Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Unplugging a Labrador

My Lab ate something and clogged himself up again. Who knows what it was. Labs eat everything. Occasionally he eats something that plugs him up.

He wouldn't eat for a day or so. Finally he started nibbling at stuff again, so I gave him a can of pork & beans with a tablespoon of Miralax stirred up in it.

A few hours later he wanted to go outside so I let him. He walked out a little ways,...started trembling, then took about a 2 lb schitt.

He's back to normal now.

I shoulda been a vet.

Didn't find your keys by chance did you?

lol,...no. It wasn't my keys. I don't know what it was and I'm not interested enough to dissect that big dump he took.

Years ago I took my lab camping. Later that night he puked by the campfire. In his puke was a whole hot dog, a bird, confetti, and a D sized battery.

Doesn't surprise me a bit.

Last week Dillon, the Boxer, ate a new SOS pad.
Gave him some peroxide, and he hurled it in the yard.

I had a standard poodle in the kennel that puked up it's owner's panties. Tan color they were. I hosed them off and put them in a big baggie and gave it back to her.

My lab has been chewing up our solar powered landscaping lights. I think he got at least one battery if not more. Anyway earlier in the week the guy had the [bleep] something terrible. Unfortunately it wasn’t always outside.its been a long hard week.

Mine doesn't like doing his business in the house. When he's got to go he'll carry on something awful until you let him out.

It's usually not an issue. He spends enough time outside during the day to take care of matters. But a couple of times he's had to go early in the morning and he'd fuss at the door until I got out of bed to let him out.

D cell battery?!? That is a badass Lab. 😎

He was a badass Lab. Championship bloodline. In his prime, he was 97 lbs. of solid muscle. He would follow any command I gave him. He lived to be 16, but I had to put him down - he could barely move at the end - it was a sad day. I've got a photo somewhere in storage. Next time I get a chance I'll see if I can find it.

Honest gawd that's been MY diet for the last 2 days.

Have yer guy call me. We'll talk.

LMAO!!!

Energizer lab.

Canned pumpkin.

bowl of vanilla ice cream and hydrogen peroxide if you want the Lab to vomit immediately after swallowing somthing. Youll see stuff you thought you lost years ago.

Momma dogs lick their pups [bleep] to stimulate them to cshit. 😁

About a month and a couple days ago, my collie girl stopped pooping, then slowed waaay down on eating. One of her anal glands was swollen up bad, doc expressed it, but that wasn't the problem. She had some cancer going on, which actually explained a few things. We ended up giving her enema syringes and those worked, massive dark poops everywhere in the back yard. (The first "expulsion" was at the vet's office!).
But then she quit eating all the way, including hand cooked, hand fed "people" food (burger, bacon grease, chicken). And at 15+ (a rescue, indeterminate age), there was not much else to do.
She is now on the bookcase, along with her brother, who preceded her by about a month with a stroke, that rendered him blind and unable to walk within about a half a day. He was already deaf.
Normally we bury our dogs, but when he went, it had been raining so hard, I couldn't stick a shovel in without hitting water, so we cremated him, and then her when she went.
It would be an epic understatement to say that I do deeply grieve their passing, they were fantastic dogs...

My vet always says this, but I’ve never been able to coax, cajole, beg, implore, beseech, badger, hector, intimidate, or force any of the cats or dogs into eating it. I’d have had better luck with a posterior-positioned shop vac.

Glad to hear your pup got it worked out, Bristoe.

My first lab a big male named Bart picked up one of my mothers knee high stockings and passed it in the yard. Ellie my current black female once took a citronella candle off the picnic table dropped it on the deck and ate wax, some glass and passed it without a hiccup. We just finished a couple days of doggy diarrhea with plain white rice. Kind of the opposite of Bristoe’s dogs problem.
