We have 2 young daughters so keeping an eye on whats laying around is almost impossible. We had a similar incident 2 yrs ago where she swallowed a AAA battery whole and had to have major surgery as it got lodged in her stomach.
Hey, Chris. One quick tip — you may want to think about getting some indoor dog gates. We was on holiday at the time and took her with us so was not local to our vets, a week after she ate them she vomited a few times but was okay in herself then a week and a half later vomited one of the teats, this shocked me as I was surprised it would still be in the stomach, the day later she managed to pass the other teat and she carried on as usual.
We picked her up yesterday after her spending 48hrs in the vets and now has to be given antibiotics and calpol at home. I just wanted to stress to anyone to please please take the dog to a vets for xray as we were soo dumb and thought it would all be okay. Hey, Jane. Glad everything turned out OK for your pooch! Thanks for sharing your story! Hey, Zuber. Our fingers are crossed for you! Hey, Denise. Glad your dog turned out OK! My 20 month cockapoo ate a torn small black plastic bag that looked like seaweed — it was on a beach..
I pulled them out along with poop and all was and is well. It was remnants of black plastic bag unchanged after ingestion. Hey, Lily! Glad your pooch got through the ordeal unharmed! That could be, Ritchy. My dog have eating plastic and is not coming out for over 4days today is not coming out am in africa.
Hey there, Ngoyou. That sounds concerning. My dog ate this extremely salty cheese block along with the thick plastic wrap. He has been walking funny for 2 days now.
Should I take him to the vet? Hey, Petros. Our fingers are crossed for your pooch! Let us know how it goes. We tried to make him vomit but nothing has came out. He is acting fine like still being active and eating good. He sleeps normal, just wakes up randomly through the night to cough.. What should I do?
Hey, Reina. That sounds pretty concerning. How long does take for symptoms take to show if my 11 lb matlese. Ate the snap plastic piece on the back of a hat? He ate the plastic pieces 2 nites ago..
I hope he passes it. My 18 lb two year old pug just ate about 12 of those one inch plastic things that are in cupboards to position shelves. We are very worried. She is fine so far. We called the vet and they said to watch her and she will hopefully pass these objects.
We are worried because they have that L shape and could potential puncture something. So far she is acting normal and she has not pooped out the objects. We continue to worry. It is probably a good sign that she is still acting OK, but it may be worth another call to the vet, just to be on the safe side.
Keep us updated! My 10 month old Shiba pup ate some small pieces of plastic my fault completely ; he choked for 30 seconds or so, then he was fine. I think it may have got stuck in his throat; appears to have have passed through.
Now rule 1 after reading this eye-opening article is no more plastic anything!!! Hey, Scarlett. That does sound concerning. My 20 pound pit bull 3 months ate the plastic of my SnapBack hat? I have an appt to see vet in in 3 days should I go see him sooner??
Hey, Vicious. This is helpful I wish I googled this earlier when it happened on Tuesday my dog Tuco 1yr old I hooked him up on his lead in the front yard I did not get a chance to scan my yard of garbage that blows in from an alleyway behind a plaza.
Anyway he got what looked like saran wrap hanging from his mouth when I saw it I ran to him and said no he looked at me and gobbled it up.
I reached in and nothing was in his mouth. I had to go somewhere he went in his crate on Thursday when I got home I thought he had an accident on his matt in crate it was soaked. He has acted normally and is eating, pooping, peeing. I have noticed his poop darker than normal in some pieces could that be the plastic wrap passing?
He also will eat napkins or tissues and when he passes that it is usually darker in spots. Do I still need to worry about him? I have been putting coconut oil on his food so that it will help pass if he still has it in his belly. Honestly, multiple vomiting sessions is pretty concerning. Best of luck with Tuco! My Jack Russell Beagle mix ate strings of plastic from a balloon weight I kept giving her food Andy fluids luckily she said eating and drinking it.
Hey, Paul. It would probably be a good idea to go ahead and call your vet if you believe the plastic had sharp edges. Especially if you notice your dog seems to be in pain or is experiencing repeated vomiting, bloody stools, or straining while trying to poop. Our fingers are crossed for your pooch. Should I head to the vet or wait? Hey, Amanda. My puppy he is 3 months old and we noticed he 2as pooping out peices of plastic and now he is throwing up and refusing to eat or drink and is acting lethargic I really need help with this I am so worried and have no way to get to a vet.
Hey, Mikki. That sounds frightening. Our fingers are crossed for your pup! For example, my pup ate the plastic bag then auto vomit, then him almost OK and back to play as well. Thanks for share your ideas. Not only can that get expensive for them, you may get part of them stuck in your digestive tract. They may be able to find one that will stand up to your strong chompers and keep you safe.
My 50kg Alaskan Malamute at 7x 15g milk chocolate frogs but also the plastic wrap that is over each of them. Hey, Maria. Sorry about your mischievous pupper! And this is particularly true if your pooch ingested any of the cleaning chemicals associated with the trays.
He had diarrhea this morning. Letting me know when he needs to go out, excited for treats, and drinking water. Should I be concerned? My dog has eaten whole plastic bag that can posses 1kg of things in it. And some objects stop everything from moving, period. A dog may pass a small piece of plastic on their own, with no change in their overall demeanor. But, it takes a few days for a food particle or foreign object to pass from ingestion to defecation.
You may think that your dog is fine initially but be taken by surprise when he becomes ill in 24 to 48 hours. A ruptured stomach from a sharp plastic object is nothing to sneeze at! If you are having problems with your dog chewing or eating inappropriately, you may need to determine the root cause of the behavior before you can completely eliminate the issue.
