It's a weird bone and I've taken pictures of it. So, I then put the dogs in the house and walked around the yard and went to check under a shrub that they've seemed rather interested in and found two corn cobs that were eaten clean and also the ends had been chewed. I immediately got concerned knowing that they should never have corn cobs. I came in and looked on the computer and it says that if corn cobs are ingested by dogs, especially small dogs, that it feels like a brillo pad moving along the digestive system and then blocks the small intestine. Tuesday, Maddie was doing a lot of puking. I didn't think too much of it because she didn't really act sick. Then yesterday, Libby started puking in the afternoon and probably puked 3 times...both of them it was just yellow bile. One of them puked this morning and the noise woke me, but I don't think either of them have puked since. I believe they have both pooped today, so that's a good sign. I just don't know what to think and maybe am making a mountain out of a molehill.
Maybe it was an animal that drug this stuff into our yard, but it sure makes me wonder if these things were put there by someone. What do you all think? If there is any more puking, I will be calling my vet in the morning. So far Faith has not puked, thank goodness. Here's pictures...what kind of a bone do you think that is? I took pictures from different views. |
To me, it looks like a bone from a pork chop. I wonder, since the corn cobs were under a bush, if a raccoon or opossum dragged it into the yard? Do you have any troublesome neighbors? I pray it's not something nefarious like an intentional poisoning. If it was intentional, though, the people would have to know that corn cobs are dangerous to Yorkies and I hate to admit, I didn't know that.
