chem1st Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 But that's putting the blame on the owner & taking it off whoever dumped it. Nobody should have dumped it, but neither should the dogs have been off the lead. To avoid this happening again, people who are dumping dough need to stop, and people need to keep dogs on the leads.

iansheff Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I don't know how big Gleadless common is but I thought most dog owners usually let dogs off their leads in open spaces to run and exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eater Sundae Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Can someone explain, please? Is there something special about pizza dough that harms dogs? I could sort of understand if some poison was hidden in bait that it would hurt unsuspecting dogs, but are dogs usually at risk of eating everything in front of them that might be food, regardless of whether it is harmful? If that is the case, then surely it is common sense to make sure they don't get the chance to eat anything they find. If that means keeping them on leads, then keep them on leads.

Unbaked bread dough can be poisonous to dogs and cats. When ingested, the unbaked bread dough expands in the warm, moist environment of the stomach and can result in a bloated stomach (called “bloat”); this can then progress to a gastric-dilitation volvulus (GDV), which is a twisted stomach. Signs of bloat or GDV include vomiting, non-productive retching, a distended stomach, an elevated heart rate, weakness, collapse, and death. Secondly, when the yeast in the unbaked dough is fermented, it results in the production of carbon dioxide (causing the bloat) and alcohol. Alcohol from the fermenting yeast is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and results in alcohol poisoning quickly. Ingestion of alcohol can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature. Intoxicated dogs and cats can experience seizures and respiratory failure.

teeb Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just because these dogs were not on a lead doesn't mean they were out of sight of the owner nor out of control. For certain breeeds of dogs lead exercise is not enough. It takes literally seconds for an animal to eat something and one would not expect a large amount of pizza dough to be dumped on public ground. For those of you who cannot sympathise with the dog owner, then what about other wildlife that will probably have been killed by this TOXIC waste. At the end of the day this person is nothing but lazy lowlife who needs to be brought to task so once again if anyone out there knows who it is then the sooner he is caught the better !

Thank you, someone else who puts the blame on those who dumped this dangerous stuff & not on the highly irresponsible dog owners who seem to be mistreating their dogs by letting them have a run on open fields, & who else thought about the agony some poor wildlife or strays will suffer when they can't get veterinary treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyh Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 My dogs need to run off lead and I let them off in a controlled environment. I would be most displeased if someone critised me for it. :( ---------- Post added 22-12-2012 at 17:21 ---------- Especially if the dogs were unwell.
