My dog Oso swallowed a small rock and threw up 3 times today. He has not drank any water or eaten his food. But he ate one of his dog treats. He is still acting really playful though. Please help!
Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear about Oso. If the vomiting, lack of normal thirst/appetite continue, then I would advise having your vet evaluate him. Rock ingestion can be a major problem in dogs. They can become stuck in the stomach or intestines causing a foreign body obstruction. Your vet can take a history, examine him, and then discuss a treatment plan as warranted. Good luck

I saw my dog chewing on a small rock in my yard a couple weeks ago and I took it out of his mouth and told him “no”. But just the other day I caught him literally eating a rock, he swallowed it and all, he’s pretty destructive so he can’t be in the h
Unfortunately, rocks of certain sized can get stuck in the GI tract and cause an obstruction so just watch him closely. An obstruction will usually cause vomiting and a lack of appetite. I actually had to surgically remove a rock from my own personal dog. Silly dogs will eat anything. Since he has a tendency to eat rocks, I would consider putting him in a crate when you aren't able to supervise him outside for his safety. I understand this may not be possible, just understand that he could obstruct if he eats a rock that is too large. In the meantime, I would feed him a high fiber canned food for a couple of days to help him pass this rock. I hope this helps!

What if a dog eats a rock? Iam not sure if my puppy ate the rock
Hi! Cute puppy. If you arent sure diamond are a rock, I wouldn't worry. Hut what you would watch for is vomiting, diarrhea and decreased appetite. Depending on size of rock, most of them do pass. But I would monitor closely and watch while she is outside closely. Good luck. Feel free to open a consultation if you have any more questions or information

Why does my Lab swallow rocks? She threw some up this morning
Dogs often make bad decisions and swallow many things they shouldn’t. Rocks, underwear even razor blades. There is a concern that these rocks could cause an intestinal obstruction which requires surgery. I recommend to have her supervised at all times outside to make sure she does not continue to eat rocks or other objects she should not. Most dogs will outgrow this around two years of age but some never do. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi my dog just finished pooping he’s about to be 2 in February. He’s been eatin his pebbles and he did have some natural turkey hotdogs today. I looked closing to his poop and I saw a little bit of blood. Right after he pooped he’s been acting like h
As long as he is eating and drinking, acting normally, the stool is formed and he is not vomiting, just keep a close eye on him. Im not sure if you are saying that he has been eating pebbles (small rocks) or if that was a typo and you meant kibble, but if he's been eating small rocks those could be causing some irritation to his rectum and anus when he's pooping. Obviously the other issue is that if the rocks are big enough they could cause a blockage in his intestine, so rocks of all sizes should be avoided. Again as long as there are no other symptoms this is not urgent; however, if you notice it still tomorrow, call your vet and make an appointment. A rectal exam to make sure his anal glands are healthy and to ensure there isn't any rectal mass, etc is indicated. Thank you for asking Boop by Petco!
