My dog ate a hanger

[wskinner]

My 9 month old lab got a hold of a plastic coat hanger last night and chewed it up. Apparently he did more than just chew it up. He had unusually wet stool this mornin and ate his food this mornin. This afternoon he tried to go twice and was unable to. Tonight he did not eat and just a little awhile ago he threw up a ball of the plastic. Im plannin on takin him to the vet in the mornin if he doesnt pass a normal stool, but i was just wonderin if this is something more serious and i should go to the emergency vet tonight. Thanks

i don't know what to tell you bud....mine's eaten some wierd shit, but never a coat hanger...

the vet's probably the best place to take him....

My dog ate something one time when he was just a pup and I took him to the vet cause he couldn't pass a stool and they told me to go to CVS and get some mineral oil and put a teasppon in his food and took my 75 dollars and sent me on my way lol so I don't know what to tell ya!

if you're still in Clemson....run him by Tiger Town Animal Clinic in the morning...over across the street from 12 mile creek park.....they won't do you wrong.

my roommate works over there and they're good people....$75 is cheap ass insurance in my book brother....

good luck with it!

My Brittany would eat beer cans and shit out shards of aluminum when she was younger. Don't know how she didn't die from internal bleeding. Dogs can eat some crazy stuff and live to tell about it.

I know exactly what you mean. The dog I had before the one I got now would eat beer caps. If you opened a beer and set the cap down where she could reach it, it was gone. She would crunch on it a couple of times and then gulp it down.

One new years eve when I still had her I had a good sized party at the house, 50+ people. I found dog turds for 3 days after that woven with different colored beer bottle caps. They looked like a 3rd grade art class project. That dog had talent.

My boss checked his dog out and saw lumps in his belly.. thought it was tumors.. took him to the vet and they took x-rays... He had 21 golf balls in his stomach..

I couldn't figure out how he had room for anything else in his belly..

I wouldn't want to have been standing behind him when he turned loose though !!!

Labs are right up there with goats on the eating weird shit then being able to shit it out. My 11 year old lab has eaten and shit out a whole tootsie roll, I mean it looked like she swallowed it whole and shit it out whole it still had the twists in wrapper. She has eaten disposable razor blades, an electric razor, 2 grilled chicken carcasses in one sitting, a bottle of pills, and a multitude of other shit man nor beast is supposed to eat. She shit it all out on her own except for one time when I had to help pull a paper towel out of her ass, she got it most of the way out on her own then needed a little help.

So I'm not the only person who has a lab that has eaten a razor blade?? Luckily DJ also got a hold of the toilet paper roll that night and passed it all the next day. Yellow knucklehead, he has put more than a few gray hairs on both our heads. On the other hand, his black lab brother Sterling seemed to enjoy chewing and eating my wife's kneehighs. And if you have chicken- any kind of chicken- you've got a party!!! Worse than children...........no, wait a minute, they are our children.

If your dog can't pass the pieces of hanger, quits eating / drinking and starts to get real "puny" get him to the vet asap. My lab had to have an obstruction removed from his stomach when he was a puppy...sticks and pieces of torn up towel. Stopped him up completely and it would have eventually killed him.

My sister works for a vet and they have removed whole golf balls, matchbox cars, etc.

he ate this mornin and has been drinkin more than usual this mornin. I just took him out in the yard and threw a bumper for him so i could try to get his bowels movin. If somethin doesnt happen in a couple of hours i think im gonna have to make a trip to the vet.

The lab my brother used to have ate a Big Bertha driver. How the hell he got the head down I'll never know. Said for the next two days he knew everytime Ringo took a dump. I guess fiberglass hurts more on the way out.

my dipshit of a chocolate lab used to eat my gf's socks constantly...couple times a month we'd wake up to him throwing one of them bastards up...usually around 2am ish.

he ate a teeny tiny rubber ball one time and it got lodged somewheres...put him in the vet for a couple days.

damn a lab.

[Tha Dick]

I have shit my share of what felt like bottle caps and coat hangers also- I think I shit a crowbar a time or two

Turd, that reminded me of the post you made about your GI issues during beefaroni night. One of the funniest posts I've ever read.

Never ceases to amaze me what they will eat. My Boykin at 2 popping bugs, hooks and all, last April. You can guess how that ended. The vet had to bust him open to get them out. She told me that they do that surgery almost everyday for dogs having eaten one thing or another. Amazing.

He may be alright if he chewed it into small enough pieces first so that he can pass it. If you worried he may have eaten it in big pieces go with Turbo's advise and go ahead and take him in to the vet. I use Dr. Craddock at TT animal hospital too. He's a good guy and won't feed you any BS. Its not worth risking a perforated bowel to save a few bucks.

My Chuck Norris will eat the hell out of some oysters like there's no tomorrow.

whenever we dump a bunch of shells in the driveway to fil holes, he's on them sumbitches like white on rice and has them stripped clean and scattered across the yard by morning.

Mine never got into eating much strange junk. I can't carry him anywhere around a cornfield without him knawing corn (doesn't eat the cob) and he'll tear a 2x4 up like it is a stick, don't know how he doesn't end up with splinters in his mouth.

What he really goes crazy for is peanuts or pecans. I was walking the other day with him and stepped on a pecan. He dove right on it eating the hull and all and then spit the trash part out.

He does ok to be 7 years old though
