My Pomeranian ate a king crab leg. Should I be worried?

Oh, that was naughty of Rocky to get into the trash and eat the snow crab leg! Hopefully, his stomach acid will bread down the leg, and there won't be any problems with him eating it. There is always a chance it could become obstructed. To prevent that and try to bulk them up so they pass, take Rocky's daily allotment of food, and instead of feeding him twice a day, divide it into three to four smaller meals to give every six to eight hours. That should help keep things moving in his GI tract. Monitor him for signs of obstruction, which include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, anorexia, and constipation. Should you see any of those signs, I would take Rocky into a vet immediately.

Crab shells are a concern for causing damage or an obstruction in the stomach and intestines, but usually pass through without incident depending on the size. Normal GI transit time is 3-5 days for such things. During this time you would just be waiting to see if she has any signs of an obstruction. Signs of an obstructions are vomiting, not defecating, acting very painful/depressed and a decrease in appetite. If you notice these signs, then Harley should go to the vet immediately, because she may need emergency surgery. I hope that helps and all is well with Harley.

This is one of those situations where I would say you have a couple of options. Depending on how confident you are about your dog's digestive abilities, you have the option of inducing vomiting. It typically takes at least a few hours for food to move from the stomach into the intestines, so we still have time to prevent most digestion from occurring. If you decide to just take the wait and see approach, it's possible you might not see anything. The most common thing to look out for here would be diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy. Monitor feces for any distinct blackness or redness. Inducing vomit would likely prevent these from occurring if done soon. Because this is seafood and, by your question, I am assuming was spoiled, we cannot completely rule out the possibility of some pretty nasty viral and bacterial infections residing on the crab. If this were the case, it can cause pretty serious illness that would likely require hospitalization. This is not likely but worth mentioning. Hope this all makes sense.

Dogs love to eat stinky stuff. You can take him to a veterinarian to have the vet make him regurgitate the rotten crab. You can also do nothing and just observe him. watch for diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain. If he happens to start vomiting or having diarrhea you can do the following: I would fast Frank for 12 hours and then put him on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.

Eating sand crabs can cause gastrointestinal issues, it depends how many he ate as well but it wouldn't surprise me is his abdomen area is sore. you should monitor him for vomiting, constipation or lack of appetite, if you see any of those happening in the next 24-48 hours- take Bubby to the vet in order to get him checked. in the meantime offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days.

That is about double her dose for her weight. It can cause constipation and abdominal cramping. I would try to feed her canned pumpkin and canned food to make sure she gets enough water to help prevent constipation. If you notice any blood or her straining then I would see a vet.

Chocolate toxicity is determined by the type of chocolate, the amount ingested, and the size of your dog. We would need to know the size/weight of the ball and weight of your dog to give appropriate toxicity advice. If your doing is doing fine at this point, it is probably a non-toxic dose. Diarrhea and vomiting can occur secondary to the sugar and fat. I would monitor and feed a bland diet if necessary.
