That is strange,

I thought dogs ate everything

odd, sorry I cant help

Answer #4

Ditto on the Vet. Check. Is the dog foaming at the mouth or anything?? I would for sure get it checked out. The people vits. shouldn’t hurt him if you gave him like one a day and should have already passed through his system.

A stray taken in should always be Vet checked for your safety and his.

Answer #5

Well, I’m sure she told you to contact poison control, to MAKE sure that human vitamins wouldn’t hurt him…but why give those, when doggie vitamins are cheaper??

Because he is a stray, you might want to take him to the vet and get him a health check…he may be wormy, or have other parasites like cocydia or giardia that has his guts hurting…

Anytime a dog won’t take ANY water, I’d take them to the vet.
