My dog threw up a nail and wood. Does she need to see a vet?

There is always the possibility that there is more frisbee in her stomach and/or intestinal tract. Toys such as these do have the potential for causing an intestinal obstruction. I would not take her into a vet now, but monitor her for the next 72 hours. If she continues to vomit, stops eating, starts having diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts throwing up water, or becomes very lethargic, those are signs of obstruction, and then I would take her into a vet right away.

This indeed sounds like there may be an obstruction now especially since she has not been able to pass any of the nail files with the diarrhea, There is a possibility that the files are just partially obstructing the bowel which is why she is not vomiting. Please take her to a veterinary emergency room now for some xrays. she will definitely need antibiotics due to the bleeding, but she actually may need surgery to remove the files.

An immediate check up is required as your veterinarian can easily make him sick and resolve the problem straight away. This ingestion is likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects including vomiting and diarrhea.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Milo. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. It is worrisome that he vomited wood pieces. This can be irritating and/or damaging to the gastrointestinal tract. If he is not drinking normally, I worry that he will become dehydrated. The veterinarian will examine him and determine how best to treat him. I hope this information helps!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Jayden is eating/drinking/pooping/peeing and playing normally, then I would just monitor him for now. If Jayden is vomiting, not eating, acting unwell, has a sore belly, or is not himself, then get him to the vet for some x-rays. In the meantime, feed a bland diet of boiled/boneless/skinless chicken breast and boiled rice in small frequent meals. Best of luck with Jayden!

If she is vomiting blood, it is best if she is treated by an ER vet. The more she continues to vomit, the worse it can become. It may be a sign of an obstruction or may be an ulcer from something else.

The little pieces of this chew probably upset her stomach. . withhold food for 12 hours then offer Nettle boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.
