Dog swallowed a whole perch

ApS · 01-21-2014, 05:36 PM

Out from under a Christmas tree, our 12-pound Mini-Dachshund pulled out a cookie tin covered in aluminum foil, opened it, and ate every one of a pound of Rum Balls!

We weren't delighted at her resourcefulness—plus—she appeared happy to see our return, so we weren't too worried.

Nothing happened.

The only "evidence" was found later in the back yard, which consisted of narrow strips of aluminum foil.

First and fore most, get advice from the Vet.

This thread starts with an extreme reason for concern and immediately takes a hysterical turn. Hahaha I can only remember so well the "commando raids" and the "evidence" found later. Thanks I needed that! lol.

Hope your pup is well.

A friend of mine had a yellow lab that would stand at the edge of the dock and watch for fish to swim by and then dive in and catch them. He then would swim back up on to the beach show everyone what he caught and then eat him. Then he would go back and do it again.
So I think it's ok for the dog to eat the fish.

I've always felt that there's a genetic link between bears and dogs.

When bears are hunting for fish, they'll put their entire faces under water and stroll along river bottoms to find their next meal.

While dogs might be looking for a rubber ball instead of a fish, they'll still "hunt" the same way.

Is there any other way to see under water, when you're swimming and your face is at surface level?

My point was that dogs and bears share the same hunting habits. I was about to say that cats don't have that same affinity for water, but I stumbled on a cat that apparently does like water!
