Worst Pet Mess

[hatredisnotavalue]

My 10-mo Golden Retriever consumed an entire 1/2 pint of real Maine maple syrup yesterday.
Now this little guy won't even touch the Little Friskies, he knows not to eat anything that isn't his. ( I will admit I give him a taste of my pancakes once a week, just to watch his eyes roll back in his head, truly loving the liquid gold.)
Honest to God, he stole the container, which was a present, took it out in the yard, broke the safety plastic seal and the inner seal and drank it down. I caught him the yard with his head tilted to the sky, sucking down the syrup. I wrestled the container away from him and discovered it was empty.
Called the vet, said he would probably just have the poops.

Fast forward, 3 a.m. the heaves. He threw up five times the contents of an elephant's stomach. And the smell....Pancakes, french toast are now banned in this family and no more Belgian Waffles.

He is fine today, but his breath reekes. Anyone else got a similar story?
Here is a picture of him and today's applicable Get Fuzzy.

1. Nope, that's got any story I had beat.

:rofl:

2. I have the ultimate pet mess

My dog ate half a bag of Oreos.. Imagine liquid black diarrhea for two strait days, inside on the carpet. I still have the carpet stains to prove it. It was awful.

4. You know if I had to choose

I would pick vomit over poop. Poor you.:(

3. That is just nasty... ugh - poor you...

I have a 13-year-old cat named Hepburn who will eat any plant in the house. He ate a bunch of ficus leaves last week, wound up in the hospital after two days of projectile vomiting around four rooms of my house. With x-rays, fluids, meds and the hospital stay, it was $450.

Then on Monday the radiologist called to say he thought Hepburn had "abnormal bowel loops," so back he goes for a $260 thoracic and abdominal ultrasound (he also thought he saw a heart problem with on the x-ray). Now, I'm glad that all went well, but the guy tells me, "He's the healthiest 13-year-old cat I've ever seen!" $700 later... :spank:

8. No you win

There is nothing worst than cat puke...and a $700 bill! God aren't we suckers?!

[flamingyouth]

10. I'm actually adopting another cat tomorrow!

How crazy is that?! I need to be put away. :D

[hatredisnotavalue]

24. You should be committed!

JK What would our world be like if every one was as kind-hearted as you? :) Good for you. I hope you have many grand years with your new pet.

9. My cat is named Hepburn!

I thought it was a fairly unique name. Oh well. :) Glad your Hep is okay. Mine hasn't been to the vet her entire life, she's the healthiest animal I've ever met.

[flamingyouth]

11. Is your Hepburn in the DU pets gallery?

I've never heard of another cat named Hepburn. I think it's a great name for a cat. :D

[tridim]

12. Yep, Here she is..

[flamingyouth]

15. She's gorgeous! Beautiful markings!

:D

5. I used to work in a dog kennel

Picture 76 dogs all sick with some sort of intestinal bug - both ends going at once. I cannot describe the smell. :shudder:

[tridim]

6. That's a nightmare scenario

Did you have to hose the whole place down?

7. Gideon hurls on me to show affection

But the biggest mess he ever produced was when he tore up a futon and a lamp. Total cost was more than $200.

Huntington, on the other hand, is minimally destructive...he chewed big holes in a sheet once, but that was it.

13. Ate a bad deer

Yep my Border Collie (Ms. Kelly Dog), got a hold of my neighbors deer that was hanging in a tree and pulled a whole "haunch" off (this was a deer he killed and was hanging up to drain the blood out of in his yard, she did not go kill a deer, nor did he have a live one tied to a tree). In any event, think of how sick a dog can get eating say 40 plus pounds of raw meat. I ended up removing all the carpet and the pads from the whole house, no way to even Begin to clean the carpets, to just tossed the whole mess. I also had the dang windows open in November with the heat on in an attempt to air out the house. On the bright side I discovered I had hard wood floors, so now I just have a few small area rugs resting on my wood floors.

[hatredisnotavalue]

16. Okay

You win, that must have been absolutely awful. Maple syrup isn't something that would make me puke in its pure sense, but uncooked meat////,,,that was the best (worst?) story yet. Poor you.

14. Well Stella let me know the Honeymoon is over

I gave her a bath 2 weeks ago, and she pissed buckets at the foot of the bed we share. She woke up in the middle of the night to do the same a couple of nights later. It turns out she also shat at the foot of the bed and pissed on my Chinese rug in the hallway and on a rug in the bathroom. I just needed more training.

