Does anyone have any experience of dogs and damsons. Our large breed dog has stolen about 500g off the side about an hour or two ago. I would take him the emergency vets right now if he needed it but he seems ok other than a full looking stomach he is still playing and just settled in his bed with his favourite toy. I am of course watching him like a hawk for any chance in behaviour, is there anything else I should do?? (This is also the same dog who ate a ski snood - we only realised when he threw it up a week after it went missing)

Thanks in advance

Give the vet a ring they will.give telephone advise

Mine have eaten plums falling from our tree for years, ditto pears, only the apples ever give them bellyache as theya re more acidic.

Do they spit the stones out? It’s those that bother me not the fruit so much.

Yes and no.

Had a friend whose dogs were out her garden for a while in the morning, in the afternoon dog woke up and started staggering about. She lived about 100 yds from vets so took him in to be told he was rolling drunk.......... been scrumping plums in am and they had fermented in his gut 

Think it would be of interest to know what your Vet said crobertson? Hopefully, your dog is ok?

Good idea ..... for anyone interested I rang the on call vet Sunday night who said although the stones of damsons are toxic, when they are ingested a compound is broken down into hydrogen cyanide, but the stones must have been crunched and broken for that to occur. Although he'd eaten a significant amount, as he's a big dog he had just swallowed them whole the main concern she had would be a blockage but again as he's a larger breed dog they should just pass through naturally.

We kept a very close eye on him and had a rather worried night with little sleep but he is absolutely fine ... not even had an upset tummy and is still pooping stones

Glad he is ok and thanks for the update. Damsons bring me out in hives, which is a shame because I love them. Very please to hear that it is only stones he is 'passing'

So glad your dog is OK!
I didn't even know my dog was stealing fallen plums until the stones starting coming out the other end - heart attack moment!
I naively believed there WERE no  fallen plums!