We hope this article has been helpful. What ways did you deal with the problem? My 6mo golden retriever ate the clasp of a tarp clip. Energy seems normal as of now, and is more than willing to eat and drink.
Is he going to be okay? How long should I give it to pass? My 13 yr old very healthy and spirited English Shepherd had a ruptured anal gland that required oral steroids… ergo HUGE appetite increase. Well, she ate many paper products, but most concerning was nine tampons and plastic applicators.
The strings are worrisome in intestines, so to my great relief, this AM, Savannah barfed up one long woven-together chain of nine tampons.
Now we need to worry about the applicator pieces. I also alternate between a Tablespoon of fresh pumpkin, yogurt, and fresh carrots with her meals, fyi. Send love and prayers our way please. Hi, was your dog OK? My dog stole a sandwich wrapped in clingfilm off a stranger on the beach a couple hours ago, practically swalled it whole in a hurry, vet advised not to make him sick and hopefully it will pass through. Hi Eduardo, Please take your dog to the veterinarian as soon as you can.
My dog was acting a bit off… the next day I went to give him a bath and when I went to pick him up he yelled and put his teeth on my arm. He has the sweetest demeanor so I knew something was very wrong!! I called and got him right in. My dog was very thirsty and on a bland diet in which he did eat. Then 6 days later I heard horrible squeals and yelps from outside my mom was over and we both ran out.
Partially hanging out of my dogs but was what I now know was part of a baggie I very carefully and slowly slid the rest of the quart sized bag out!!!! New 5 mth old got a pair of reading glasses, I found frame parts, one full lense and did puzzle with other frame as best as. We vacuumed up, I checked mouth but I am afraid of sliver getting into his digestive wall.
I am going to give him some oil and pray til Monday unless I notice problems. He is drinking, walking etc But he ran so quick and chewed.. However, one splinter scares me. Is plastic wrap passable or do I need to get him checked out? My dog swallowed the squeaky part of a toy it was about a quarter sized he swallowed it 9 days ago. He appears fine what should I do?
My yorkie cannelle did the same thing. She swallowed it 9 days ago, but 4 days ago she started having diarrhea. I took her to the vet yesturday and the xray showed a 1. It looked round enough and cannelle was energetic, so the vet gave kaopectate to help it pass. This evening shes afraid to sit or stretch and she puked up a bit of blood, though not too much. Im waiting to see how it goes from here. My 2 year old Male dog keeps eating poo bags that people have left with poo in on paths.
Why is he doing this? What nutrients is he missing? How do I stop him doing this? What should I do? Do I need to give him food so the plastic can hopefully pass through? My dog ate a whole bag of crumpets, plastic bag and all. I looked everywhere and only found two little pieces of plastic where she had eaten the crumpets.
She seems fine in herself! Would soft plastic show up on an exray of her stomach? My year old Beagle plays with plastic water bottles and eats both ends. If I see her chewing them I tell her to spit it out and she does. No problems so far, but we try to watch her close. Training her would definitely help! Train your dog to not chew plastic and, to be on the safe side, going for a check-up to the vet would be better.
I think my dog swallowed a plastic Squeaker from a toy the size of a nickel or Quarter what shell we do? A small sized plastic toy may be able to pass through safetly. To be on the safe side, visit your vet. Best of luck! Should I be worried? I have a pug chiwauwau and he ate an entire plastic handle to a 14qt plastic bucket. I recently put him in a cage while im at work and was using this bucket for water.
He ate the whole thing! Size of a hand with a small pull cord etc. He is continuing to eat and sleep normal behaviour but no sign of the bag being dedicated yet. Should we still wait or take him to a vets for X-ray? He shows no sign of pain maybe we are safe? My puppy belusky eat a plastic wrapper what should i do…its possible it will pass through…is it dangerous or no please reply.
My dog ate a guitar pic. There was fortunately no major damage to his intestines. Hi Rachel, You need to take your dog to the vet. Explain your situation and see what they can do. Some veterinarians offer support for people in financial difficulties.
They might also be able to suggest a local charity that can help you. I hope she feels better soon. Some examples of imaging include x-ray and ultrasound. Specialized x-rays may be taken which use a dye, which helps the veterinarian to locate where a blockage may be located. If the plastic wrap gets stuck in the throat, esophagus, or stomach , a vet may choose to use a specialized bit of equipment called an endoscope to pull it out, essentially like a grabber.
If your dog is suffering from a blockage in his guts, he may have to have surgery to fix this. This means he will have to go under anesthesia.
He will be put onto his back, and an incision will be made into his abdomen tummy and then into the gut. He may have to stay at the veterinary practice for a few days until he is feeling better. Foreign object removal in the esophagus gullet or the stomach can be more complicated.
There are risks associated with surgery, as with any procedure. One study found that 7. Your vet may talk to you about a prognosis, which is a prediction for how long they think it will take for your dog to get better. It will depend on the location of the plastic wrap , how long ago the plastic has been inside your dog, and the overall health of your pet.
It is really important to be aware of complications that could arise. Complications could include a bacterial infection at the site of damage and inflammation of the stomach or gut lining. Necrotic guts are extremely dangerous and often fatal. As eating plastic wrap can cause serious complications for our pups, we should always try and keep our pets away from it.
This is easier said than done, as our dogs always love to keep us on our toes! Try to always keep all foreign bodies out of reach. This makes trash an easy target for our pets. Make sure it goes straight into a secure pet-safe trash can , out of reach or hidden away. On walks, if your dog likes eating naughty things, keep him on a long lead so you have more control.
You could try training classes or even a basket muzzle if he keeps picking things up. This will vary on the amount swallowed but anywhere between 24 to 72hrs. However, if the item is too large to pass through, then this can cause a blockage intestinal obstruction.
