Guest Maeby Fünke Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Are gumnuts toxic for dogs? Lately, Poppy has started eating these tiny little gumnuts that she finds in the backyard and on our walks. She sniffs them out of the grass and gobbles them down like kibble. It's become a bit of an obsession for her. I'm worried because she had diarrhea yesterday (though today her poos are fine)... Maybe it was the gumnuts? How on earth am I going to get her to stop eating them? They're everywhere! The strange thing is, she never did this before. eta Actually it wasn't diarrhea, it was just soft poo, but it still made me worry.

~Anne~ Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't fret, Monte has been eating them for years. They come out the other end quite easily. Edited February 23, 2013 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vet told me a story about a client's Pug who rattled when she shook him... When they x-rayed him, he had 40 stones in his tummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was in NSW I'd swear they were referring to Monte! :laugh: We blocked his access to the stones and removed them from areas he could still get to so he stopped eating them. I used to tap his belly and you could hear them clicking against each other. Edited February 23, 2013 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
