RandomGuy. Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Poor dog has managed to get a tiny wee tick right next to his eye. Got advice from girlfriends dad whos owned dogs for 40+ years, and he reckons its too small to be harmful, and that our best bet, due to where it is, is to leave it alone for a day or two and take it to the vets if the dog starts showing any unusual behaviour. Not really sure why I'm posting this, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our last dog would pick up ticks and due to him having his head in everything they were usually around his head area, we were always told by vet and other people to get them off as soon as you notice them. They obviously start off small then get much bigger as they keep feeding. But the ones we found on the dog were generally a decent size by the time we found them so it was easier to get the tweezers on them and pull them out (well so the wife told me as I hated trying to pull them, I was chief dog holder and I did a top job at that I was told.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrasting advice I'm off work all week so will keep an eye on it, if it gets bigger or he starts acting weird I'll take a trip to the vet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were tidied, then I had to fit a Firestick to the back of the TV, the whole situation turned to shite due to the rickety DVD cabinet next to the TV and everything was launched Dog doesn't nibble on them at all tbf, prefers the wooden steps I've got at my back door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet is right next to the missus' work, so I'm popping in this morning to see what they say about it, first time we've had this with him so better to be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Pets, who'd have them? Left Ruby alone in the house for a couple of hours yesterday. We've done this before and she's always been good. Not yesterday though. Yesterday she got into one of my wife's bags and decided to chew through some stuff. Eye liner, pen, box of tampons, then I see a paracetamol pack and two tablets on the floor. Three missing from pack. No idea whether we'd used them or she'd eaten them. Rushed to local vet who got her to vomit. No sign of any tablets but that shit is designed to be absorbed quickly. Then rushed to 24hr vet hospital for some extensive treatment and an overnight stay on a drip. Everything seems to be OK and she's not exhibiting any signs of poisoning so they released her today. Just have to nip back to the vet for a final injection and she can get the catheter out and collar off. She's obviously OK because she was dancing about looking for some cooked chicken at teatime there then hobbling about the garden barking at shadows as usual. Little bitch had us fecking worried there though. I could tell from the vets' reactions that one tablet, let alone three, would have probably been game over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did the right thing, you can never be too careful when dogs eat weird stuff, one of the dogs i walk regularly ate human shit last week in the park, from experience i knew it was probably junkie shit (bit of a problem in certain parts of Amsterdam) within 30 minutes he was acting and looking out of it, straight to the vets who did their thing and he recovered completely, dogs eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
