Dogs are human best friends. They accompany us and bring us infinite happiness and joy. However, as dog owners, we are also responsible for the health of dogs, including their diet, exercise and other aspects. Today, let’s discuss what to do if a puppy can’t digest the bones and cannot pull them out.
When dogs eat bones, we need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Provide dogs with bones with good chewability.
Bone chewing is a way for dogs to release stress and anxiety, and it also helps to reduce the odor.
But not all bones are suitable for dogs. For example, bones with smaller structures and higher hardness such as chicken bones and duck bones are likely to scratch internal organs such as the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, and even cause damage to dog teeth and gastrointestinal tract rupture.
Therefore, it is recommended that dog owners provide pets with beef bones, sheep bones, etc.
2. Treat and preserve bones carefully.
When preparing bones for dogs, excess fat and meat need to be removed to allow dogs to get safer and cleaner food. =
At the same time, avoid contact with moisture and bacteria when storing bones to avoid affecting the health of the dog.
It is recommended to cut the bones into smaller pieces, pack them and refrigerate in the refrigerator for up to one week.
If the pet accidentally swallows the bones and finds that the puppy cannot digest the bones and cannot pull them out, effective treatment measures should be taken in a timely manner.
1. Observe the dog's mental state.
If the dog is in good spirits and has no symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, it means that the bones are in the stomach, and you need to wait for the bones to be naturally digested and excreted by the muscle and stomach power.
Pay attention to dietary conditioning and avoid eating too much or too little to avoid affecting gastrointestinal motility.
2. Spit out phlegm and spit out (take tricks to spit out bones).
If the dog is in poor mental state, vomits frequently, and has abnormal bowel movements, treatment is required.
At this time, drugs are needed to promote gastrointestinal motility, and you can also try to spit out bones by resolving phlegm and spitting.
The specific operation method is as follows: feed the dog dilute salt water (30 grams of salt + 1000 ml of water) to drink, and constantly urge the dog to spit out the bones.
It should be noted that this method is only suitable for dogs to swallow smaller, softer bones.
3. Surgical treatment.
If the dog is in serious condition and cannot expel bones through natural defecation or spitting, surgical treatment is required.
The surgery is performed under anesthesia and can remove the bones safely and effectively. After the operation, appropriate rehabilitation care is required for pets, including pain relief, oral anti-inflammatory drugs, cleaning incisions, etc.
In short, it is a relatively common case that puppies cannot digest and pull out their bones.
Dog owners should always pay attention to their pets, their health and daily eating habits, and avoid health problems caused by inappropriate eating styles.
If pets encounter such a situation, we can take corresponding treatment methods based on the dog's mental state and specific symptoms to ensure that they can recover from their health as soon as possible, continue to be our loyal partners, and accompany us through every time.
