My dog ate an enormous rawhide chew.....

[Pablo]

My black mixed pooch today downed an HUGE rawhide chew in very short order. He weighs about 30 pounds dripping wet and the chew was the size of a 15 DDD shoe! I normally cut them in quarters...the girls....

Anyway he now is shaking and panting and just not right at all.

Should I give something to him to help him pass it?

Reach inside and pull.

Sounds serious, I would take him to a 24 hour emergency Vet.

Of course these are Hecho en China.

I would imagine this results in an enormous rawhide [censored].

I apologize. I was obviously mistaken when I thought you knew you ought to seek the advice of a vet if your dog was in serious distress.

Hope everything turns out OK!

My boss's dog just died from one of those! They get stuck where the stuff enters the stomach. Those rawhide chew things should be banned!

Had the same thing happen with one of mine , vet said unless the pieces swallowed were really huge it would pass . It did .

Good luck !

For real - if your dog is in distress, take it in.

My previous dog tipped the trash can over and ate an entire chicken carcass. You wanna talk about dog problems... Try giving hydrogen peroxide to a German Shepard through a turkey baster.

 

[Chris142]

I'm serious! Those things can be deadly. My boss spend $4000 on his dog and it still died.

 

[Pablo]

Predictable, too.

 

[Pablo]

He seems OK now. We will watch him closely through the night. The panting and shaking have come to an end and he seems pretty chipper....just watching for bloating. I'm sure the Hershey squirts will start any time.......

 

[Fester]

Hope he's OK, give him all the water he wants, softens up the leather, makes it pass better.

My Lab ate a large roll in record time,it was the size of a baseball bat, he had no problem, but I got worried, and now only get the roasted cow shank bones.

I have a cat and two dogs.

Milking compassion? You? Strange.
