Martha and Oscar, two spaniels, required a trip to the vet to make sure they were OK after lapping up a bottle of Advocaat. The slimy booze was knocked over by Brecon (middle), a third dog, who did not drink any.
The BBC reports that Martha was observed “staggering and swaying” in her home in Gatesehead, England.
The pooches were taken to Prince Bishop Veterinary Hospital in Consett where vet Emma Hindson induced vomiting before feeding them activated charcoal to absorb the remaining alcohol.
Dr Hindson said: “Alcohol affects pets in the same way it does humans, so Oscar and Martha were quite tiddly when they arrived.
“This was an unfortunate accident and their owner did the right thing by bringing them in immediately for treatment. Her responsible action meant everything turned out fine and they could go home.”
It was the second case of drunk dogs the veterinary practice had seen this festive season after two Labradors were found drinking red wine.
