Let's assume that the dog threw up everything and won't be suffering much in the way of physical ill effects - though I'd still keep a close eye on her and be ready to take to the vet. So then we're just left with a smelly, dirty dog, right? I don't understand why you can't just put the dog in the bath tub and give her a bath.

Give her a good rubbing with a large bath towel afterwards, and keep her indoors for a few hours until she's dry. It shouldn't be a problem. :dogsmile:

Yeah. Why not just give her a bath in the tub or shower?

hi Luna May - my dog has done stuff like that before (he's a chow-hound) so I'm VERY familiar with doggie puke and diarrhea indoors and all over stuff... so I truly sympathize with you!!

Health-wise: if she is back to normal (behavior normal, poop normal, eating habits normal), then I would think she's probably fine. But I would at least give your vet a call and tell them what happened so they can advise you over the phone if she might suffer any after effects and if so what to look out for.

Stink-wise: maybe you can wet a towel with water and shampoo and clean her that way?? Or, maybe you can take her to a groomer to get bathed, yeah it will cost some money but may be worth it! Or you could take her to a "self-service dog wash", that way you can still bathe her yourself but it is indoors and not so cold and would be cheaper than a professional groom!


poor pup! Well at least now you know she can climb onto the tables and counters!! I am so glad my dog can't do that (or least hasn't tried) but he is tall enough that he can reach most things on the counters/tables anyway just by standing on his hind legs. but a friend's dog I see gets on the tables and counters regularly! (might come in handy for future tricks!)

Because my family says that she'll catch a cold, and they're also pretty opposed to washing her in the bathtub :dogsad:.
I think I'll do it anyways though

dealing with dog puke

Hi! I just registered and have a 9lb. toy poodle, that looks very much like yours. Her name is Emma Rose. I also have had similar trouble with her getting onto the table and even the kitchen counter! I have seen her do it in one simple jump. I swear she has springs in her feet! I had a toy poodle previously (for 12 1/2 years) and Emma is 14 months old. I live in Ohio so it is cold here during the winter too. I have always bathed my dogs during the winter. As long as it's warm in your house, (comfortable enough for you to take a bath) there should be no problem with giving your dog a bath. I dry them off real good with a towel and even use the blow dryer. (Start it on low if the dog isn't used to a blow dryer) My dogs have never gotten sick from getting a bath. You can clean the tub afterward with any disinfectant. As for the house, see if there is a product called Natures Miracle at your local pet supply store. I have used while housebreaking Emma and it is a great odor neutralizer.

Welcome aboard emma's momma!!

Thank you guys... :doghappy:
The problem was solved in a rather unexpected way: My dad gave her a face haircut, including the muzzle, and now she's puke-free Lol
Afterwards I brushed her teeth, and now she's good as new! :doglaugh:
