My puppy ate ceramic and is lethargic. Should I take her to the vet?

This will likely exit the body with feces. It is not really big enough to cause trouble in a dog the sixe of a Shetland Sheep dog. I would monitor his poop and check it for the next three or four days. You will probably find it. If your dog starts having diarrhea or/and vomiting then you will need to take him to a vet as it might have gotten stuck somewhere. The same is valid if his stool turns black, or if there is frank blood in the stool.

If she chewed them up into tiny pieces, she will likely pass them. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian right away. He will likely need x-rays to see if the bathroom decor is causing a blockage in his stomach or intestines. If so, he will require surgery to remove it. There are of course other causes of vomiting, but that is my fear given the history you have provided. I hope this information helps.

Her stomach may be upset because of eating the sticks, because of the diet change, a combination of both, there's no way to tell just from her symptoms. It may be that there is a piece of the stick still inside causing an obstruction or pain. I recommend getting her in to see your vet for an exam, possibly x-rays, right away if she starts vomiting again, develops diarrhea, continues to refuse food, and/or continues to be lethargic. If there is an obstruction or perforation somewhere in her GI tract, getting her sooner ir better than later, as this condition could require surgery.

Hi. Depending on the size of pieces she's ingested, she may be able to just pass them in her stool. If not, she may become blocked which would cause vomiting, often times not even being able to keep water down. It does not sound like that is the case for Sloan. I would keep an eye on her, but if any vomiting or diarrhea occurs I'd take her in to the vet for an X-ray.

If she chewed it up, she should be able to pass the pieces. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. If she develops any of these symptoms, have her examined by your veterinarian. Abdominal x-rays can be done to diagnose any obstructions.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Meeko. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian right away. His symptoms are worrisome. There is a chance that the bone has become lodged in his stomach or intestines. If so, this requires emergency surgery. I hope this information helps!
