So occasionally we tether the dogs outside on nice days (not for hours at a time, but for like 30 minute intervals) . *I* always do a check of the yard before I put them out. I came home from work and keely was outside. She looked odd, even from my car. When I approached her she wasn't excited like she normally gets, and she was HUGE... her stomach was grossly large.
Justin had tethered her close to our shed and there was a bag of garbage he didn't remember was there behind the shed. Which contained apparently, left over Kentucky fried chicken from over a week ago. She ate Everything she could manage to stick into her.
she couldn't move, her stomach was so large, It felt like it would literally burst. I didn't know what to do , I panicked so I figured I would induce vomiting. we didn't have any peroxide so I had to drive to my mother in laws. I drove like a madman. I swear, emergency blinkers and everything. I wouldn't have minded as much but she was very obviously uncomfortable. When I got back I realized I hadn't done this before and I was horrified I would do something wrong.
I poured it down her throat and NOTHING happened. So then I FREAKED out yet again because I had just poured PEROXIDE down my dogs throat and it wasn't coming back up and I thought she was going to die. No joke guys.
Eventually she started puking and I will tell you , I didn't realize how much a 10 lb dog could force into themselves . There were chicken bones that were almost full sized , and sharded.
She's still a little off but I guess she probably still feels a little sick from the peroxide? I know she emptied her stomach because after about the 6th time her vomited it was just bile.
I know I'm rambling , but I'm still really freaked out. And I now realize I would be NO GOOD in an emergency situation. I just panicked.
Do you think I did the right thing guys? I'm worried now that I should have just let it be.
What would you have done in that situation?
I really do not know what I would do in a really big life or death situation. now I am afraid if something really really big happens one of the dogs will die when I could have saved them if I weren't so panicky
