Anyone have a Dog/Dogs?

[just joe]

I can't imagine ever regretting trying to do something about a situation that you discovered that could be dangerous to your own family (Inc pets) and others.

If you don't at least try to improve it then you may regret it later.

Not that them paying $200 will necessarily change how they treat their dog, but it's a step toward awareness and starts more discussion about the problem.

Of course there may be a lot of details/past experiences with those people that I'm not aware of so take it with a grain of salt. I just think that's there is a better option than shrugging it off.

If they know about the attack and didn't offer to help than they are douche bags plain and simple. It sucks the trashiest people always seem to own pits, gives the poor dogs a bad name.

Ive only lived here for about 1/2 a year. No issues with the neighbors other than they dont take care of their property on their dog sh!ts all over my side yard and they dont clean it up. They were very apologetic when the attack happened but never once offered anything.
There are a ton of kids of all sizes walking with their parents or riding bikes. It could be a bad situation.

I've always said that dumb a$$es shouldn't have kids. This applies to dogs as well.

Well, the vet said his pancreas levels are super high, he has chicken bones in his stomach, and he has arthritis in hes rear legs... Hes got to stay over night and i owe $1k to the Doc. Jeez. Could be worse i guess..

Could be worse! That's was savings accounts and sell-able assets are for! Doggy needs a new knee? Bye Bye Matty J's dirtbike.

Umm, why would chicken bones be a problem? Pancreas levels could be due to the added enzymes needed to digest bones perhaps? My dogs food has whole chicken bones in it, not sure how that would cause a problem. Unless he's just not used to eating it so it upsets his stomach.

Chicken bones are terrible for dogs in the human form because they can splinter and puncture the stomach.

But if he got them down, that's the first worry..digestion should do the rest..more of a choking hazard than anything.

 

[SmittySX]

I guess they scratched his throat and were stuck in his stomach but didnt puncture anything. They said he should be able to pass them and wont need surgery.

 

[paczowski123]

Where did he even get them?

KFC. Because not even a dog would eat Popeye's chicken.

Seems the opposite around my parts..KFC is greasy soggy nasty brown chicken, and Popeyes is far superior..however, none compare to some good ole Bojangs..

 

[SmittySX]

Man, i dont know.. We never leave food out. Especially bones. Always bagged and thrown away out side.

Up here Popeye's is basically batter dipped bones. And if you do get lucky enough to get some with meat on it, it might as well be chicken jerky because it's so tough and dry. In all honesty, I can't eat KFC either, unless of course I am sitting on the toilet while doing so. TMI?

Sorry to hear about your dog. Pitbulls are banned in parts of Canada for this reason.

Sorry to hear that. I feel horrible for you and have been there before. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Here are my pups. Unfortunately I lost Cain, the black one, a year ago. Thankfully he gave me 10 amazing years. In his 10 years he gave me a million challenges. Attacked by dogs 3 times. Ate whole order of chicken wings twice. Ate 24 chocolate cupcakes. Had an extremely rare fungal infection only present in the Mississippi valley which cost him his eye and me $1,000s in surgery and medication. After all this it was a heart attack while he slept that took him. I still miss him so much.

What I learned from the attacks. Cain thought every dog was his friend. They were not. One time the owners of the other dogs offered to pay for everything right off the bat and did. They were nice people and felt really bad and even called to check how he was. Another time I threatened to sue after trying nicely first they eventually paid. The 3rd time the owners were jerks and I know they wouldn't have paid. Luckily for everyone is was just one deep gash in his leg and I got it healed up on my own.

Food wise I learned hydrogen peroxide will make a dog throw up any poisonous food the dog has consumed. As for chicken bones not that it helps now but anyone who has this happen in the future make a ton of rice add scrambled egg and canned chicken then feed as much as you can to your dog. The theory is, and it worked both times for me, is to feed them so much soft food that the sharp bones will travel through their digestive tract encased in the rice and therefore not do any damage.

Sorry to hear that Matt. As others have said, I would go atleast look for the $200 to be paid by the neighbors. Hope he heals up soon.

My good buddies GF works at the vet we took kevin to. She texted and said that they cant get him to eat and that if wed like we can come up and see if he will eat for us and that we can take him home if he does. I go up there with a bag of carrots and he ate them all. The Dr comes in and says that she has to physically see him eat on his own for him to be released... She coudnt give me a good enough explanation of why he had to stay they night again at $150 a night plus the cost of the iv and crap. So, i took him home and hes chowing down just fine.

Thanks for all the kind words dudes.

Glad your pup is doing well. Find a vet you can trust, after all they are a business in it to make money and overnight stays seem like easy money.
