Dog ate baseball a month ago. Vomiting and diarrhea. Is it serious?

Yes it's worrying because Xena ate parts of a baseball glove. That will upset her stomach, and it could cause a blockage. I'm not sure if there are more parts in her stomach. I think it's best you get her checked out by a vet immediately to make sure everything is ok. Best of luck.

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.

Since it has been 4 days, an exam with your veterinarian would be strongly recommended. Abdominal x-rays may be indicated after a physical exam. A bland diet can be offered in small, frequent amounts if a vet visit is not possible at this time. If symptoms persist or worsen though, then she will need to be seen by your vet.

My concern is that Axel has ingested a foreign object ( ball ) that could be potentially causing an obstruction. I hope this is not the case, he could have just some gastritis from the inflammation caused by the ball pieces. However, the presence of a potential foreign object in his tummy needs to be ruled out via a check up and x rays or other imaging, as it can be life threatening. Furthermore the vomiting will persist until the primary cause is addressed. While you search for a vet that can see Axel , offer him small amounts of water frequently , try not to let him drink a lot of water in one go as this will increase the chances of him being sick.

It is possible to be related if it is a partial blockage in the stomach and it is floating around. But it may be unrelated as he could have a viral/bacterial infection that can cause similar symptoms. If the vomiting persist or bloody diarrhea occurs, then bring him to your vet for blood work and x rays to make sure.

Based on the information provided, I'm not clear as to how long the loss of appetite and other symptoms have been going on, but I'm assuming more than 24 hours. It sounds like your big man normally has a very healthy appetite. The symptoms do seem pretty vague, but if they are becoming more frequent, it is definitely time to see your veterinarian. Lots of things could cause Cash to stop eating; everything from a virus, to a blockage from something he ate, or kidney or liver disease, and more. Your veterinarian will likely want to start checking some bloodwork and maybe getting abdominal xrays. The previous episode of diarrhea may or may not be related, but I think it is time to look into this further. In response to your question "could this be something serious", that is harder to answer. In short, yes it could, but I hope it isn't. Only with a full exam and some testing will your veterinarian be able to answer that fully. I hope your Johnny Cash is on the mend soon.

Yes, I think Dougie should definitely go into the vet today. Anytime they are throwing up repeatedly and having diarrhea, it's best to have them seen. The doctor will preform a thorough physical exam and ask you many questions about his history. They will then recommend appropriate diagnostics. I hope he starts feeling better quickly!
