A ten euro note:D, thankfully it wasnt a 50.

My friends dog ate her contraceptive pill, well most of the packet, lol and her husbands fake eye, no joke:eek: They managed to get it back when she vomitted it back up.

I once owned a dog that raided a girlfriends handbag & ate a months supply of the pill. I couldn't get my Vet to stop laughing. Turned out to be no problem - it would of been far worse if he had taken one each day !

On a serious note beware of wine corks. Dogs love them & they don't show up on x rays when they block the gut. It used to be a party trick to hand the cork to someone & get them to try & guess where it had been.

Eibhin

My golden retriever ate a block of yeast...the packet was about the size of a half pound of butter and LUCKILY I saw her doing it because it could have been fatal.
Literally piled here into the car to the vet and 2 injections and €80 later she vomited.
She smelt like the inside of a vienna roll all day long!

I don't know if you mean you literally had to pull them, but I wouldn't recommend that, especially with something that has elastic in it, like socks and knickers, it could be caught up in something internally, and by pulling it, you can do serious damage.

One of my dogs ate a football sock, he has eaten loads of socks, and usually passes them whole, no problem, but I guess as this one was thicker, it stayed inside. xray to see what the blockage was and some medication later, he managed to pass it.

My big guy has a real thing for tissues, you cannot leave them anywhere as he'll sniff them out, he's also been known to pull them out from under a drink without disturbing the glass

When the little one was a pup we went through, laptop chargers, shoes, socks very expensive mobile phone and loads and loads of mp3 player earphones :P

Ingesting foreign bodies can be extremely serious.
My dog became quite ill a couple of months ago. It turned out that he had eaten a weird rubbery object (rubber glove/balloon/condom?). It was hard to tell exactly what it was.
Scans/x-rays etc didn't show anything conclusive and it was only found when the vet opened him up for an exploratory. The object had ruptured his intestine, and the vet said that the only reason he didn't get peritonitis/sepsis (highly common in these cases) is that the object managed to plug the hole that it made. She said she coudln't believe he was alive.
Anyway, €700 later and minus four inches of intestine, he's doing great thankfully.

My dog once ate a toy rubber mouse, he must have thought it was the real deal

it was just hanging out nearly the whole way so i coaxed it out for him same with knickers and a bit of a t towel. when i say pull i dont mean yanked it.

Even so, you can do serious damage. You know the way sometimes if dogs eat grass, they have a strand of it hanging out of their bum? Even that you're not supposed to pull, there could be a very good reason why it hasn't come all the way out, so if they can't pass it naturally, leave it for a while, a bit of liquid paraffin to help 'grease the wheels':D, and it should be okay.

Cakes.

My cat got sick this morning and then ate it. My sister nearly got sick when she seen it. :pac::pac:
