FFS. I have just had a message from the ex to say that my large yellow Labrabugger (my dogs and daugter live with him some of the time) helped himself to a box of chocolates at lunchtime and followed it up with a Christmas pudding.

Dear God. The ex and the daughter have gone out and thought nothing of it except to complain that the dog was a git.

I've called the emergency vet. It is going to voicemail.

Am trying other vets. At what stage do I panic?
 
Definitely needs vet attention if ate whole pudding...... Dried fruits can be very toxic to dogs... there is an online calculator to help you...If labrador is 30kg, then 84 raisens would need vet attention...Most christmas puddings would contain more than this.
The chocolate can also be toxic..the more dark chocolate...the more toxic

Thank you. My first thought, too. Not worried about the chocolate. It is the raisins.

When my dog ate something years ago, the vet told me to put salt down her throat to make her sick although that was an immediate thing. Hopefully the raisins are not being digested yet
 
Vet asap - the sooner the dog can be made to vomit it all up the better.

Though sounds like this was at lunchtime, so several hours ago already. Time is of the essence.

We’ve been the ones at the vets after the late JRT ate some Christmas chocolate. He was fine after being made to vomit, but we got him there quick.
 
Our 3 Labs ate a punnet of grapes out my veg box delivery between them, immediately after their breakfast. Vet said the breakfast helped and we got them injected within the hour. All were absolutely fine afterwards. The vet nurse counted how many grapes they had each eaten!
 
He is currently at the vet, puking for Englland, Harry, St George and the dragon. Thanks all. He is the Labrador epitomised and as cunning as a cunning thing when it comes to helping himself to things. Normally I just suggest they wait unti it comes out the other end. But a Christmas pudding..

What I really want to know is why the ex bought a Christmas pudding. He doesn't even like Christmas pudding.
 
Goodness. I'm glad you got him to the vets okay.

I also wouldn't have had much concern about the chocolate (assuming it wasn't dark) but I think even a relatively small number of raisins would worry me.

I hope he is feeling okay this morning.
 
I hope that doggo and connections are all grand this morning.

The son whose chocolate advent calendar the late JRT ate got an absolute roasting for being careless, and he was of university age at the time.

Then he showed us where he’d placed the advent calendar for safekeeping - high up on a tall shelf in his bedroom. Starting with the dog not being allowed upstairs at all anyway, the then teenage dog scaled a tall bed then from there up to the high shelf. It’s amazing that natural causes got the dog in the end at age 15, as that was only one of a number of scrapes that he survived.

Our 2 ate half a Christmas cake 3 days ago. And followed up with a dozen eggs yesterday. All fine except for OH who had to get up at 4am to.let his dog out after the egg incident

Acute kidney damage can happen with few visible symptoms. You need to get them to a vet if you haven't already..
