| Trudy ate Toad Feces?! All of this happened on Sunday night 10/10. I took her outside and I saw that she was getting at something, before I could get to her it was gone. A few minutes later she was dry heaving, and then continued to get sick. We then rushed her to the 24 hour vet. After sitting for hours, we had xrays done to make sure it wasn't a rock or any foreign object. They did not seem too concerned when I said it most likely was toad feces from the large toads that frequently visit the patio. They decided to put her on Sucralfate and Albon and diagnosed her with Gastritis. It is now Friday morning and even though her appetite has returned and she is running around and playing more, I feel that she still makes a noise swallowing and sometimes makes a dry heaving sound. Is this something I should be concerned about? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Are we out of the water yet, as far as not causing internal harm? Please Help! |

| About a month ago my puppy Kinder ate a toad poop and I was worried about her. She did not get sick but I brought a sample of her feces in to be checked. I just had her spayed a week ago so her bloodwork was all normal and the feces was normal. I thought she could get worms or something. Good thing you brought your baby in when she got sick. I suppose each dog can have a reaction to things they eat. Our last yorkie Keally a few years ago ate a caterpillar and she got really sick. The vet put her on similar meds like yours and she was fine after that. Our six month old puppy is so quick we have to watch her steady when we are out side. Kinder will eat anything. Anyways glad your baby is better and I am sure she will be ok just keep a watch on her. As far as the noise when she swallows I would give your vet a call and ask them if that is normal.
