The dog's digestive system is not intended to handle large amounts of roughage. Corn also causes bloat in dogs due to the process of fermentation. Corn unless ground is not good for dogs. By corn on the cob.....I hope you did not mean he is eating the cob also!

If your dog just at the corn, he should be fine. BUT if he ate the cob as well, you probably have a major problem! Dogs cannot digest a corn cob, and it will block their intestines. If it blocks his intestine, the dog will not be able to keep food down and will throw up everything it eats or drinks. Left untreated the dog will starve to death. The only treatment for this is surgery.
You need to take your dog to the vet asap, tell them what happened and have them take some x-rays. They may need to do a barium series to determine exactly where the cob is located.

that's risky. save a very close eye on the canines, this may reason an an intestinal obstruction which will require surgical treatment. If it really is any convenience for you, some years in the past a baby fed my GSD 0.5 a corn cob and besides the undeniable fact that it really is suggested that corn cobs are indigestable, she did digest it, it did not come out in a unmarried finished piece in her feces and he or she had no themes.

Nothing will happen from eating a little corn but don't let him chew on the cob. He may swallow a sharp chunk which can scratch or cut his GI tract.

corn is undigestable for dogs and a boig cause of food allergies in dogs, so letting your dog eat corn at all, cob or no, is a bad idea because it could get sick.

The cob is not digestable and could cause a intestinal blockage. Keep an eye on his bowel movements.

the same thing what would happen if you ate corn. you would poop out corn. How does that happen you can even chew corn up and you would still poop out whole corn. i think it is the eleventh wonder of the world.

Nothing, it's probably good for the dog. Dogs can eat a varied diet, not just meat.

Not much...most dog foods have some corn in them. He'll just have really interesting textured poop!
