I'm so sorry your furry friens are so sick. Thank goodness you figured out what they had done before it was too late. I hope they all make quick recoveries and sorry about your wallet!

Dairy is ok in small doses but some dogs have an issue with it. Yogurt is the easiest to digest (doggie ice cream is usually frozen yogurt). Mine get a teaspoon of non-fat plain yogurt with their meals for the pro-biotic qualities.

Here's a fairly comprehensive list of foods that are toxic for dogs.

The main ones that require induced vomiting are:
chocolate
macadamia nuts
Xylitol foods
Onions/garlic/onion family foods
wild mushrooms
avocado in large amounts
Peach pits

HOW TO INDUCE VOMITING:

Give one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide (use a syringe or dropper) and wait 10 minutes. if the dog doesn't barf, give another tablespoon. It should be effective within a very short time.

Ralphie's dad's dog ate like two pounds of See's chocolate and was fine. Not sure why, tho... But yeah chocolate = bad.

The darker the chocolate the worse it is for dogs. See's usually has a lot of other ingredients in the mix. Gus (the pug who pugged me) ate about 15 chocolate covered pistachio nuts and had a pretty bad toxic reaction.

especially not with a Peroxide chaser... *Yuk*

Pongo will, indeed, be fine. His sugar levels today were normal. He has to have his liver rechecked in a couple of weeks but the vet doesn't foresee any long term damage.

Thanks to all of you for the good wishes.

One other thing that I would add to NA's list is apples. Specifically the seeds. They contain cyanide and can be deadly, especially in small dogs.

I forgot about apple seeds. Apples are actually a great treat but the seeds are a no no. I think many seeds contain cyanide (I believe this is the problem with peach pits as well (along with the fact that they don't break down and can cause intestinal blockage.

I know I sure wouldn't want to pass a peach pit... ouch! :eek:
