what. a. furry. little. asshole.*
so i thought i'd share some of my favorite vomity doggy stories. score for you, right? right? if day practice in veterinary medicine is all about anal glands? pay attention little sally "i want to be a veterinarian" morton! emergency veterinary medicine is aaaaaaaall about vomiting. vomiting. vomiting. vomiting.
"why is my dog vomiting?" "how long has your dog been vomiting?" "what is in the vomit?" "what color is the vomit?" "did you bring the vomit with you in a little bag to show us the vomit?" eeee! *happy clap!*
we're all about the vomit. and my favorite is: "can we make your dog vomit?" obviously, the one and only answer anyone will want to give ever is, "yes, please!" although usually not that nicely. so when i left my little asshole dogs home alone and not in their designated "houses" FOR TEN MINUTES! and i came home to a whiney dog, with odd behavior i didn't quite get the connection at first and didn't know how much fun i was about to have otherwise i would have been a lot more excited.
yeah, i thought the other one somehow got into the chocolate after we got home and so into the bathroom we went. and proceeded with vomit induction. mmmmm, vomit induction. i was very calm and understanding and loving, pleasant even, while shaking her and watching her finally vomit in the bath tub. "i'm sorry you're such a little dumbass, dear." *loving smile and pat*
just when i thought it was over. i exited the bathroom. i spied another pile of vomit. and i said, "whaaaa....?" turns out the asshole pictured above was the one who had pilfered the chocolate (ps i'm a firm believer in the fact that the chocolate being within reach of those little bastards was COMPLETELY my fault. bad, bad, bad! becky).
that's just about the time that i lost my "cool." this is wear i thought, FUCK! she's gonna die! they're both gonna die! and it's my fault. FUCK! jesus christ! why did i leave them out and now they're gonna die. and i got my serious panic face on my face. and threw that little fucker in the tub after i started to the vomity cascade. i ran out to the vomit carpet. i sucked that up with the most awesome invention ever, the bissel little green wet vac thingy. if you have ever spilled anything ever, you need that thing. if you have an asshole dog you need like seven.
yadda yadda yadda... she didn't die. and the other one didn't die and they both vomited a few more times, whined all day AND peed on the floor. twice. i want to stress [brace yourself: coming up is something i couldn't leave out and probably going to annoy you] that if your dog eats chocolate and you don't happen to have 9 years of veterinary experience PLEASE do something about it and PLEASE at least call a clinic and PLEASE don't think you can solve this yourself. they can die. period. i know, now it's like a double period. actually triple.
speaking of "experience" my favorite kind of vomit at the emergency clinic is the chocolate vomit. one time this dog was yarfing all over the place and i came back to the treatment area and i said, "mmmm, where's the hot chocolate? did we get hot chocolate again? i thought we were out?" dog barf. it's good for the soul. goes well with marshmallows.
*what else did that remind you of? you're gross.

I could never have that job. I would barf.
Happy clap indeed!! How I love dog stories!
I like when they yak so hard they belch. Das kyut.
The pictures really do complete the story!
Oh I saw that first picture and almost created people vomit. But ohhh the dog vomit. My friend's dog ate a package of thin mints, a bag of beef jerkey, a package of twizzlers, and a package of sour cherries a couple weeks ago and I got to experience doggie vomit to the max!

I'm totally picturing that scene from the Office a couple weeks ago where Pam vomits and it makes everyone in the office vomit.
That's what it's like, yes?
I would not be able to handle that. Once Charlie chewed on a bottle of naproxin...and I thought for sure he sampled a few. So off to the vet for a stomach pump. They only found a blueberry.
Later we went to my MIL and he puked that yucky coal stuff on her carpet. Oops!
Hero Vet FTW!
This was the among the top five funny posts I've read in a while! Thanks for that.
BTW the pic of the dog, will all the sad eyes, made me laugh and go "aww" at once. That's not easy, so kudos.
I came here by way of Erin (of the yarn-y hats) and I must agree with her: you have the most fricking awesome eyes ever. Are you polychromatic, or is that just the camera?
*vomits*
Good Story.
*vomits*
Real good.
*vomits*
Chunky too.
I think I just started an uplanned diet. Thank you so much. :)
My dog once got under our Christmas tree while we were out when I was a kid. My mum was a teacher and she'd put a ton of gifts under there she'd received from her students, mostly chocolates. We got home to this giant pile of foul gook on the living room carpet and a sheepish looking dog. The goop was part vomit, part chocolate, park wrapping paper, part god knows what. It was AWESOME in a horrific sort of way. And the dog was FINE after that. No illness at all. I guess she threw it all up right away.
tpt- it takes a special little girl to be unfazed by vomit.
smuk- they do throw their whole furry bodies into it, with gusto!
carol- i thought they added a new dimension. and also? it made me smile amidst all the vomit.
cj- yowza! that dog has good taste :)
ll- every day. except not really. human vomit? yes. dog vomit? cute.
rach- i'm actually just an RVT with a lot of experience not a vet :) and she is a cute little jerkface. that erin! my eyes- one's blue and one's green.
ed- i will thank you to not vomit in my comments section. that will be all. and thank you :)
veg- you are welcome! happy to oblige. that sounds like a lovely xmas present. and i'm glad the dog survived. they do have to eat a good amount milk chocolate to see adverse effects. and crappy milk chocolate? even more
I worked with a vet for 5 years, and we had a corgi come in once that ate 12 chocolate cupcakes... we gave her one of those little Apomorphine tabs you stick in the corner of their eye and she barfed out one BIG cupcake in one giant BLAR motion. It was a force of nature!!
I love that! Chocolate vomit. Way better than I just ate my own faeces vomit. That one...not so pleasant.
Aww I missed this yesterday which is too bad because I do love a good barf story. It's like when my small dog somehow dug a bag of those chewy red treats out from under the car seat and she and my big dog at the. entire. bag. in the 10 minutes I was in the store. They both pooped and vomited runny pinkness for like, 2 days.
Sooo adorable...
*head in hands and rocking back and forth with extreme anxiety*
Life is not like a box of chocolates!
Life is not like a box of chocolates!
sami- apomorphine always squicks me out. *shudder* but that is hilarious.
alex- oh, yeah. much.
jag- just makes you all warm and cuddly inside. :)
eric- sometimes :)
Totally just made my throat get all tight...that is the most revolting puke I think I've ever seen...and we've got 2 dogs
