The vet did an xray and didn’t find any blockages. It turns out it is pancreatitis. She got into a brick of brown cane sugar (not sugar with molasses), and apparently that much sugar all at once for a dog is very bad, especially since she’s 10 years old. We were sent home with some probiotics and instructions for her to eat a bland diet for a few weeks. The vet said she will be fine.

    Oh my. Once, when Callie was a pup, she jumped on the kitchen counters and ate an entire box of oreos and a whole loaf of bread from the top of the refrigerator. She was… not feeling good after that. A few days of runny poop and low appetite and she was fine.

      My childhood dog once ate a dozen chocolate cupcakes off the counter to no ill effect whatsoever (aside from the scolding we gave him for stealing). We were surprised, to say the least.
