It's excellent that you are so detailed and offered such in an easy-to-understand timeframe. This is exactly the kind of info I want...Thank you! And now I know nooo dental chews for Piper, period! Just ain't worth it to me. Thanks for informative post. And hugs and smooches for your sweet, now healthy baby boy! |
He’s still not pooping completely normally, but I’m guessing that is because of the bland diet and the medications. He’s alert and happy and playful, though, so I know he’s feeling okay.
I’m still thinking over how the chew might have affected his system. It was the “5 to 30 pound dog” size, but it was pretty big for his little mouth — cylindrical in shape, about 2 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter, and very hard and ridged before it was chewed. I’m thinking it’s possible he swallowed some of the pieces that broke off before they were masticated enough to become gummy, and those pieces might have irritated his stomach and/or upper digestive tract. That’s just a guess though, and I’m certainly not willing to experiment with one again to see whether it happens again.
