Re: nice question--how to make your dog throw up!
Lucky Aeryn just got to be on the receiving end of the hydrogen peroxide. I got home from work tonight and 'Ryn was outside in the dog pen -- didn't even rush to the gate to greet me. Hmmm, what's she doing? I guess when my Dad put out the bag of kitchen garbage he set it on top of instead of in the garbage can. I got home in time to find the darling girl polishing off the last of the garbage. Included in said garbage where chicken wing bones, a big sheet of aluminum foil with salmon skin stuck to it, tea bags, kleenex, paper towels etc. etc. Well there were only a few tiny pieces of the aluminum foil left, some scraps of the plastic bag, and 1 tea bag. I couldn't imagine letting her try and pass all that heavy duty foil, let alone the chicken bones, so out came the dreaded H2O2. Poor girly, I always hate doing that to her -- the disgusted look on her face! But up it all came, along with a couple of things I didn't know about (seems she'd been helping to clean up a couple piles of dog poop .. YUCK!!!) All's well that ends well, the garbage is now appropriately disposed of, Aeryn has forgiven me, and was quite adament that she did indeed feel like having her supper! sue(Aeryn with Devyn Rowyn -- good thing the boys were inside at the time or i would have been cleaning up barf from 3 instead of 1!

Pardon my ignorance but why would you want to prevent your dog from eating peppers and tomatoes (I know about the onions)? Regards Mandy, Lionheart's Clyde v Pioneer Barc's Caledonian Princess
RE: how to make your dog throw up - quantities
For a 26 lbs puppy, the 1 TBS qty is what emergency vets told me. For a bitch around 75-80 lbs, I was told 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide. The puppy laped it up in no time and we acheived the goal. On the other hand, we never did succeed in getting my wise girl to drink the stuff -- in fact, it was all over us, the laundry room walls, the floor, everywhere -- and narry a drop passed over her lips! Fortunately, she did not exhibit any signs of poisoning. When I was on the road, I was responsible for someone else's dog whom the owner had suspected had consumed chocolate. It took me 3 tries to get him to vomit. Administer Hydrogen Peroxide, wait 10 minutes, administer HP, wait 10 minutes, etc. Fortunately, it came up on the third try -- sure enough, there were a few Hersey's kisses there...probably not enough to hurt, but the owner felt better, if not the dog!

Re: how to make your dog throw up - quantities
I can't remember whose dog it was. At one of the Bernese Weekends at Shirley Chong's a Berner gulped down a glove before any of us could react and grab it. Really was amazing as the pup had to gulp big to get it down. A bit of peroxide later up it came no worse for wear. The dog was fine and we continued with training. I think it was there that it was recommended you carry a turkey baster or something similar along with the peroxide so you can squirt it down their throats if need be. jane heggen the boys of iowa

Re: nice question--how to make your dog throw up!
I used a mixture of peroxide and water before, something like a teaspoon of peroxide to a cup of water, wait 5 minutes and there it goes. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: nice question--how to make your dog throw up! hi everyone, i have a question, we were all out hiking today and my boy mutt suddenly comes over gagging and choking a little, then ate a lot of grass all the way back--and drank water but cannot throw up, and i know he wants to--he's still gagging a little! i think he got something up his nose or stuck in his throat. a big bunch of grass is waiting to come out somewhere! is there a way i can help him throw up? thank you! danielle
