What was wrong with your dog??
That can't be right for just a check up (and shots, i assume?), no?

I know Vets are so expensive.  The thing I don't understand is that back home people feed their pets human food and they have them for years. 

I use to care for mine a lot and she had issues :(

"Macademia nuts, raw and roasted
Why? The toxic compound is unknown.
Symptoms: Tremors, weakness and temporary paralysis of the hindquarters. Affected dogs are often unable to rise and are distressed, usually panting. Some affected dogs have swollen limbs and show pain when the limbs are manipulated.
What to do: Though these symptoms are painful, they usually don't last very long. Still, take your pet to the vet."


My dog had exactly these symptoms, a couple of years ago. The vet never figured out what went wrong. He sure charged me like he did hmm.gif

Foods You Should Never Give Your Dog

Thursday May 22, 2008
CityNews.ca Staff

They may be man's best friend but they certainly shouldn't be eating man's favourite foods.
Though dogs beg adorably for table scraps, there are many things on that plate that pose a danger to canines.

Chocolate's a well-known toxin, but did you know broccoli is also off limits? 

Forbidden foods:

Chocolate
Why? It contains a toxin called theobromine. 
Symptoms:  Vomiting, diarrhea or hyperactivity. As time passes, the dog's heart rate increases. This can can cause arrhythmia, restlessness, hyperactivity, muscle twitching, increased urination or excessive panting; and these lead to hyperthermia, muscle tremors, seizures, coma and even death.
What to Do: Induce vomiting, then call your vet.

Onions and garlic
Why? They contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. That can cause red blood cells to burst inside the body.
Symptoms: Vomiting and diarrhoea. No interest in food. Will be dull and weak. Reddish urine. Breathlessnees.
What to do: See a vet immediately.
*Note: onions are much more toxic than garlic.

Macademia nuts, raw and roasted
Why? The toxic compound is unknown.
Symptoms: Tremors, weakness and temporary paralysis of the hindquarters. Affected dogs are often unable to rise and are distressed, usually panting. Some affected dogs have swollen limbs and show pain when the limbs are manipulated.
What to do: Though these symptoms are painful, they usually don't last very long. Still, take your pet to the vet.

What else?

  • Pear pips, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pips (contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide posioning)
  • Potato peelings and green looking potatoes
  • Rhubarb leaves
  • Mouldy/spoiled foods
  • Alcohol
  • Yeast dough
  • Coffee grounds, beans & tea (caffeine)
  • Hops (used in home brewing)
  • Tomato leaves & stems (green parts)
  • Broccoli (in large amounts)
  • Raisins and grapes
  • Cigarettes, tobacco, cigars
