sophiebelle - 2014-01-16 2:49 PM My husky ate the collar off my border collie. It caused an impaction and she had to have surgery. In visiting with the vet, he told me that he has pulled some pretty bizarre stuff out of dogs, but some of the most embarrassing items were fishnet stockings and thongs. He said the thongs for some reason are always red and he always returns the retrieved items to the dog's owner. I was sooo very thankful it happened to be the collar off the other dog in my case.

Other then cat crap which is her favorite thing in the world... My Doberman has eaten an egg crate, multiple dog beds, an entire crib sheet (she left the elastic though),  socks (sometimes just the toes of the socks). She eats sticks, doesn't just chew on them... she eats them. Golf balls, she chews up and eats, she got ahold of a softball (the big yellow ones), and by the time I found it in her bed there was nothing left but half of the core... I assume she ate the rest. We have multi-colored dog poo all over the yard. I am surprised she made it to 5 years old, I thought for sure she was going to eat something that would be the end of her by now.

The oddest thing I have seen though.... She was chewing on something in the livingroom one day. I told her to drop it and about 5 pieces of glass came out of her mouth. After inspection, it was a light bulb. I don't know where she got it, or why she was eating it... but she was very happy with herself.

She is no longer allowed to have bedding in her kennel because she just eats it, it would be different if she just tore it up...but things disapear when they go in her kennel. They also don't get toys anymore either unless it is something that I bring out only when I am playing with them. My poor Boxer loves his toys, never chews them up, just carries them around and sleeps with them... then she comes by while he is asleep and murders his toys and eats the evidence. They do get bones, and once she starts chewing bite size pieces off they get thrown away. They have 1 bone that neither one of them have been able to chew up, they have had that for over a year. One tough bone. It is odd though that of all the things she has chewed up, she has never been one to chew shoes, furniture, or any of the normal things that usually puppies want to chew on. Just things she thinks are hers.

RodeoCowgirl4u - 2014-01-16 11:28 PM LOL...I used to work at a vet's office and some of the things people's pets eat was pretty amazing. The most unique thing that I've ever seen ingested was a My Little Pony. The client also emailed us a picture of the "safely passed" object 3 days later. My own dog, a 7 lb chihuahua, managed to eat a 4lb roaster chicken off my kitchen table. A WHOLE chicken that almost weighed as much as her!! She was sick for 3 days and could barely move. Literally. The vet also taught us that if you NEED to make your dogs throw up (and apparently children, too) you can feed them a teaspoon (for smaller dogs) to 2 tablespoons (for larger mutts) of hydrogen peroxide. It makes the stomach foam and the pet will vomit the foam along with whatever they have eaten as long as it was recently ingested and still in the stomach and not in the intestine.
