My puppy chewed a litter box freshener cube and is salivating.

Oh no! Clumping cat litter can cause intestinal blockage if she eats enough of it. Also, losing weight is not expected unless they were not feeding her enough or she really is sick. The smelling like urine could be from getting in the box but it could also indicate kidney damage if she got into something toxic. I recommend to play it safe and have her examined by the veterinarian. She is so young and as you know, puppies are more fragile than adults. Try to get her in today if at all possible. Also make sure that the normal things are happening, she’s eating well (puppies should have big appetites), she’s having normal bowle movements and urinating normally and she should be playful. For the next 24 hours, switch her to a plain boiled white meat chicken and plain boiled white rice. This will be easy to digest. I hope it’s nothing serious and that you found this helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Crunchy. Poor girl sounds nauseous, which would cause the excessive drooling. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, 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!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Royce. Poor boy! It sounds like eating this deodorant has really upset his stomach. The drooling indicates nausea. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food tonight, 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Tater. Poor boy. I'm wondering if he's nauseous from licking the bar of soap causing the drooling. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the drooling continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Madeleine is most likely going to be okay. The wood litter typically is not large enough to cause any major problems and if she chewed on them and made them even smaller. I would monitor for now and if you begin to notice any symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., then I would recommend taking her in to be examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

No, I wouldn't make either of them vomit. Keep an eye on the puppy for now, and I can give you a home remedy for Elke 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. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Excessive salivation is often a sign of nausea. Nausea and diarrhea can occur secondary to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, parasites, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Lily evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. At the very least they can start her on medications to make her feel better and check her hydration status. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!
