Oh come on Pete, any vet would know that Paracetomol is toxic to dogs and can be fatal. 
In fact anyone that's not a retard would probably know that.
If this is a genuine post not a trolling post you should be reported to the RSPCA for animal cruelty.

It's come to something when comments from Scoobynet members regarding a pet who is/was bleeding heavily spurs you into action.

Are you a VET?
I don't think so ...... the vet did not seem too concerned to be honest!
You lot sent the fear of god up me!!
Just taken her out for a quick stroll round the block, she was eager to go but was a step behind me rather than her usual step in front.
Had the Vet said get her down her right now I would be there ... the vet was primarily interested if we thought there was part of the stick still in her throat - other than that she didn't seem too concerned at all.
The cost is secondary to my dogs welfare - that's aimed at those who would suggest otherwise!

Paracetamol toxic to a dog ...... and can be fatal ........ Yeah, RIGHT!!
Now, go and troll elsewhere ... like I told you to.
Quote:-
"Paracetamol is extremely toxic to cats, and should not be given to them under any circumstances. Cats lack the necessary glucuronyl transferase enzymes to safely break paracetamol down and minute portions of a normal tablet for humans may prove fatal.[52] Initial symptoms include vomiting, salivation and discolouration of the tongue and gums. After around two days, liver damage is evident, typically giving rise to jaundice. Unlike an overdose in humans, it is rarely liver damage that is the cause of death, instead methaemoglobin formation and the production of Heinz bodies in red blood cells inhibit oxygen transport by the blood, causing asphyxiation. Effective treatment is occasionally possible for small doses, but must be extremely rapid.
In dogs, paracetamol is a useful anti-inflammatory with a good safety record, causing a lower incidence of gastric ulceration than NSAIDs. It should be administered only on veterinary advice. A paracetamol-codeine product (trade name Pardale-V)[53] licensed for use in dogs is available on veterinary prescription in the UK.[54]"
I have given Paracetamol to all my dogs, my old GSD suffered from her hips and half a paracetamol was given each evening ...... the improvement in her life was immense.

No sticks and no tennis ***** for dogs, it's elementary.
Pete, to check you have all the stick out of her mouth you might want to insert the hosepipe up her árse and spray any remains out.
Disclaimer: Kids, don't try this at home, it's not big and it's not clever, it's for Pete only.

Even though you removed the stick, PS, she may have a splinter of wood lodge in her mouth - if left this can turn into a very nasty infection...
As for paracetomal being toxic - that is true if your animal is a cat..
from wikipedia and another website..

Apparently though, as newer non-steroidal treatments beomce available, paracetomal is used less commonly. This is because if the animal has underlying kidney problems it can cause further problems.

1, What kind of Vet would NOT tell you to get the dog examined after it had had a stick rammed down it's throat?
2, And what kind of responsible pet owner would not insist on getting their dog examined while watching it bleed from the throat?
The answers to these questions are the same " A bloody stupid one"

At the end of the day, unless anyone is a qualified vet/ veternairy technican, any advice or comments given should be not be taken as gospel.. - and yes that includes any quotes from websites as they are not infallable ( that was for Paul3446
).
As much as I would be thankful for people offering suggestions or advice, I would only take action after info from a true professional.

Says the person who threw a stick for his dog, fed it drugs for a human, and then sat and watched it bleed from the throat all night.

Help! I have a hypothermic horse! I've tried warming him up with a blowtorch, but he keeps moving and the blankets catch fire! I'd buy him a cashmere throw if I thought it would help. Anyway I've moved him further away from the fridge and we'll check him in the morning.
Pahh - I'm just an amateur storyteller

I remember trying to remove a ball from a dog throat one Sunday morning. Owner came running into A&E with this collapsed dog and a small rubber ball lodged in its throat.
Ended up blue lighting it to the vets where it died

Pete, I genuinely hope your dog is going to be ok. I think it may be worth getting her to the vets tomorrow, just in case. She may well be sore and feeling sorry for herself, but if you get her checked you will know for sure one way or another.
Anyhow, hope she is fighting fit soon enough.
