I always lob a can into a chilli.

That must splash, and do you like picking bits of the label out of your food?

Never had it ... not heard of it before.

Clafoutis is one of my favourites. Non, nom, as Gen says.

Are you saying that the vet intended to stay at his practice all night to observe the hound?

Or he was going to come in in the morning and observe either 'seems to have survived' or 'it died, serves it right'?

Bigger practises have nurses on night duty who call duty vet if needed for emergency intervention.

Smaller one man bands do checks last thing before sleeping, and when wake up, or, in critical cases, set alarms for checking and changing things.

Looks as if this might have been why I saw the helicopter here so late last night.

Apparently something to do with being concerned about the ingested tinfoil and possible issues with the digestive tract.

I have no idea if someone was there all night, quite a big set-up so possible, but certainly there until very late and back very early in morning.

Could have been an attempt to "get paid while making owner feel better" I suppose, but while I'm certainly no expert, I'd imagine eating a decent quantity of tinfoil would have potential complications for any animal...

So better safe than sorry.

Its amazing what they eat and survive and what they eat that they don't survive from.

Dogs we had when I was a child had a habit of stealing things in baggies. This lead to the odd and unpleasant circumstance of a bag in a poo, not the other way round.

A corn cob from the bin almost killed a dog of a different breed we had.

Similarly, while horses love carrots, whole ones are rather dangerous for them, and they should be cut vertically.

Booze + people being daft on the land probably uses more helicopter/RNLI services than people with boats sinking

Our cat came home one day with a long bit of string hanging from his 4rse.... vet said he'd probably found/eaten the remnants (and string surrounding) of a Sunday beef joint.

One criticism of many older breakfast cereals was they were about as nutritious as the cardboard box they were sold in and had the same effect as swallowing a rope and pulling it through.:eek:
