Ingested Foreign Body Removal in Dogs

Our dog is went outside 20 mins ago with a steak bone, and she came back coughing and wheezing. We are assuming that she ate a piece of the bone, but we couldn't seem to get out. We tried the Heimlich maneuver (or the dog equivalent). She doesn't want to drink water or anything. When she lays down the coughing settles down, but the coughing is still frequent enough to the point where I don't think she will be able to sleep tonight.

Dog is having watery diarrhea and is straining to poop. He is eating fine and drinking plenty of fluids, but will not let me anywhere near his anus. He did have small drops of blood in his stool but nothing extremely significant. He acts normal also and is running around but stops to his butt. I have palpate his stomach and intestines area and there is no abdominal pain. What should I do? And can it wait until the regular vet opens?

Im a worried mother of an 8 year old Lab/pit mix and it has been almost 3 weeks I have been dealing with this issue. On May 31, I took my dog to the vet and I explained to vet he was still having bowel movements, but was throwing up every other day. Dr. did not seem worried and thought it could have been an upper respiratory infection. My dog was prescribed Famotidine, Doxycycline, cough tablets. My dogs health has not improved and I also want to mention blood work returned normal and the x-rays were not clear if there was blockage of a foreign object. Today he has thrown up 2 and has not had any bland foods or a bowel movement. Im worried because he is losing weight and is not his normal self.

Dog swallowed a sock yesterday. She hasn’t shown any signs of discomfort and is eating, pooping, and playing like normal. She is 4 months old. She has yet to throw up or poop out said sock.

Our dog ate a plastic squeaker from a stuffed toy. The next day she threw up what looked like a good portion of the chewed squeaker and then pooped out more of it. We thought everything was fine until she started to throw up every time she ate anything solid. She would either throw up on her own or go outside to eat grass and make herself throw up. The vet took x-rays and saw nothing in her intestines but something dark in her stomach. He asked us to not feed her for 12 hours and bring her back to x-ray again. We did, and the dark area was in the same spot in her stomach. He felt there was an obstruction in there. Liquids passed with no problem only solid food would come up. After the surgery, he found no foreign object in her stomach but just a lot of inflammation in that area along with inflammation at the beginning of her small intestine and her pancreas was inflamed. (pancreatitis). We are now at almost 48 hours after surgery and she is eating very little. (about four small pieces of chicken). She is drinking well and walking around but not really eating. The vet keeps mentioning gut motility and I'm just worried. If there was no obstruction, what has changed that will now stop her from vomiting when she eats anything solid? He has her on a strong anti-nausea med and gut motility med, along with pain meds. What time frame should we expect to see her intestines start to move things along? If she's really not eating, I can't imagine she would need to have a bowel movement? Thank you for your professional advice. Also, should I get a second opinion?

My mini american eskimo Betty had a piece of bully stick retrieved via endoscopy out of her lower esophagus. This was 4 days ago, and today after chowing down soft food along with her meds she has started to cough & hack again. She hadnt really until now. Is her throat still irritated?

My dog is a 30 pound cocker spaniel mix. He ate a piece of plastic from a dexas scooper, The piece of plastic is .5 inches by 2.75 inches. He pooped about 5-6 about half the size of a dime initially in the first day or two after eating it. I took him to the emergency vet but they did a physical exam only and said an X-ray would not show plastic. I called the manufacturer and they said if it had not been all chewed up it would show up. I’ve checked my dogs poop every single time for any plastic and nothing. His apetite is fine and his pooping is fine. He does seem a tad bloated but could that be from me overfeeding him chicken and pumpkin purée? I’m taking him back to his regular vet in 2 days and am requesting X-rays. His energy appears fine and he has no vomiting. Could the object still be stuck in his stomach? Any other course? Should I wait on X-rays before insisting on an endoscopy? The pieces of plastic he pooped were sharp

This morning my dog swallowed a whole makeup sponge that had lots of chemicals and bacteria on it. He is now very lethargic and hasn't eaten or drank very much either. Is there any way he will be able to digest this or will he have to undergo surgery to get it out?​

This is the second time my dog had surgery for removal of a foreign object. His post surgery is nothing like the first one. It was nice and clean he recovered quickly. This time some other surgeon operated on him the same day he had an eye surgery for an ulcer and had pneumonia at the same time. He is taking medicine for his eye, for his pneumonia and for his surgery. He didn't eat for 3-4 days. They used a razor too harsh so he has deep razor burns all over including on his moles. But my biggest concern is that he is leaking feces non stop all day. They said call us if he has diarrhea or has oozing. Not to mention they sent him home after 24 hours. I believe it won't hurt asking second and third opinion. He is a Boston Terrier and he's 4.5 yrs old.

My small dog had an endoscopy to remove part of a stuffed toy. Its been nearly 48hrs since the procedure and he still has a cough and is exhausted. It seems his throat is very sore. He ate some boiled chicken, but then when we tried again, it irritated his throat and he ended up coughing until he puked. Its a struggle to get him to eat because of this discomfort. How long does it take to heal enough that he's comfortable again? What can I do in the meantime??
