well I almost fucking killed pippin tonight so that feels great

we’re at the e-vet because I gave him a corn cob to chew on

it’s early enough we’ll be able to get him to throw it up but I’m so fucking mad at myself and I’m so sorry to him

this is not how either of us wanted to spend our evening

I sent a pic to my mom and she was like hey aren’t those really bad for dogs. she saved his life

usually I’m smarter than this, fuck me

awwww heck i'm sorry cami

oh no. :c I’m glad he’s getting taken care of!

oh cami, I'm so glad you got him in and he's being looked after. please try not to beat yourself up, i've had dogs my whole life and would never have thought about it. you're doing everything he needs

aww i'm glad he'll be okay

whoa good catch mom, i've never even heard of corn cobs being dangerous for dogs

hope you're all home safe and comfy soon

yeah i didn't know that about corn cobs either dang

same here, def not a case of being stupid. I'm sorry this happened to you guys, hang in there x

ugh so sorry, this sounds so stressful and as the rest of the plurk demonstrates, not common enough knowledge you should beat yourself up

you took immediate action and did everything you needed to do. hope you're all home safely soon and all this stress is behind you

we’re home and he’s like “what the fuck mother now I’m hungry again”

you give me a treat and then take me to the VET and make me give it BACK

he is his usual sweet peppy self and will be fine. I’m the one who will have a hard time recovering lol

but thank you everyone, and don’t give your dogs corn cobs

jeez i had no idea either. very glad he's okay and I hope you can give yourself a break about it.

I literally had no idea and I had a dog who swallowed one whole

she did have surgery to get it out but I had no idea they were otherwise bad, I'm sorry for your nasty scare!

Glad you were able to get it resolved so quickly!!

aw cami!!! I'm so sorry this happened! please be kind to yourself, I also didn't know about corncobs. I'm glad everything is fine

Pip is doing fine and has no idea anything was ever wrong, unfortunately my whole OCD thing is “what if I did something to harm [loved one] intentionally” and although that has never come true this is pretty close

I didn’t know but I still gave it to him

I know rationally everything worked out and we’re in the clear but unfortunately my mental illness likes to dwell on parallel universes where every possibility occurs

I love this fucking dog and I hate my fucking brain

I’m going to try and sleep, I know I will feel better tomorrow

get some rest, hope brain's quieter in the morning

totally, bad brain does not care if it's being rational

hope you can get some rest : (

Pippin is perfectly fine today, and I was able to get some sleep after realizing the alternate reality in which we didn’t catch it right away still involves taking him to the vet and dealing with it

just more expensively

very scary, glad you got him to the e-vet quick
