I had to put my 15-year-old dog down after he ate a small piece of chicken sausage, which caused wheezing and subsequent health issues including heart failure, increased liver and kidney levels, and seizures. I was concerned if I made the right decision or if further investigation at an after-hours animal hospital could have helped. Additionally, I wondered why he suddenly refused to eat and if the sausage incident was the primary trigger for his rapid decline.

My dog, Simba, a 9-year-old 30lb dog, ate a whole 9oz bag of joint supplement treats containing glucosamine HCl, chondroitin sulfate, MSM, and sea cucumber. He has not vomited since ingesting them. Should we induce vomiting, and if so, how should we do it safely?
