Posted By: JPro Dog ate a whole box of Splenda - 05/21/13
Quick internet search says he won't die, but power-squirts may be on the way. Wife left the box on the patio table when unloading the car. Lucky her, as she just left for "girl's night out". I get to keep an eye on him this evening. tired

I've got leather furniture and hardwood floors, but Jasper ain't coming back inside until he's had a few meals run through him. Just a risk I'm not willing to take. Dumb S.O.B. ate 97 packets, paper and all.

You guys ever had a dog do something like that? Every time it's happened to me, it's been with a puppy. Jasper is about 8mos old now and 60-65lbs, but still acts quite the idiot. I did have another pup that age and size (half lab, half Dane), and he made himself miserable by eating an entire catering tray full of coleslaw. Looked like he ate a beach ball and smelled like his azz had been possessed by the devil. Cabbage, mayo, and dog guts don't go well together. But at least he didn't live in my house and sleep on the sofa.....
He will be chitin' Twinkies pretty soon. With the shortage, I bet you could sell them to some pot heads.
I'm glad he's watching his carbs.
"Dumb S.O.B. ate 97 packets, paper and all."

at least he got some fiber with it.....

I had a dog that pulled stunts like that...He lived to be 12
Had a lab that once ate a bacon grease covered brillo pad

Sorry but just the title alone has me ROTFLMAO. Last week a popsicle stick and now this. TFF.

Hope he's okay.
Good luck with you pooch!

Well, he sure should have had a 'bright' smile after that!!

Hey, JPro, what is that dog, part goat? He sure like to get a variety of fiber doesn't he?
I know for a fact that 5lb bag of C&H Sugar will give even a large dog the squirts! Good luck.

Had a dog that ate a rock...that came with an expensive vet bill.

Other digestive studies included: SOS pad, athletic tape, and tin can with grease.

I must be a bad dog owner because my dogs seem bent on suicide.

I also gave one a t-bone for a minute and it swallowed the whole thing. Late that night the dog shot mud about 10 feet out the door of her kennel.
In a about 2 weeks time last summer our boxer ate 3 corn cobs shortly after we had eaten the corn off and then a pound of butter with the wax wrappers. It was ugly for a couple days after each occurence but she was fine. Coat seemed pretty smooth and shiny after the butter episode!!
Yea. Let us know how everything..........umm..........comes out. sick

Actually.......I don't want to know. Hell. You might come up with some kind of great hog bait invention. Feed him some strawberry jello and splenda. See if that works.


Let your wife know that some artificial sweeteners can be deadly to dogs. A small amount of Xylitol will shut a dogs liver down permanently. Glad he will be alright other than a little digestive tract cleansing.

Killer deadly, or so I've heard.

For future reference:

In cases like this, and other canine poison ingestions,.....

Drench the critter with off the shelf Hydrogen Peroxide, If caught within a coupla' hours, the victim WILL puke most of the ingested material back up.

Follow with Activated Charcoal, and for anti-coagulants, some vitamin K.

Read this twice, call in the morning,.... send $$ to my home address.

GTC
I wouldn't be so worried about now as I would long term and cancer.
Feed him a couple of boxes of cake mix (sounds like you don't even have to take it out of the box with this living vaccuum cleaner, although it would be a good idea!), then have him play "roll over" for ten minutes or so. Have him run up and down a hot street, and bingo! cupcakes for the neighborhood.
I asked him if he wanted to eat a jug of instant coffee to go with the sweetener, but he only drinks decaf....

Big storm blew through last night, knocking out power, snapping trees, so I had to bring him inside after all. Unbelievably, he did not paint my house brown. I did feed him a bowl of dog food and 3 slices of bread before sticking him in the backyard for 3 hours, so maybe he got it out of his system before the storm hit. That should teach us to leave any food-related items where he may get them. Also found that he chewed the wiring lights off my utility trailer. Wife bought him a soccer ball last week, but he popped it and scattered pieces all over. I knew labs were like this, but he's giving them a run for their money. The huge rawhide bones last a few days at most. Worst I ever saw was a Catahoula Cur / terrier mix I had that would chew golf balls to shreds. Why, I have no idea.....
u need a kong ...the black one.
My wife thought it was a good idea to feed the dog some shrimp for dinner. Schit all over the house, up the wall, on the baseboards...

After cleaning up the house I locked him in the garage all day yesterday. He schit all over the garage floor but at least it was an easier clean up. Took him for a walk last night at midnight, still schitting. I think the wife finally gets the "no human food!" which I have been repeating for 3 years.
Yuk. It's not like shrimp are a natural part of a canine's diet. I bet if you fed a tiger a bucket of chinese take-out, he'd likely do the same. I know I would.... (grin)

Friends neighbor had a new F250 & the Lab chewed a main wire harness underneath, it got towed to the dealership.

I did have to replace a friends NBA basketball, my Lab got his mourh open wide enough to puncture it. Luckily for us our Lab has never once chewed any items in the house. He's 4 yrs old and home alone all the time.
Probably will get something like that. Petco had something similar I saw the other day, but it was about $30. Should have bit the bullet and got it.
one of my labs ate cow chit on the farm all day at Grampas. We were staying in a hotel near the farm and I wanted to just leave the dog at the farm overnight, nope, wife wanted her baby at the hotel with us (that didn't allow pets). We woke up in the middle of the night to a stench and he had blown liquid poo out his rear that covered about 100 square feet of the room in a fine layer about a 1/4" thick.

We were not welcome back at that hotel, ever.

Go to local butcher shop that processes carcass beef, get large whole femur bone , damn near indestructible. Have them split it length ways, give him half, freeze the other half for later use. If it suddenly disappears, he buried it.
