my little boy jolly had something similar happen today.
we left home to do some shopping, couldn't have been more than 15 minutes, and my gf left her advil bottle on the kitchen counter (she's sick, but even so that was a big mistake!!!!). we came home to find the advil bottle destroyed, and about half of its contents on the floor (the other half, we assume, was inside the dog).
we rushed to the vet, and the little boy got some epimorphine which induces vomitting. he of course spilled his guts in a bucket there, and then was fed about half a pint of active carbon (it's a gooey black liquid that absorbs poisons, and rushes them out through the digestive tract - inducing diharrea)... since then he's been oozing out black liquid all over the floor, and i've been practically chasing him with a mop (he won't go outside, because a.) it's very cold out today; and, b.) the epimorphine has made him drowsy - not to say high as a kite - and he's afraid to go outside).
more to come i guess...
i really hope he'll be ok...
Dizzy ate two Easter baskets full of chocolate last spring and had the same treatment. I'm guessing your dog will be fine, and since you know what is coming you can kind of isolate it. Good luck with that.
I hate to admit it but I was really mad at Dizzy last night, and didn't really forgive her by bedtime and she knew it. At 3:30 am, I hear a panic bark and go running downstairs to let her out. She spent quite a bit of time outside, obvsiously still struggling a bit. I let her in and take her to the back and put the fence up. I then start petting her, and kind of tell her "Good girl" softly and you should have heard the moans of sorrow/pleasure. Like "Oh master, I'm so sorry I made you mad and I'll never do it again. Oh master, I need your attention so badly I will never do anything wrong again". She was so incredibly happy to know that I wasn't going to stay mad at her forever that she almost started weeping.
My dog was a rug muncher when she was younger. If I left her alone for long, she would just go and start chewing carpet somewhere. I had to carefully disguise it when I moved out of my apartment at that time so that I didn't lose my deposit (and furthermore, I never notified them that I had a dog, which required a deposit and an extra $30 or something per month). I bought and clipped up a small throw rug the same color as the carpet, and kinda sprinkled some of it over the chewed up areas. Problem solved.

i was too freakishly scared he's dying to get mad at him. for all i knew advil could be cyanide to dogs (it's not, but it's quite poisonous at the dosage he took).
Why would you get rid of him? It's part of having a pet.
I had the exact same thought.
Yep. It's not like they do it on purpose....they get sick, just like kids, and poo/puke all over, just like kids. You have to learn to deal with it. And, like Jim's dog (and most pets, no doubt), our dog is extremely embarrassed when he has an accident in the house. If we're gone when it happens, when we return home, he'll hide upstairs and not greet us at the door.....we know something happened. It's rare...but it happens. I love our little guy.....gotta take the good with the bad.
Again, Jim, sorry about the mess......but may I congratulate you and your wife on your beautiful new floors! Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!

You are right about the pet not wanting to do it. I couldn't help myself last night, I was mad and let her know it. My wife was much more rationale, explaining to me that the reason she went in the rooms that she did was to be as far away from her den and the family room where we spend the most time. Each room she messed, she probably couldn't get herself to go back in there out of shame. So when she had to go again, she went to a new room. So her intentions probably were good, but they caused more problems.
My dog has gotten the runs in my bedroom a couple times but nothing like that. Sounds awful. It's amazing how much dogs get their paws into you. My dog has the power to make me unreasonably angry or very happy.
