Years later the dog still eats all sorts of things including wrapped items. It'seems amazing the animal is still alive considering the potential toxins, intestinal blockages and the like. I will monitor him after his most recent compost was excursion and imagine my lovable garbage dog will be fine and that this DOO shall pass.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-62026840972436335032014-08-04T10:37:07.797-05:002014-08-04T10:37:07.797-05:00Our dog nearly died as well, from eating rotting t...Our dog nearly died as well, from eating rotting tomatoes in the compost bin. So violently ill, she could not move out of her own diarrhea or vomit, was skin and bones, right on deaths doorstep and knocking at the door. We were, luckily, able to save her but found out a week later that she was completely blind. the severe bacterial infection had shriveled up the bloods vessels to her eyeballs and she went 100% blind. That was 12 years ago when she was one year old and she is now a cranky 13 year old girl ... and still gets into trouble.

It is actually the a fungus that is poisonous that can be present in your heap whilst it is rotting down. A substance known as tremorgenic mycotoxin, if injested your dog could have a deadly reaction. Shannon, I made the mistake of assuming it's fine! But this time it was not. So just be wary and do not let your Dog eat from it. Take it from me..it really is not nice waiting to find out if he is going to pull through or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-87297106596751167952011-04-03T20:47:39.812-05:002011-04-03T20:47:39.812-05:00Hey Professor,

My Standard Poodle used to love eating right out of the Milorganite bag, every potted plant I had, and he'd "clean up" the piles of Amdro I applied to the ant hills. He obviously thought it was good stuff - with no ill-effects. It got so he had to be kept on a short leash in the yard after I treated for fire ants. He would eat ANYthing.sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-85963671579605823632011-04-03T09:02:32.069-05:002011-04-03T09:02:32.069-05:00I would never leave my dog alone outside long enou...I would never leave my dog alone outside long enough for either of them to get into the compost. I don't know if you've noticed, but they are not good judges when it comes to good eats.

Of course, this dog once ate a soapy brillo pad with no ill effects, so he may be a mutant. <br /><br />In addition to "poisoning", I would think that bowel obstructions might be a problem with eating compost, too. I used to work in veterinary medicine as a technician, the amount (and variety) of foreign objects we pulled out of dogs was astounding!A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.com
