Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I am not a vet, never played one on TV... My friend in Germany, who has two Newfoundlands which eat all kinds of weird things (sewing pins, a whole cushin worth, just for starters.) said her vet had her feed the dog sauerkraut, the long, stringy kind. The kraut wraps around the stuff in the stomach/intestines, and the dog can pass them, maybe. The newfies live on, after many adventures of eating odd and dangerous things.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Or an obstruction of some sorts. I agree get to a vet to make sure, not worth messing around with.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm not a vet, but if it was my dog, i'd dash off to the vet post haste. Sounds serious. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 WHy isn't your friend at the vet? This sounds very much like it could be a very painful bowel obstruction. If she won't provide the required vet care, can you at least encourage her to bring the dog to the vet for a decent and humane death? > > So...my friend's dog ate some cooked chicken bones about 3 days ago. > Hasn't pooped since then, and threw up today.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 main thing... is the dog still eating? if he can eat and drink without barfing immediately he might be ok. of course, i'm a little late here. and would probably consider a vet too. i know that when my dog gets diarrhea for a day or two she doesnt poop for a couple days until she gets regular again. she continues to eat though.
