Begging for Ban Thread #11

About doggies that like to get into paper, stuffed pillows and such...

My brothers two pugs, Lilly and Daisy would get into things when he and his wife weren't home.  Lilly became sick, and so went a trip to the vet.  It's a good thing they got her in quickly.  Lilly had a blockage, and required emergency surgery.  The vet found the stuffings from pillows, lots of potpourri (SIL used to have in around in bowls), a push pin (!) and etc.  Now when my brother and SIL leave the house, they put the pugs in their kennel or put them in the kitchen with baby gate up and the kitchen has been pug proofed.  I think it was hard for my brother and SIL to put them up at first, because their pugs are their kids, but it was such a close call, they decided to do it.  The pugs have adapted.    

Muffy, that is awful I am glad they took her to the vet in time. Josef used to pull the stuffing out of his stuffed animals and eat the animal. I read up that it could cause blockage, so I took him to the vet and begged them to pump his stomach. Thank God the vet actually did it, because he too would have ended up having the same problem Lilly had. He had two stuffed animal carcasses plus plastic pieces of squeaky toys in his belly.

I am behind and need to read back, but No Rose, Brandi, Muffy, Wyks and other dog owners I have a question.

Came home from church and Josef had drainage coming out his eye. Now it is just keeps forming, and it is greenish goopy stuff. Have any of your dogs had that before? TIA JSM

Yes and no. Drainage from her eye, but white colored goopy stuff not greenish. It always clears up, she is constantly sticking her head in bushes, so I'm guessing it is an allergy. Though once she got all crusty around the eyes, and lost hair, but the vet gave us medicine and it cleared up.

I have to go eat, the pizza is almost here, and when I get back I'll try to help more JSM if I can  But I'm sure it is probably allergies, or maybe an eye infection.

Thanks No Rose, this was whitish this morning, but has turned green today. I figured it was from sticking his head in bushes as well. The doctor will look at it tomorrow. I just called them.

Thanks No Rose, did you see my huge picture of the popcorn cake?

[joesamas mama]

Sorry, I guess I should have previewed it before I posted that huge azz cake. Feel free for any mod to fix it. I took it with my cell phone and thought it would be teeny tiny, not gigantic. 

The bigger the better  that looks great, never saw a cake like that before 

I didn't read this message, guess I am all mixed up. I will post the recipe because even you and I could make it, not baking needed.

EDIT Nevermind

One of my Yorkies, "Bitsy" gets a kind of goop in her eye, but its usually whitish.  She has allergies, and the vet told me to give her half a children's chewable benadryl a day to help with that.  Bitsy wouldn't eat it though, and I had to put it in a bit of cheese slice.  (not too much cheese, it's too rich for their pancreas).  I use pill pockets if I get to Petsmart or Petco.  Sometimes the vet will have them too. 

JSM gently pull back and look at the area around Josef's eye.  It should look white.  If it's reddish or pinkish, he probably has an infection.  My vet gives Bitsy Neo-Poly-Dex drops for her eyes, when her allergies are high and her eyes get irritated.

JSM, you can also wipe Joef's eyes clean.  Use boiled water that has been cooled, and dip a clean cotton pad or kleenex and gently wipe across his eyes, with them closed, of course.  Use a clean pad for each eye.  Never use same pad on both eyes.  It can contaminate. 

I wonder if Josef may have scratched his eye?  If so, they can put drops in it and illuminate and see if it's scratched.  But first of all, since it's Sunday night, I would try gently cleaning his eyes.

Thank You so much Muffy. His eye isn't red and what was concerning me is that if it were allergies, he would be having this in both eyes. I have been wiping it, but it is still oozing. I will try the benadryl. His vet was leaving at 7 tonight and I didn't have time to get him there before he left.

Thanks again  . He was poking into bushes today so I think maybe that is what it was from, but it has never been this color and that is what concerned me.

Looks wonderful, it really does, never seen such an interesting cake like that before. The vet will maybe give you something for Josef's eyes, hopefully not eye drops, imagine putting eye drops in a dog's eyes  that would not work well with Zoe, even the cream I had to put on around her eyes, she freaked out.

JSM  I have done what Muffy said but added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the water. Not for my dogs but for my cats. When their eyes got all yucky like that.  I did it three or four times a day for a couple days and it helped. Glad you are taking Josef to the vet in the morning.  The popcorn cake looks good.

Sorry to quote myself but that would be for each cup of water 1/4 teasppon of salt.

Greeneyes, thanks I may try that next. Just gave him a benadryl and hopefully that will work. He wasn't too happy about it, but I have been doing what Muffy said about not contaminating the other eye. Poor baby usually has Marty Feldman eyes, today one is bugged out and the other is squinty. He looks like this

Thank No Rose, I had another dog named Buddy that got an eye infection and I had no problems putting drops in his eyes, any kind of human contact didn't bother him a bit. He thrived on it because he was always left out because of evil Josef. I really miss that dog, he was so sweet and gentle unless provoked by the evil one

Thanks Greeneyes. My eyes are bothering me today as well as his are. I wore makeup for the first time since skating competition and I now have itchy eyes. I hate makeup, makes my face feel like I have glue on it.

Some dogs don't mind things like that, Zoe goes crazy when she thinks ointment or something like that is coming, she runs around the dining room table, with me behind, but I always catch her  She is not a dog that likes to be pampered or touched very much. She likes to be pet, but don't think about cutting toenails, touching her feet much, and look out if she is laying there and you don't see her and accidently step on her tail, she will growl at you

Rosie,,,my old dog is the same way! don't dare step on that tail!

JSM...that  sure looks like a yummy cake! I will try it if the recipe is supplied...thanks!

Joe is exactly like Zoe, he won't take medicine in cheese or a pill pocket anymore, I have to shove it down his throat. He doesn't mind being petted, but if I mess with his feet or blow on his ears he gets pizzed. I like to do it just to get a reaction from him. It is very funny sometimes. I would never think about cutting his nails or giving him a bath, that is why God gave me the girls at daycare to do that. No way no how would I even try to do that myself.

Hi cookie, I usually can't step on Joe's tail because he is always up mine.

I will hopefully get the recipe for the cake tomorrow. It is very good, like a rice krispy treat made of popcorn, peanuts and m&ms.
