Gomez the Norfolk Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 This morning we came back from breakfast to find that Gomez had eaten a piece of a bar of soap, deodorant and moisturizing, nonetheless :D Furthermore, his water dish was almost empty I spoke to the vet and poison control and both said keep an eye on him, may be some bubbly vomiting or runny poos... He's running around like a loony and being normal, so for now, all is well... Surely some other dog has eaten a bar of soap before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yes I have had a few fosters who have eaten whole small bars of soap - especially the fruity ones. Have had no ill effects with them except now the soap lives elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggy_puggy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Sorry but the thought of Gomez giving his insides a rinse with soap is a little amusing. :D Hope he has no ill effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sezy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 What have my dogs not eaten would be a shorter list... Just think his insides will be nice and soft and clean now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Velvet soap was once used regularly as a wormer for dogs. I know many people who used to give a small amount of Velvet soap (size of a 10 c piece) to working farm dogs as thier only method for worming. Don't think I would be too worried about dogs eating soap today - but with all the varieties around now - not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomez the Norfolk Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks all, he has been running around all afternoon and so far no ill effects - I keep waiting to see him bubbling away... He even had the energy to stalk a squirrel today, and as Sezy has seen, that takes a lot of concentration!!! I'm glad to see he is not the only one with an appetite for soap :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see he is not the only one with an appetite for soap I can't believe that I went all the way round the world to meet Gomez and all he did was stalk squirrels..... I miss New York!! If he starts to bubble we want pic's. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes I have had a few fosters who have eaten whole small bars of soap - especially the fruity ones.Have had no ill effects with them except now the soap lives elsewhere! Yep - my BC Fergus (:rolleyes: 23/19/09) was a soap eater. Didn't ever seem to do him any harm. Kirra has occasionally had a go, but current boy Rory doesn't seem interested - so I guess the soap could go back in the soap dish now. Now, the toilet brush set is a whole nother matter with Rory. there's always something .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sezy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 He loved you before we got to park! But squirrels trump everything, even food! He is a great little dog and after meeting him I can see why he has such a huge fan club... It was great to get my doggie fix while missing my own two.

dancinbcs Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have had a few that liked to lick soap but Gina took the cake literally. :rolleyes: She scoffed a whole bar of Solvol soap and then vomitted up soapy slime and bubbles complete with the sandy grit that is in the Solvol to scour grease from hands. Didn't do her any harm at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Helena Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm sorry, but this thread is really funny!! One good thing about chi-chis is that they can't reach most things they shouldn't have Hope Gomez is OK ...... Nice and clean on the inside, top to bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Trust Gomez to do it in style! My dogs eat poo, yours eats soap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez the Norfolk Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Oh yeah, style! Well, so far no bubbles or pukies, just a few mostly whole pieces of the soap in his poo today, good thing he doesn't chew his food or stuff, just chomps and swallows! ay ay ay... I think they know we get so worried and they do it on purpose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_Louise Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sorry but I can't help but giggle everytime i read the title of your thread I do hope Gomez is okay and doesn't sud up too much inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez the Norfolk Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Oh Kelly_Louise, giggle away, I can giggle now because he seems to be fine, but yesterday afternoon I wasn't giggling!! He's not one of the dogs that chews on things or eats remotes and cell phones, so the fact that he pulled out the bar of soap from the trash can while we were out was totally out of character! Now I'm giggling at the thought of Gomez walking down the street blowing bubbles from his tail! Miss Helena, to complete the picture he got groomed also, so he's really clean, inside and out!
