My dog ate a rubber toy and is vomiting. What to do without an ER vet?

This sex toy may be causing an obstruction, which is fatal without treatment. Gator has to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Poor Jack! I would be very concerned that this chew toy he ate is now causing a blockage leading to him vomiting. A GI blockage is fatal without treatment, so since you know he ate a chew toy, the best thing to do is take him into a vet immediately for a physical exam and x-rays. If the chew toy is causing a blockage, it will need to be removed surgically. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting and inappetence can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I am concerned that he could be showing signs of an obstruction which is something that requires therapy which sometimes includes surgery. I recommend that you have Jager evaluated by a veterinarian at this point for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start him on medications to make him feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good night!

The only thing you should do right now is to monitor her for any signs of an obstruction which includes: excessive vomiting (especially water), decreased appetite, lethargy and little to no stool production. This sounds like something that should pass through with no problems, but just keep an eye on here tonight and definitely get her seen by a vet tomorrow if she develops any concerning symptoms. You can also try feeding her a piece of bread 1-2 times a day to help bind up the rubber and help facilitate its passage through her GI tract. I do hope that Sage does well after ingesting this foreign object. Best of luck and take care.

The rest of this toy could be the cause of Sunny's symptoms, and I think he sounds sick enough that this is a medical emergency. He needs veterinary care now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hercules. If he has continued to vomit, he will need to see his veterinarian again. It is worrisome that he vomited despite giving him the Cerenia tablet. This is a strong medication designed to control nausea and vomiting. If the vomits through it, there is a chance of an obstruction in his stomach or intestines. He could have more of the toy still inside him. His veterinarian will likely recommend x-rays of his belly. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Hello, sorry to hear about Holly. It sounds like Holly may have some rubber bands stuck in her stomach that are causing an obstruction. She will need to be seen by a veterinarian and have x-rays taken. If confirmed that she has an obstruction, the most likely next step is that she will need surgery to remove these rubber bands. Holly must feel really sick since this has been going on for a week. Have her evaluated today to prevent any further damage to her GI tract. Rubber banks may cause intestines to become piled and this can lead to multiple complications. Do not offer her food until she is evaluated by your veterinarian. If your veterinarian cannot see Holly today, you should bring her to another veterinarian or emergency clinic today. Hope this helps and best of luck.
