My 12 week old english bulldog swallowed a whole mini rawhide bone what should i do??

Question

she isnt choking of anything, she seems fine but will her bowel movements be affected or her digestive tract?

Answer 1

get her to the vet immediately....my 2nd dog was given rawhide bones until she had to have surgery because they don't completely digest. almost $2,000.00 later she was fine and NEVER had a rawhide again. our 3rd dog gets pigs ears. Best of luck.

Answer 2

Keep a close eye on the dog, but in your favor, bulldogs have really resilient digestive systems. And those rope bones are made of materials that dogs can ingest safely. You could try a little olive oil to lube the pump so to speak. Call the vet and ask about the olive oil.

Answer 3

I'd call the vet. You probably just need to make sure her bowels are moving properly and she'll send it out eventually, but if it's capable of stopping up the digestive tract, she may need surgery.

Answer 4

how large is a mini rawhide bone? hopefully it has rounded ends, but it is stiff, and depending upon length, may not be able to safely pass the intestines, as they snake around pretty sharply. Call your vet, see if he/she feels a visit is warranted, and if not now, under what conditions should you bring it in?

Answer 5

it will take a matter of days to see if any ill affects will come from this ie dioreha, vomiting or not going at all, the only way you can tell is paying for an xray at the vets to see if it got lodged....

Answer 6

I think you should take her to the vet right away if you let the bone get soggy it couldbecome dangerous for her and make her really sick.

Answer 7

watch her, and if she appears to be in any discomfort, then take her to the vet...but if she seems normal, just wait for it to pass
