My dog ate a large carrot whole but seems fine. Should I do anything?

Hello. I think Booka should be able to pass this just fine. Just watch for any signs of abdominal discomfort such as vomiting, diarrhea, retching, stretching, bloating, excessive water intake or loss of appetite. If Booka remains normal over the next 48-72 hours, then she will most likely be past all danger. But for the most part, she should be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Depending on the size of Koda and how big the piece of fork was that she ate, will determine if she will potentially have problems or not. She will most likely be fine. At this point, I would just monitor. What you will want to monitor Koda for are decreased appetite / activity, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain. These symptoms would indicate a potential problem from ingesting the piece of fork. Problems would include an intestinal obstruction or some type of laceration / puncture to the intestines as it passes through the GI tract. Koda will most likely pass this in her stool. I would watch her bowel movements for the next 24-48 hours to ensure that it has passed. If she is completely normal in 48 hours still, I would bet that she will be ok! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ok! Thanks for reposting! If he chewed it up, he will be fine. If he swallowed a big piece, since it is harder, there is a small chance it could cause an obstruction before the body breaks it down. Signs of an obstruction would be vomiting, lethargy and not eating. Overall Rey should be fine! Have a great day!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Georgie. Given that she is acting normally, I would not be concerned at this point in time. Keep monitoring her tonight, and if she is still normal in the morning, she should be ok. I hope this helps!

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Jay Junior is likely going to be just fine if it was just a small amount. This may cause him mild stomach upset which may result in diarrhea perhaps. Otherwise, he should be ok. Try to avoid this in the future. Good luck!

Hello. If Pie seems to be fine, then I would not worry. Most times the bone will be easily digested & pass on through. If he should develop any vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, hard bloated abdomen, or loss of appetite, please have him seen by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You need to monitor your Dolbie for the next 24-48hrs. Bones usually are digested in the stomach but they may form gastro-intestinal obstruction or cause constipation. If Dolbie starts to vomit, strain to pass faeces, is passing stools with blood or not passing any stools at all for longer than 24hrs, you will have to take him to your local vets right away. If after 48hrs he does not develop any symptoms, it will mean that he is out of danger.
