IF he bit off a tiny bit of the jerky before it was softened it could have caused a tiny tear in his intestine somewhere. Most often it's the large dogs seen with these kinds of intestinal injuries but I have seen them in the small breeds as well & am not a fan of any kind of jerky treats/raw hide type of treats/chews that are hard & soften with chewing/saliva as there is always a risk of a piece breaking off before softened. You say he chewed a chord ? Did he actually eat some of it ? if yes then it may be a piece of wire that caused it. Also he could have IBS or Colitis & anything can set off either of these things. In the future when giving any kind of treats always try one thing at a time & wait several days in between trying out something else new, this way you know what caused the problem. If he continues to eat everything he can get his little mouth on you may want to try a basket muzzle to prevent this behavior. I'll be Praying for him
