That sounds like what I went through with Buddy when he was 10mo.
old. He was throwing up and had black diahrea in the middle of the night.
When I saw blood I rushed him to the ER. Four days in the hospital and $2,000 after
they thought it may have been the nylabone. There were some form of grit in his lower intestines. He had every style and color because he was an aggressive chewer at the time. I threw everyone out and never bought anything made by nylabone again. If you read on the back label it states,
"small pieces may come off, the size of a grain of rice and SHOULD pass.
Guess what, sometimes they don't and this is what happens.
Always read the fine print because these manufactures cover themselves
with the SHOULD and could be and maybe's. These small pieces that they refer too can also cut the lining of the stomach because they are like slivers
of glass. I wouldn't by the digestable either. I don't trust any of those types
of things again. My vet said never, never give them this type of chew or
rawhide either. Your looking for trouble somewhere down the road. I now believe him.
I hope your baby feels better. Sorry you went through such a scare. |
