Dogs are so gross!

[sjdavenport]

I have another one. Oliver (Roy) is my megaesophagus boy. He eats ground up food mixed with canned and water so it goes down easier with gravity. Sometimes that makes for soft stools. Soft stools mean anal gland issues. So one night we were all sleeping, the dog up by my head, when I hear Roy licking himself. I go to move him so I didn't have to hear his mouth noises and something wet gets on my arm. Hell, I'm not thinking at 2am. I promptly lean down to sniff it and put my nose in anal gland juice. OMG, it was so disgusting. Why did I do that? So not only did I have to wash myself, but I had to make DH get up so I could strip the bed. Horrible. Just horrible.

If only I didn't know exactly what this was like.....if only.

Well, the ME won't get better. We're lucky he doesn't need a Bailey Chair to eat. I can just have the right consistency and feed him with a fork while he stands looking up at me. He has to eat three times a day, smaller meals, with the last meal being about 9pm. Any earlier with the last meal and he has acid reflux. The late meal means he has to poo every night between 2am and 3am, without fail. The anal glands also depend on his poo, so I really should have been expecting it. This is my little Toot-toot Roy. His cuteness is his salvation. sjdavenport, I'm sure you do know. My youngest daughter is a tech and in tech school. She gets to do lots of anal glands. At least as a vet you'll be able to hand that task to someone else. Haha.

I learned to never dispose of used feminine products in anything but a locked trash can years ago - the hard way. We had friends over for dinner when the shepherd/lab cross came trotting into the dining room with the "appetizer" she picked out of the bathroom trash in her mouth. Yay.

So back to worms again...my friend who is a rescue doula had a new mom from very remote area, and the day she came into rescue, she passed a worm the width of a garter snake that was about 4 feet long and aggressive as a any thing, it seemed. The thing was halfway out and momma dog was flying around the barn trying to run away from this thing coming out her bum.... It was like a scene from Stargate, or something.

OMG worm stories are just so gross. I recently read on facebook how this man almost died because he had a damn worm in his brain and then today I saw a video on facebook on a surgery to remove a worm from someone's eyeball!!!! So I wondered if worms could get into your body if you accidentally rubbed your eyes if you had worm infected feces on your hands, not on purpose of course.

I fed my dogs salmon skin and it gave them both horrible gas. I walked into the living room and felt like I walked into a biological war zone. :yuck:

OMG I WAS RIGHT!!! I found a pile of poop on the hardwood floor behind the couch and I remember him going back there earlier. Muttley, you're lucky you're cute and you're hurt.....why why why why.

Oh wow, I just had the best laugh reading the gross dog stories!! Boxergirl, the story about Al still has me laughing!! Spirit, who initially didn't want to eat much, wasn't interested in treats even, has begun to develop her appetite. I still have NO idea how she managed it, we watch her like hawks, but she ate four whole ankle socks! After throwing up the first two, we thought we were past the worst of it. But, could still feel a lump in her tummy, took her to the vet, then home to induce vomiting. Up came two more whole socks! This was all within a two day period. Plus she later ate one of my essential oil chapsticks that must have gotten knocked on the floor. I knew because when she puked, it smelled like orange and peppermint. I never in a million years would have imagined myself smelling dog vomit and realizing this is the reason I cannot find my damn chapstick!

Oh, one more.....we had a sheltie (RIP Allie) who LOVED "kitty crunchies"! Her fav thing was to get into the cats litter box and eat the litter coated cat shit. I caught her many times, bold as hell, just munching away. We ended up moving the box into a closet, putting a cloth in the door at the top so it couldn't close all the way, and then a chain on the door. The opening was big enough for the cats to get in, but kept the dog out, lol.
