It seems like common sense, but some people think it's "no big deal". The day after thanksgiving someone gave my dog table scraps and he got soooo sick. He ended up having diarrhea in the house (my bedroom, no less!) and required a $350 trip to the vet for medications to stop the diarrhea and make him comfortable. It totally sucked for everyone!!!

Imodium works great for diarrhea in dogs...ask me how I know. Pepto also works if you can get it down their throats. We have several Syringes just for that.

Her daddy left a beer at nose level, she got into it and drank most of it down. Nothing wrong with her, she went right to sleep...snored that night to!. But at a party of mine, someone left a pretty heavy liquored up drink at nose level (not that greyhounds are tiny mind you!) being it was sweet and fruity, oh yeah she got her self some of that! tippled her butt to bed after about 20 minutes but boy she became VERY FRIENDLY for a while
