The vet knew they were a problem, but I don't think she knew how much of a problem. There can't be many dogs out there who'll eat half a kilo. R pointed out that he'd have needed his own stomach pumped if he ate that many.
I wanted to jam my fingers down his throat myself, while the staff were fannying about at the desk and not getting immediately on the phone. I think after this I'm going to buy something that'll make him puke if I ever need it again. I could have given it to him before I set off for the vets, and saved 20 minutes. You can buy stuff - I can't remember what it's called, but I know you can. And Labs are the worst for eating anything they can find, so it's probably a good idea.
Really, the moral of this story is that healthy snacks are bad. I should stick to the biscuit barrel!
