Okay. Thank you. Mine won't eat the high dollar, good-for-them-treats, so I resorted to Gerber's Graduates Puffs, bc they are nutritionally deplete and great for training. The main thing I have found is some companies use ethoxyquin (a preservative) which can have adverse effects on a dog, and is toxic. I used to feed that semi-soft burger-cheese stuff (occasionally), Ol' Roy's and Purina makes it. I think the Purina's contains the ethoxyquin, and the Roy's doesn't. (I may have that mixed up).

Just a suggestion: Have a camera ready to record any weird behavior for your vet, if she does happen to do it again. No video? Take a few rapid rapid succession stills for him/her to see.

Also, if she gulped any of those treats she could have a very slight, partial blockage, and you would see poop in different consistencies, but in the same movement. It may just have taken longer to get through her system than the other foods she eats.

Did your vet do an xray? No need to answer that, but I think that would be a next step before an endoscopy (or special gastro equipment).... Less invasive, less expensive, and can give quite a bit of info...
