Does your dog eat strange things?

Yes he loves to eat rocks. He has been at the doctors several times in order to have enemas to get them out. Luckily we have not had to cut him open to get them out. But he loves bugs too. Begs to go outside at night because he knows the light is on and bugs will be everyone. He probably eats 100 june bugs a day. Crazy thing.

One of my dogs likes to eat pancakes made from fermented gram batter (like a sour dough). While she goes mad for them snapping pieces out of my fingers, my other dog wont touch it.

I have a Pom/Snow Dog mix that as a puppy would eat all kinds of stuff. She had a passion for dirty underwear... thankfully she either passed or regurgitated them. Once I brought home a basket of candy from Mexico. She found it and ate all of the candy and half the basket. The worst thing was a soda can. I found half of a chewed up can and realized she ate the rest... It was late at night and the vet was not open. I watched her for any sign of distress thinking the shards of aluminum would surely cut up her insides or would poison her. No sign of distress but she had really icky looking BM for a couple of days and then everything was normal. She must have really strong stomach acid. I was so glad when she out grew chewing or eating everything.

My friend's dog has eaten a whole roll of paper towels and had some kind of internal obstruction where they thought they'd have to operate. As it turned out, they kept him on IV fluids and he passed it all out of his system within a few days, luckily. I've seen dogs get into used diapers and sanitary napkins. Once I found my dog getting ready to eat some of his own excrement outside! EWW!

Bizarre, no, but I thought it odd when my mother's dog used to eat the currants off the bushes. No dog involved in this story, but thinking about the farm made me think about their free range chickens. One of the chickens had eaten a rubber band and had partly eliminated it. Another chicken must have thought that was a worm hanging from the other chickens behind, Anyway, she kept trying to get it. When she would lose her grip on the rubber band, it would snap back and hit the first chicken.

My dog once ate a rabbit. Let me explain: we live on a horse farm and apparently overnight a rabbit got stuck in the fence around our house. When we let Katie out for her morning business, we noticed she was gone a while. I looked outside and said to hubby "what does she have in her mouth?" He went out, came back wretching. It was a bunny. We got rid of bunny and called vet. She said because Katie weighed over 50 lbs she was probably fine, but to keep an eye on her. She ended up being fine and had no problems. Although Mommy had a hard time kissing her after the bunny incident, we soon got over it. Her grandpa (my Dad) called her Cujo for a while. Now she sticks to the usual quirks, she loves weeds, sticks and bricks. She could spend hours with a stick. She is 1 1/2 so she has actually outgrown a lot of it now. Great question by the way!