And a day or so ago, she pooped in the bathroom and puked on the sofa. Makes me glad I enforce the 'Lay on the Towel" rule. And she pooped in the bathroom, cuz her tummy was upset. I was happy she went down to the bathroom to do her business.

17. Once my cat ate some daffodil leaves.

I used to grow a lot of bulb flowers during the wintertime. I loved the fragrance and it made everything look cheery. I grew a kind called "Hoop and Petticoat" a miniature variety, whose leaves look like grass. I didn't think about how the leaves look like cat grass (for the uninitiated, cat owners give their cats small containers of growing wheatgrass, which aids their digestion). Daffodils are a poisonous flower-leaves, flowers, bulbs, and roots-so if you don't already know, keep your pets away from these plants.

One day, I came home and saw what looked like oatmeal in a spray pattern on the walls and doors, about cat-height. Fecal matter had been squirted in a spray over at least 5 walls. In the halls (carpeted, of course) were pools of a lumpy slurry swirled with blood streaks, and in the kitchen, several pools of clear vomit the consistency of thick KY were mixed with bits of daffodil leaves. My cat was hiding underneath the bathroom sink, and wouldn't let me touch him. I knew right away what had happened, and took him to the vet immediately. Poor little guy (he was only about a year old) was so sick.

I just had to let it run its course. He drank lots of water and it came out both ends. Ewww. I haven't grown flowers of any type in my house since then.

Do I win? Huh?

[hatredisnotavalue]

19. Okay you win....

I can just imagine you looking at the bedlam and wondering when it was going to end....You are a great animal friend to have put up with it...;)

23. It's not hard. He is a wonderful, well-behaved cat

that I got as a rescued kitten. He'd been born from an abandoned litter of 6; 2 others had died of starvation. My sister got him for me. She works in a department of SFPD, and one of the officers she knows gives animals she finds to the Oakland Pet Rescue Society. He weighed .80lbs when I got him, and he was already 6 weeks old. He came with all sorts of bugs inside and out, and after I acquired him, he went straight to the vet where we got him in perfect health with medication and patience. His only sick day was the one I mentioned above. It all balances out, doesn't it?

[hatredisnotavalue]

27. Yes it does

The saddest thing about my episode was that Boodah just looked so darn scared when he was throwing up. My heart was just breaking. There was no way I could have been mad. I even brought him back to bed with me after he finished puking. Poor little guy...

18. My sister had a dobie named Pagan. He got into the rat poison so

instead of calling a vet, she called me. (???) So, I called CDC and then whipped up a dozen raw eggs and poured an entire bottle of mineral oil into it. He ate it down gang busters and then went outside. Nothing happened. He stood around not dying but he spent all his time looking at his butt and watching mineral oil leak out of it. Very funny, that big puppy. :evilgrin:

[hatredisnotavalue]

21. you win the prize for the most

description easiest to envision....God that must have been a hoot.

[roguevalley]

25. He just stood there staring and then walking around in a circle

trying to get closer. He was so darned cute. I also have a great vision of the bird flying upside down. Funny bird stories slay me.

[amazona]

20. one time

My bird drank a mouthful of Drambui and he flew upside-down. But at least it didn't leave a mess, although I suspect his head was a little heavy the next morning. No more alcohol where birds can get at it in this house...

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

22. That reminds me of a bit of animal trivia I heard once

In Africa, there are trees that produce fruit, but the fruit doesn't drop on the ground, as most fruit trees. Instead, the fruit will ripen on the tree, then finally, rot, and in fact, ferment. The natural sugars produce alcohol, and elephants, after they've sampled enough of it, get drunk. For days after gorging on the trees, elephants can be seen stumbling about, swinging their trunks around, and wailing like "a broken Al Hirt record."

26. This thread is funny and disgusting at the same time

I have a kitty at home with diahrrea. I'll let you know what I find when I get there.

a few weeks ago one of the cats missed the box and my boyfriend stepped in cat poop with his bare feet. He didn't even notice but he was trailing it all over my apt. ewwww. :puke:

[hatredisnotavalue]

28. I don't think there is a pet owner alive

that hasn't stepped and trailed at some point in their lives. It comes with the territory....Good luck with your kitty!
