Hey guys,
My 80lb German Shepherd stole a marshmellow off the table that had COWP in it. It was a dose for a mini mancha doe, about 5-6g.
He spit it out when I told him to, it had opened in his mouth and a of wire particles on the floor, a lot still in the marshmellow, then I rinsed his mouth with a cup of water but I know I saw him swallow before I could get to him with the cup of water.
He might have ingested a gram. Anybody had anything like this happen? Predictably I can't find anything about it on the internet. No idea if it might be dangerous to him?

Well the dog still seems fine, so I conclude that small amounts of COWP are not too dangerous to big dogs! Still don't recommend you try this at home lol
Our Pomeranian ate crayons and had rainbow poops. Totally been down that road. My husband does not think it will be a problem, he says humans are okay if they eat a little copper.
The dog was pretty funny. He started to chew the marshmellow and looked at me like "uh, ma? This doesn't taste right"
I also have a foster dog who is REALLy into tampons and other disgusting stuff.
If he has no ill effects then I will let you guys know that small amounts of COWP do not appear to adversely effect dogs :/
I am happy to say that this has never happened here. But we do have a dog that eats tampons and underwear, and he continues to thrive. I've heard of dogs eating all sorts of crazy things, and the only ones that seem to cause a problem are those that are too large for them to pass -- like the dog that ate a whole bra. (Not one of my dogs -- or bras. Yay!) A friend of mine had a dog that was eating crayons. He said she had very colorful poop. Let us know how everything comes out. :-)
