Addiction is a chronic brain disease that induces compulsive activity, despite health, social and legal consequences. A person may seem to make a voluntary choice to try a drug or begin a type of behavior, but a variety of genetic and environmental factors influence those decisions.

Anonymous 23 Jun 2011. I had a dog that was litterally dying years ago. Had gotten into neighbors garbage. Vet thought he ate plastic vomited for days until they gave up on him He had had plasma IV's & everything the vet could think of. Was 120lb German Shepard. I, as a last resort gave him Pepto Bismol, & believe it or not it worked for him! It saved his life! But would check with vet first.
