toxic substances in the decayed veggies though. You can get alcohol from fermentation, too, and if there was enough of that, it could make the dog sick.

Wuzzup, I am glad she is feeling better today. I would just keep an eye out for any vomiting, retching,  lack of bowel movements, or liquid diarrhea. If you notice any of those things I would get her to the vet ASAP.

Good to hear she is better. I had a friend years ago whose rottie took to eating "inappropriate" household items. She had no clue, until it reached critical mass with a blockage. When the dog was opened up, the vet found several tampons, three socks, underwear, half a rubber ball and a pair of panty-hose. As a result, I try to keep an eye on my own dogs. Let's face it, the four-legged heathens will scarve down anything that doesn't run up a tree to get away.
