Jasper just stole a cucumber from my salad, she got a few nibbles before I wrangled it away from her. She seems to be ok, just pouty because I took her "treat"... Does anyone know if it's ok for a chin to have cucumbers? I've never given them fresh veggies and I don't recall if it's because they are dangerous or if I just saw no reason to.

Thanks

No, chins should not have cucumber or any fresh veggies. I wouldn't be concerned with the amount your chin ate as a one time thing. Like Dawn said, maybe some abnormal poop for a bit.

In general chins can't process the sugars in fresh fruits and veggies, so they are not safe treats, and can become very dangerous if fed regularly.
