Reply #45: My sis had an elkhound/coyote hybrid (don't ask) who ate a bowl of fruit off the table

It was artificial fruit. She was fine, and had very colorful poops for a spell.

Then, there was that huge bowl of cookies she stole. Climbed up on the counter to reach top of fridge for that too. She had food issues.

Vet gave my sister a book on emergency dog first aid, with page on opening stomach bookmarked. Said the coyote in her might someday force the issue and require opening her belly fast to avoid rupture. Never had to do it, and dog was put down at a very ripe old age, due to spinal degeneration paralyzing her hind quarters. She had a very fun life.
