Health & WellbeingMy dog ate a leather baseball cover. Should I induce vomiting?
Do not induce vomiting at home without the advice of your vet. The concern is that the cover, as a whole, may cause a gastric or intestinal obstruction. If it was chewed into pieces, it will likely pass on its own. Monitor her appetite and stool. Should she begin to vomit, stops eating, becomes lethargic or exhibits symptoms of abdominal pain then you should have her seen by your vet. It may take up to a week to pass the cover. Feeding a high fiber diet may help push it through. Mix in some plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) or sweet potato to add fiber to the diet.
