Major Vent (and a little TMI)

I went to my MILs house yesterday to celebrate DH grandmother's 92nd (yes 92nd) birthday.

He has these ridiculously obnoxious cousins & uncle, who feed their dog everything under the sun - cheese doodles, chocolate, you name it they give it to them.

Needless to say, I am not thrilled with this practice & have told them before not to give my dogs table food. If we choose to give our pups a treat, it will be in their dish & something that will not hurt them. Well, about 1 hour into the party, I see DHs idiot uncle give my 5 month old Shiba Inu puppy buttercream frosting & then find out he already gave him peanuts and strawberries!!!!

I was so pissed & made a huge deal of it. Everyone at the party got mad, but an hour later my poor little puppy got the runs & bad...uncontrollable bad. The jerk has the nerve to complain that the smell is ruining his appetite the poor pup has been in agony now for about 10 hours & goes every 15 minutes or so. He is even bleeding a little now from all the 'friction'(sorry for TMI). My vet flipped out & yelled because she saw the strawberries in his stool. (My MIL had to take him to the vet). So my Vet allegedly (I don't know exactly what was said, because I was not there) threatens to call animal protective services, because he thinks we are mistreating our dog!

Oh no! I hope your Shiba puppy feels better soon. Sandys tummy cant handle people food either. We have to be careful with her dog food to.

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

I completely agree with you! Some of that stuff could kill your dog! How dare people think that it is okay to just give your dog anything they want!

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

that's so messed up! your poor dog. i hope he's feeling better.

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

That's HORRIBLE!!! i hope your little guy feels better soon!

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

What morons! Sorry stuff like that just drives me crazy! I wonder if they would pull something like that again if u sent them the vet's bill.

Hope he feels better really soon!!

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

I would have kicked his uncle's @SS!!! The smell is ruining his appetite???? I would have put the source of the smell on his plate for him!! Some people can be so stupid!! As for the Vet~she/he is there for you and shouldn't call to report you!!!! More stupidity!!!! OMG...you need a

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

That's disgusting!!!
Why do people think they can do whatever they please with other people's pets?
I hope your puppy feel better soon!!!

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

Ugggghhhhh!!! I would be furious!!! Your poor baby

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

Sorry for the added vent...I hope the puppy is feeling better, and you too!

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

How is your puppy feeling today?

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

Oh My Gosh....thank you everyone for your responses! I am glad to know that I was not overreacting...

The puppy is OK today....the vet did not give him anything for fear that it may further aggravate his system, and just told us to keep giving him the boiled chicken and rice. His stool is still loose, but it is normal color & there is no blood as of last night. The Vet gave him a little salve for his puppy bottom, and he is not crying anymore when he 'goes.'

I am still really upset with what went on...not only was it incredibly disrespectful on soooo many levels, but totally dangerous to my dog.

DH is still really aggravated, and he took a messed peepee pad & put it in their mailbox with the vet bill. I thought the vet bill on it's own would have gotten the point across, but DH is a little vengeful at times...

Thank you everyone for your & your support for Loki.

I missed it...what happened to your fur baby?

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

oops

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

I used explicit lanuage towards your relatives and hoped that they get fed something that gives them the same symptoms but the way I worded it was a little vulgar. I was so upset for your puppy. I am so happy he is doing well.

Re: Major Vent (and a little TMI)

I like your DH more than I ever did after hearing his reaction!
Completely understandable!!!

On an aside....I love the name Loki . TOm used to have a kitten named Loki and she was the sweetest thing that has ever lived.....but she got very sick and died....but I still LOVE that name

Glad your Loki is feeling better!
