I do appreciate everyone's advice I am not trying to be rude or insincere. However, I need to decide what I feel is best. After seeking advice from not only here but family members who are more experienced than I am in owning dogs I decided to wait to see how they were since they have been acting normal.
Right now they are fine and I have seen no ill effects from the incident. |
I am not being rude either. I think you are gambling and it is a dangerous thing to do with your pups' lives. You chose to ignore our advice and took the advice of family members. You say they have more experience....you don't even know how much each of us who posted have. If you came back and said you called your vet and he/she said to watch...I might be surprised ... but certainly less horrified than to hear you chose a lay person who agreed with what you wanted to do. I am left to think that you expected us to tell you not to worry and when we didn't, you went elsewhere... family.
If you don't have a regular vet for your pups, I suggest you get one. They should at the very least, be seen once/year; and most vets after you establish a relationship with them, will advise you in times like this.
No blood in stool is good, but there could still be problems...these things don't always happen immediately. They still could have tears if this wood stuff is moving slowly .. and they could have obstructions.
Nine chances out of ten things will go well.....but that one time would be horrifying and I am sure you would look back and want to kick yourself. I am not willing to gamble like that and am only trying to let you and anyone who reads this know it is a dangerous thing to do.
Wishing your pups well.
