My dog ate rawhide. How long does it take to pass and is he okay?

IT can take several days to pass, sometimes it stays in the stomach for some time before it continues to the intestines. as long as he is eating normally and not vomiting i would recommend to continue monitoring him and checking his poo daily.

If he chewed them well then there is a good chance he won't get a blockage. Especially if the rawhides were labeled as easily digestible. Try offering him 1 slice of bread and a soft canned food diet for the next couple of days. Offer him plenty of water and take him on 20-30 minute brisk walks twice a day to encourage GI motility and the passage of the raw hides. Then monitor Chopper for the next 24-72 hrs for any signs of blockage which includes: excessive vomiting (even water), lack of appetite, few feces, and abdominal pain. Best case scenario is that he will just have an upset stomach (mild vomiting and/or diarrhea) that will improve with a bland diet (boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese) after a few days time.

I remember your question from yesterday. It can take up to 72 hours for this plastic piece to pass, so I wouldn't be too worried just yet. As long as he is acting normal, there isn't a cause for concern. Keep checking his feces over the next couple of days, and if you don't see it, then take him into the vet. As I said yesterday, if Hachi stops eating, starts vomiting, has diarrhea, and/or becomes very lethargic, then rush him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps set your mind at ease!

The problem with rawhide treats is that they can cause GI obstructions when swallowed whole. There is a chance this could pass without problem, and there is nothing to be worried about, but to be safe, keep an eye on Luna. Signs of an obstruction include vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, and a complete absence of passing feces. If you see any of those signs, take her into a vet right away. It can take up to 72 hours for these things to pass, so watch her for the next three days. Best of luck, I hope this helps.

It's hard to tell, it depends how big it was and how badly your puppy is affected. generally speaking it should dissolve in the stomach but it can take many days until it does, you will need to take him to the vet in order to get anti vomiting meds and see if it is enough.

These are not very digestible, so it may be somewhat concerning depending on the size of it. It's a good sign that he was able to swallow it, because these tend to get stuck in the throat when they are too big. The biggest concern is that the rawhide will get stuck in the intestines. These blockages can cause life-threatening complications. However, most dogs are able to pass various sized objects through their intestines without any problem. Signs of a blockage include vomiting, not defecating and a dramatic decrease in activity. If you notice any of these signs, then it would be best to take Kane to the vet for further evaluation. Otherwise, this should be passed in the stool within the next 3-5 days. I hope that helps and all is well with Kane.

In most situations I think wood would probably be digested and you might not even be able to identify it in the stool. It can also take 5 days or more for something to pass through the gastrointestinal tract. As long as Finn is not vomiting and is eating normally I wouldn't be concerned.
