My Pekingese ate half of my Petroleum Jelly jar! I just found it on my closet and he was licking it. It's half gone now! HE hasn't pooped on 2 days, i wonder if it's because of the petrolem jelly! Does anybody know if petroleum jelly does any harm to dogs? It says to contact the poison center if consumed by human but i don't know if it's the same with dogs.
Answers:
You can call this from anywhere, even if you are outside of USA> K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine has a free, 24-hour animal poison control hotline at 785-532-5679 that puts worried pet owners and other veterinarians in touch with three K-State veterinary toxicologists.
I would call immediately.
Contact your vet, I am certain he has heard of this happening before.
it probably won't do him any harm but when he finally poops i bet it's going to be nasty!
No he didn't. He wouldn't because it would not taste good to him
You are trying to be "funny".
You are not.

You should take him to the vet, could cause intestinal blockage, that stuff is thick.
go to the vet.. and have ur dog check..
They have the crazy thing in my neighborhood called a VETERNARIAN. Call them now. They should have a 24 Call Center for Emergencies. And you can try the Poison Center Number. If it can harm a full grown human, I would think the possiblity exists that it could harm a dog that weights less than 10 Lbs.
You can call the Vet for Free if it is harmful then you may have to take them in. If not they should tell you.
Just dont let him outside... he might squeeze throught the fence really really easy now.
but seriously, don't worry, Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is an excellent digestive lubricant. It will allow all the other household items that your dog ate to pass easily. But if mucous starts coming out of his butt, take him to the vet.
I would call an animal hospital in the area if you have one. Simply explain to them what has happened, and they will be able to advise you what to do from there.
Are you serious? Maybe he was hungry or knew he had not pooped in two days so that is why he just now ate your vaseline.
You'd be amazed at some of the things dogs try to ingest/eat, and the number of cases that are similar to this.
In any case, I'm not sure exactly what's in the contents of the jar, but it would be best to call your veterinarian and ask him about it asap.
Also watch for any signs of vomiting, diahrrea, excessive urination or abnormal behavior. If any of these symptoms show up, see your veterinarian immediately.
It's not poisonous to dogs. My friend in Canada had a terrible experience when her dog ate a used condom at the local park. She rang her vet and he told her to put vaseline on a couple of slices of bread. It apparently lubricates everything. I would be very carefull where you leave him, make sure he can get outside to the toilet.
