How not-good-for-you is green stuff?


Recommended Posts

Kind of a very random PC&A question. My dog grabbed my green stuff off the kitchen table, and I came upon her a while later chewing on it. I don't know if she actually swallowed any, but is it reasonably safe?

 

Dogs, man. One day I'll understand the "I should chew on EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD" mentality. :)

Did a quick googling on "Green stuff toxic"

 

Found this guy on heresy-online:

My dog did just the same thing a while back except she ate the whole yellow tube, everything. I kept an eye on her and she seemed fine and several months later still no ill effects (she is retarded but was like that before she ate modelling putty!).

Here is the MSDS (Material Saftey Data Sheet) for Green Stuff.

 

It says that ingestion causes burns.

 

Judging by this I would print it out and take your dog to the vet just to be sure.

I feel your pain, my labrador ate some £200 leather wellies i got missus literally the same day i got her them.............and my friends boss eyed dog ate a whole lightbulb, no lie! I hope your dog is ok, they always seem to shrug off most things. let us know how she gets on.
It says that ingestion causes burns.

 

To be fair the MSDS also says skin contact causes burns..and thats possible but I've never seen it happen to my hands. But a vet trip is probably the best idea.

 

That's more than likely because when mixed it does create an exothermic reaction, which can (if you mix enough) cause it to give you a burn. Usually, these are all worst-case-scenarios (WCS).

Superglue also has an exothermic reaction when it goes off (and will cause a burn - usually from either a 'lot' of it going off in one location, or a smaller amount combined with an accelerant. You can get a cotton ball to combust with just superglue, for example).

 

Take it to a vet. Maybe he can give it an injection to stop it just chewing on stuff (or breathing, crapping on everyone's lawn and generally being dog-like).
