Mookie + Gorilla Glue = Not Good!

We don't have our fence finished yet. (The posts are going in this weekend!) Mookie has always been really good at staying in our backyard without the fence. Over time he's gotten more brave and has wandered to the other side of the fence. One afternoon I noticed him laying on our back porch chewing on something. I was surprised to see he had gotten his paws on a bottle of Gorilla Glue. Where in the world did he find that? We've never owned a bottle of Gorilla Glue! It was all over his mouth and on his front paws. I snatched the bottle and let him stay out until the glue dried. The label said something like "harmful if swallowed may be fatal." I called Mike to tell him what happened and he looked online and found multiple articles of dogs who have swallowed Gorilla Glue. It expands in their stomach! One dog had a mound of glue removed the size of a cantelope! There wasn't very much missing out of the bottle, maybe a half ounce. So we watched him carefully watching for signs, lack of appetite, vomiting, and troubles going to the bathroom. Three days after he ate it he threw up 3 times. It was the weekend, so we waited until Monday to call the vet. The other dogs we read about had to have surgery to remove the glue. How much is that going to cost us? How much is Mookie worth to us? It was hard to think about possibly putting him to sleep when he has so much life to live! We love him too! Luckily when I called the vet they said as long as he stops vomiting and is still eating he should be fine. And he is! If you ever have this stuff in your home, keep it away from pets and children!
