My dog vomited after bones, now has seizures & knots. What's wrong?

I’m sorry to hear about Paislee! The most likely scenario is gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) which is often brought on by eating something new/different. However it can also be caused by toxin, infection, organ disease, cancer, or other. If she’s just vomited the few times, pick up the food and water and monitor. Reintroduce water 4 hours after the vomiting episode and a small meal 12 hours after vomiting episode. Try a bland diet (half plain boiled/canned chicken half plain cooked white rice) for a few days and I expect the diarrhea to improve after 1-3 days. (Then transition back to her regular diet slowly over 3-5 days.) If at ANY time she is lethargic, vomiting, not wanting to eat, or you have other concerns, you need to go to the vet clinic right away to make sure it’s nothing more serious. If Paislee’s has vomited several more times, it’s time to head to the ER clinic. The veterinarian will do a good physical exam and may recommend x-rays and/or bloodwork to help narrow down the cause of the vomiting. They can also treat the nausea and administer fluids for any dehydration that has occurred. Best of luck to you and Paislee!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry Shadow isn't feeling well. It could be pancreatitis but it could also be just general stomach upset. He ate something his body isn't used to and there were sharp bone fragments. He could also have a piece of the bone stuck somewhere. I would recommend taking him to the vet because he is young and I don't want him to dehydrate. They may need to take X-rays. They can then give him medications to calm his stomach. In the future I would not recommend giving Shadow any bones for fear of the above things. Good luck and kisses to Shadow!

If you have an emergency vet available in your area, I would strongly recommend getting him seen right away. Keep him warm, keep him hydrated by offering low sodium chicken broth, ice cubes to lick and get him seen the second you can. And make sure to submit the vet bill to whoever fed him bones and people food. It may not do any good, but it may make them more aware of the consequences of feeding pets something they shouldn't have.

It sounds like Jax may be suffering from either gastritis or even pancreatitis from goat and ham bones/ meat. Since this has been going on for over 24 hours I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. They may recommend an x-ray to look for an obstruction from the bones as well as blood work to see if he has pancreatitis. He will likely need anti nausea medications to help him improve. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

This sounds quite serious for Beautifull. Pork bones can splinter and cause significant damage to the esophagus, stomach and intestines. In some cases, they can perforate the gastrointestinal tract or cause an obstruction/blockage. Unless a parasite burden is enormous, worms are highly unlikely to cause an obstruction. However, if she did have a huge flea infestation, she could have developed anemia (low red blood cell count) as a result of the fleas consuming her blood. Since this has been going on for another 36 hours, I am concerned that Beautifull may be severely dehydrated and/or anemic, which may be contributing to her severe lethargy. Beautifull needs to be seen by a vet immediately for an exam, red blood cell count (on a CBC or PCV), and abdominal x-rays to get to the source of her problem. In the future, make sure she receives a high quality flea preventative (Nexgard, Bravecto, Advantix) once per month.

Poor girl. I would highly recommend taking Ella to your local vet if she has vomited more than 2 times and is acting as ill as you say. Even if she vomited up most of the bone it could have still caused some irritation to her GI tract. Her shivering is likely due to her being in pain/discomfort. The vet can give her injectable medication that won't be thrown back up to help her comfort and also stop the vomiting. I would not recommend any over the counter human pain medication for your pet because it will likely make things worse. I do hope that your pet EllaMae is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

It sounds as Ella is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
