    BBQ's and Labradors don't mix!!!

    So we were having a relaxing Sunday late afternoon BBQ with some friends and one of the many steaks was a bit too bloody. So DH puts it back on the BBQ while we put the girls to bed so we can cut it up for lunch today. I wander into the lounge room and smell it thinking I should get it off. As I walk outside I see my girl jump up and pull the steak off the BBQ!!!!! I run over screaming to drop it (duh... she gulped it in one) and she vomited straight away from the heat. There was some pink tinge to the vomit and she was licking like made (Duh....) so I had to take her into my work at the Animal Critical Care centre. Luckily I'd worked there yesterday... and luckily Abby is one of their best blood donor dogs. Anyway... she had sloughing on her tongue and some burns down her eosophagus. Soft food for a week or so and pain relief.

    Poor puppy dog!!! I'd even taken extra precaution to wrap up the corn cobs and put them directly into the rubbish bin!!!! I've pulled too many of them out of dogs abdomens.... and yet my dog decides to get her meat straight from the BBQ... she didn't even get to digest it though. Poor sausage.

    Oh no! Your poor puppy . I hope she recovers quickly.

    A friend of ours was just about to throw a snag straight off our BBQ to our dog the other day . Luckily DH came out in time to stop him. What was he thinking???

    One of our pups (a lab) used to jump up on the BBQ side bit, and lick the plate! We had to watch him so he wouldn't do it when it was still hot. Thankfully, no injuries.

    Hope your pup recovers soon,
