Hot Cross Bun

For the first time in nearly nine years, I completely stuffed up and Ella managed to eat something dangerous 🙁

I had prepared a perfectly toasted, lightly buttered hot cross bun for Jackson. He then threw and epic tantrum about EVERYTHING (the plate I used, where I put the plate on the table, how I cut it - you name it 🤦).

While I was distracted, Ella managed to sneak past and eat it 🤦

Now we're about to head to the vet to recover it 🤢🤮🤦

I feel incredibly frustrated with myself right now 🤦

Don't beat yourself up, you were a bit distracted.
Hardly any raisins in hot cross buns but beat to be safe.

Of course we bought the "extra fuity" ones 🙄


Oh well, it's done now. $220 later 🙄

How is Ella with being sick? I remember poor little Kipper feeling wretched when we had to take him for eating a pack of foxglove seeds. Hopefully she’ll bounce back quickly.
Really don’t beat yourself up, if we had a small human that threw things we’d be in the vet every two minutes. As it is, I heard Stilton merrily chewing plastic on his bed a couple of days ago. When I investigated, he was eating one of my earbuds (headphones) that I’d misplaced earlier in the day… 🤦‍♀️ (it’s okay, just a bit dented)

It's obviously not pleasant but she doesn't seem any more stressed than usual. She was quite pleased to have her muzzle removed because, well, can you imagine the result if we'd left it on? :tmi:

What did they do for her? Just make her sick?

They gave her something to make her sick and then, once we were satisfied it was all out, they gave her an anti nausea injection. As we were there so soon after her eating it, they're pretty confident she will be OK. However, we're back there in a couple of days (ear cleaning and drops for her ear infection - when it rains it pours 🙄) so they said they'll take some blood to check her liver and kidney function for any signs of stress or damage.

I got my first Labrador, Murphy, 28 years ago. Then I knew nothing about some human foods being poisonous for dogs. I fed Murphy pretty much everything you shouldn’t. Bits of mars bar, chocolate biscuit, he loved bolognaise which obviously had onion in and worse of all when we’d visit my grandparents I’d feed him their grapes !!! :shock: Now Murphy did suffer with colitis which might not be surprising but he lived to 15. He did have liver problems at about 14 but that was age related. I know I was lucky and I have never repeated my mistake with my dogs since but @Emily accidents happen and Ella will be fine now.:nod:

I don’t even take Stanley for things like that anymore 😬 our vet said due to his size he would have to eat such a huge amount for it to have any effect.

Don’t beat yourself up about it, these things happen. I’m impressed you’ve managed to get her to 9 without her eating anything - she’s a Labrador!!

Don’t - it’s inevitable with young children. When my youngest grandchildren are eating, the dogs are shut in a different room and only allowed to scoop up the bits from under the high chair when we’ve finished eating. I know Kit would just drop food deliberately for them because he loves seeing them foraging under his chair! I also have to shut them out of the kitchen when I’m cooking in case I drop something. I daren’t think about the potential damage to Tuppy’s digestive system from scavenging hot roast potatoes that have fallen off the baking tray on their way out of the oven!

We used to do that too. We don't worry about it now that both kids are a bit older as they know the foods Ella can and can't eat and both also know that they're not allowed to give anything to Ella without checking with us first.

This time it was my fault. I put the plate down while I dealt with the screaming Jackson. I should have put the plate back in the kitchen.

So sorry about that. It actually comes from a vet’s website for what to do in case of suspected poisoning. Obviously first best action is to rush to vet immediately. But it was advised in case of emergency, as I’d mentioned.

No need to apologise! :hug:
