Think he ate a sock. Pooped part of it out now vomiting the past 12 hours, did poop this morning
It sounds like your dog might have ingested a sock, which can sometimes lead to gastrointestinal upset or even an obstruction. The fact that part of the sock was passed in the stool is a positive sign, but the ongoing vomiting is concerning and suggests there might still be some irritation or blockage.
At home, there are a few steps you can take to help your dog:
Firstly, keep a close eye on her for any additional symptoms. Watch for signs of distress, such as lethargy, abdominal pain, or a bloated abdomen, as these could indicate a more serious issue.
It's also crucial to ensure she stays hydrated, as vomiting can lead to dehydration. Offer her small amounts of water frequently, but don't force her to drink if she's not interested.
Regarding her diet, you might want to withhold food for a short period, around 12 to 24 hours, to allow her stomach to settle. After this period, you can try offering a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small amounts to see if she can keep it down.
Since the vomiting seems to be episodic and triggered by certain factors, try to identify and avoid these triggers if possible.
If the vomiting persists beyond 24 hours, or if she shows any signs of severe discomfort, it's important to consult a veterinarian. They can perform an examination and possibly imaging to ensure there's no remaining obstruction that could cause further issues.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
