RE: how to make your dog throw up - quantities

[Nancy Melone]

For a 26 lbs puppy, the 1 TBS qty is what emergency vets told me.  For a
bitch around 75-80 lbs, I was told 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide.  The puppy
laped it up in no time and we acheived the goal.  On the other hand, we
never did succeed in getting my wise girl to drink the stuff -- in fact, it
was all over us, the laundry room walls, the floor, everywhere -- and narry
a drop passed over her lips!  Fortunately, she did not exhibit any signs of
poisoning.

When I was on the road, I was responsible for someone else's dog whom the
owner had suspected had consumed chocolate.  It took me 3 tries to get him
to vomit. Administer Hydrogen Peroxide, wait 10 minutes, administer HP, wait
10 minutes, etc.  Fortunately, it came up on the third try -- sure enough,
there were a few Hersey's kisses there...probably not enough to hurt, but
the owner felt better, if not the dog!

I can't remember whose dog it was.  At one of the Bernese Weekends at
Shirley Chong's a Berner gulped down a glove before any of us could react
and grab it.  Really was amazing as the pup had to gulp big to get it down.
A bit of peroxide later up it came no worse for wear.  The dog was fine and
we continued with training.

I think it was there that it was recommended you carry a turkey baster or
something similar along with the peroxide so you can squirt it down their
throats if need be.
