My dog vomited deer horn chew shards. Does she need a vet now?

I would not recommend antlers as treats if Beau is able to get off chunks of the antler. If it doesn't dissolve in the stomach acid, it could cause pain in the GI tract and even cause painful constipation as it consolidates in the feces. You can continue to offer small amount of foods (maybe half of normal) for the next day or two. If Beau isn't interested in eating his food or seems painful or lethargic, or if the vomiting continues, he should be examined by a vet immediately.

Withhold food for 12 hours then offer Luna 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.

Poor Milo! If he is otherwise acting normal then you could withhold food for the day and see if the vomiting resolves. If so, then you could try a small amount of a bland diet, boiled chicken and white rice, this afternoon. Continue feeding the bland diet for a few days and the gradually transition back to his regular food. If the vomiting continues and/or he becomes lethargic then he needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. Your vet can take an x-ray, if needed, and then prescribe medications to help control the vomiting and make him feel better.

Unfortunately vomiting right after eating or drinking is often a sign of a foreign body obstruction. It is possible that Gunter ate a piece of a bone/rib etc. that has become lodged in his gastrointestinal tract. As this can be a life threatening condition, it is recommended to have him examined by a veterinarian and to have abdominal x-rays taken ASAP. Unfortunately, if X-rays do show a foreign body obstruction, surgical removal is usually the only solution. If no foreign body obstruction is noted on x-rays, your vet may give Gunter an injection of an anti-nausea medication called cerenia, give him SQ fluids for hydration (and which will help if he has pancreatitis from eating the deer or table food), as well as start him on either a prescription intestinal diet or recommend boiled rice and chicken for the next 3 days. Good luck!

1. Give ONE dose of famotidine (Pepcid) by mouth. They usually come in 10mg tablets. Give 1/2 tablet. 2. Wait 30 minutes and then feed one piece of bread. 3. No more food for at least 6 hours. Have water available at all times. If no more vomiting after 6 hours then go back to feeding as normal. The diarrhea should resolve on it's own in a day or so. If not, you can start him on a probiotic. One made for dogs; no human products. You can buy them at any large pet store like Petco. If the vomiting persists at any time he should see a vet ASAP.

I would be concerned that it could cause Skye some GI upset such as vomiting. If it does, I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
