The sugar free sort is very poisonous to dogs.
I know that.
Just one piece can lead to severe hypoglycaemia and liver failure.
I know that too.
I have a chewing gum addiction and have been very careful to keep it away from dogs.
Yesterday I put my chewing gum in a tissue and popped it on the radiator while I took my coat off. Guess who has a thing about tissues? Guess who grabbed it and ate it before I could blink?
Yep. Ted.
Mr Boogs is on a walking holiday in Majorca with my son and four others. He had to take the car as his flight was cancelled and he flew from Gatwick, so I have no car.
I have made three friends here who I felt I could ask to take me, the vet is in Cheddar - but they weren’t answering their phones. So I knock on my neighbour’s door as I know she works from home and we’ve had a few chats over the fence. She happily took us without hesitation and was really kind. She sent work emails in the car park while she waited for us.
Ted was given some food, which he wolfed down, and an injection to make him sick - which he did ‘very tidily’ according to the vet, who was also lovely. Followed by an anti-sickness injection when he was ‘empty’. Yes, we saw the chewing gum come up.
Ted never stopped wagging throughout.
Vets seem to charge almost double round here to what I’m used to paying. It was £205! Luckily insurance (Many Pets) payed up the same day so I just had to pay the excess. And a bottle of red for my neighbour. Plus I’ve given up chewing gum for ever!
Life is never dull with a dog!
Meeeee? I’m innocent!
