I have already checked his mouth and stomach before posting the message. And like the original post says...everything is well. Good appetite,loads of energy interested in playing...typical puppy
My dog last night accidently swallow one 20 cents big stone. He likes to play with the stone, no doubt last time he did accidently swallow but the size very small. This time I m quite worry about him, til now he still look ok... U hv any advise for me? Visit My Blogs!! http://peonythestormrider.blogspot.com/ http://jojothemalaysianmongrel.blogspot.com
well..most of the time the stone would just pass through his system (tht's wht happened with my dog). Maybe you could try feeding him fibrous food to ease his stools? ,-._,-. \/)"(\/ (_o_)
Thank's for the advise. I had juz went to the Vet and she advised me to feed him Laxapet Gel. This is to smoothen the intestine so that the stone would come out with the pooh. She also said it's normal for the dog to behave normally despite the stones still stuck in the stomach. This is not good for the dog as over time the stone could cause injury to the intestine and cause infection. She said at this stage it would be very difficult to remove. If within 5 days the stone don't come out of the system, we need to bring him in for X-ray (RM 90++), and if the stone still inside, surgery need to be done (About RM450++)!!
If not mistaken, during our school time, I think only cow uses stone to help with it's digestion as they lack the necessary chamical. Dogs don't do that. I would strogly advise that you go to your vet for further information. Thank you. Visit My Blogs!! http://peonythestormrider.blogspot.com/ http://jojothemalaysianmongrel.blogspot.com
Its called Pica. Eating non-food objects. Sometimes its due to poor diet, sometimes its just bad habit.
Either way, its NOT GOOD. Stop it right away. Put hot sauce on the stones, get rid of them, whatever. They will just build up in the stomach and cause a blockage and require surgery. Some may come out, but eventually, they will cause BIG TROUBLE.
Do whatever you can to stop this behavior, it is dangerous for your dog.
