Help! She swallowed her bully stick My puppy was chewing on her bully stick, and swallowed it. I guess it wasn't as big as I thought it was. Should I be concerned? She is acting fine. I have looked everywhere for the piece, and that is the only thing I can figure is that she swallowed it. Maybe it was an inch and a half, maybe smaller. Oh, I don't know............what should I do?

I don't know. I would call the vet and until you hear from them, don't induce vomiting. That could hurt the throat. They will probably tell you to just watch... |
How long before I can breathe easy---that the stick will 'pass'? |
Is she okay? I hope so. I had a scare with my little one with a dental chew that was soft. I didn't realize she would be able to eat it so fast. She had trouble with a BM. She was scared and kept trying and then running close to me as if she wanted help. I watched her carefully, then decided to put her in a warm bath. It did the trick. It was scary to me and it happened late at night when I had no one to call. Keep a close eye on your baby and hope you have good news to tell us. |
Maybe she chewed it up smaller and ate it?? I dont know....sorry.. |
Hopefully she chewed it more than you thought and it won't be a problem. If it was that large when she swallowed it, an inch and a half is pretty big for her to pass and it can cause some damage. Worse it can cause a blockage. Call your vet. Some signs to watch for are loss of appetite, vomiting, lethargy, painful abdomin, diarrhea and straining to poop. |
Reading my post again, I hope I didn't scare you. I just wanted to make sure you knew those things are a possibility so speak with your vet. Most likely, she will pass it without any trouble. :) |
Just now seeing this, Hope your babie is ok, It should pass on its own, But maybe you should call the vet to be sure..please keep us updated. |
Just seeing this...hope your baby is ok. |
awwww hoping for an update...ill check back later ;) |
I would call the vet first. I would not just wait it out. Problems could develop later on tonight and you won't be able to contact the vet. Better safe than sorry. Hope everything turns out fine. |
Archie always has great advice, so I would follow that!! :thumbup: :thumbup: |
So far she has acted fine. She has eaten well today, been playful, and has pooped. (I examined it, and didn't see anything). Maybe it wouldn't come out so soon. I have searched for it thinking maybe she didn't swallow it, but haven't found it. I am going to continue to watch her and hopefully nothing troublesome will arise. This is about as bad as having a toddler! I thought my time of watching "little ones" was over! Thanks for all the good thoughts. I will keep you all posted! Lori |

Your absolutely correct. Yes it is very much the same as watching babies. It took Buddy three days before he vomited up a leg of a stuffed spider he got for Christmas last year. I never new he chewed the leg off. I threw the spider in the garbage when everyone left in the evening because he was guarding it and I won't allow that. I never missed the leg when I threw it away. Three nights later he woke me up in the middle of the night throwing up violently. I paniced when I saw this slimmy black thing about three inches long come out. I swear I thought it was some kind of slug. I tried to get myself to touch it and picked it up with a kleenex. It took me a couple of minutes before I realized what it was. I was shocked! Thank God he got it up because that could have caused real problems. I hope your little one will be ok. Just wanted to let you know it might be a couple of days IF she did swollow a large piece. I hope she gets it up if she did. |
Do you think she will throw it up, or will she be able to digest it--and poop it out? |
