We always keep hydrogen perocide in the car for fish poisoning. Force about a teaspoon down the dog's throat and he will puke withing a minute. Then make sure that he drinks lotsa water.
Have never had to use it, thank dog.

make sure it is the 3 percent hydrogen peroxide that you buy in the drug store.

if it is the 6 percent hydrogen peroxide that they use on hair you will kill the dog

Is it illegal for Mexican people to take the shells too? If so, how come there is so much jewelry made from the shells in Loreto. I know a Mexican that has thousands of them in his front yard. He is about three houses away from the local police station. He takes them to Tijuana and New Mexico where they are made into beautiful jewelry. Also, what is so bad about disturbing the graveyards of the world? Gosh, people are just dying to get in there.



If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Thanks for clarifying that Bruce.
Being a natural blond, I never even thought that anyone would feed a dog that stuff.

It's a fishing license thing, I think. Non-resident licenses only allow taking of finfish. The prohibition on taking shells is included with the prohibition of taking shrimp, lobsters, and clams. I'm not sure if the law is an environmental/conservation law, or economic protectionism for the benefit of the locals, who I believe are allowed to take what they want.

I wouldn't want to get caught transporting commercial quantities of sea shells in Mexico, though. :o

Bajajudy, I hope you never have to use that peroxide!! Our dog once ate a whole batch of choclate chip cookies -- way too much dark chocolate for a dog. The vet said to give him peroxide, then watch him closely for several hours. He barfed all over the yard, and we thought nothing more could possibly come up. I had a plane to catch, so in order to continue watching him, we put him in the back seat and drove off. It was my good fortune to be the one flying that day, because Don had a carfull of the vilest barf we had ever seen to deal with. It seemed as though Fillmore, who was about three years at the time, had retained everything he had eaten in his entire life for the occasion.:barf:

We had to give that hydrogen peroxide treatment to our young chocolate lab last year because of something she ate on our beachfront. She barfed and barfed...everywhere, but I think it saved her life.

Her litter mate, Eygpt, survived too. We called her Eygpt because whenever she visited a room, she left a pyramid.

You may groan if you like.
