Puppy ate foam bedding, now has diarrhea and won't eat. What to do?

Since Panda ate some foam padding yesterday and has ben vomiting and eating less, my main concern is that he has developed a stomach or intestinal obstruction. He needs to see a vet immediately for an exam and abdominal x-rays to try to determine if he is obstructed. Foreign body obstructions are a surgical emergency. I hope he's on the mend soon!

It is very possible, and I would be worried if he's now having vomiting and diarrhea, as that may indicate a partial blockage (where some but not all stool is able to properly pass). If his symptoms continue, or none of the pee pad is passing, I would schedule a vet visit immediately to check for foreign body.

Oh dear! Puppies often chew things they shouldn't, unfortunately. If Ruben did swallow some of the foam, the biggest risk is that it could get stuck in his stomach or intestines and cause a blockage. Or, it may pass through his system with no problems at all. I would keep a close eye on him for the next 2-3 days. As long as he's eating and drinking, acting normal, and having regular bowel movements, you shouldn't need to worry. If he stops eating, has any vomiting, or does not have a bowel movement for more than 24 hours, then I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam and x-rays since these can be signs of a blockage.

What you are describing is very concerning of a bowel obstruction. These are very serious conditions and require surgery in order to keep them from having life-threatening complications. Unfortunately, there is not home treatment option or medicine that will help with this condition; she needs veterinary intervention right away. I understand that money is an issue, but there are often various options in these cases and I recommend contacting a local animal emergency center and asking if there are payment options available. If not, you can contact a local animal rescue for advice about affordable veterinary care, but I'm afraid you won't have time to wait until these places are open. I hope that helps and Fludders gets better soon.

If she ate a significant amount of her bedding, it's definitely possible that she could have an intestinal obstruction. Normally, signs of an obstruction would include vomiting, lethargy, not eating, and not having bowel movements. It sounds like your pup is eating normally and having bowel movements regularly. Vomiting once or twice is not necessarily a concern is she is still eating find and acting normal - but if she has repeated episodes of vomiting, stops having bowel movements, or begins acting lethargic then I would recommend having her seen by a vet right away.

I would just monitor him for any sign like vomiting, having diarrhoea or not passing feces at all, being inappetent or lethargic. Abdominal discomfort and frequent praying stance would be other possible signs. Just in case, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.

If Sophie destroyed her bed on Saturday, it could be that she ate parts of it leading to the vomiting and diarrhea. Whenever a dog has both vomiting and diarrhea, it's time to see the vet, especially if there is a chance the dog ate something foreign. I would take her into a vet immediately to get checked out. Best of luck.
