My friend was scooping up poop, and her glove fell out of her pocket. A young lab grabbed it, and started to play 'keep away'. Before she could corner him, the glove disappeared down his throat! 

Luckily, like most labs, he had an iron gut, and the glove passed without incident...

I hope your pup is feeling better soon!

have your vet check for "INTUSSUSCEPTION" of the intestine. A puppy does not need to swallow anything for this to happen. i cannot stress this enough. kurt

Yes.  Vomeisenhaus has a very very good point.

  I have a hunch this pups intake is not getting past the STOMACH

Diahrea ought to be also in the scheme of things  and it is not...


Really weird.

Sorry but I would be at another vet yesterday..

AND not making you feel sought after, a long time Breeder of gsd and cocker spaniels , I am a firm believer in Crates...large wire crates for all pups and dogs that live in my territory  whether inside or out..
Kennels outside are concrete and inside or even when I cannot watch...all dogs are kenneled when I am at work, gone, or cannot watch every little thing my pup or dog does..It is a rule for me.

Also I watch every BM my dogs  have from the day they are birthed till I sell, and all my dogs on my care I look at BM every day....Reason:

A dogs waste is a clue as to how your dog is doing and when you see a difference you immediately revalue food, play places and toys or things your dog has in his m outh...from the grass and the dirt he eats to the pieces of shells, rocks and flowers he grabs from the flowerbeds as many bad fungi are learking in your flowerbeds under bark to the   dead rotten fruit under your pear trees, and sometimes  any one of us may not even think   " OH no."...my pups or dog can eat that and we fail to pick up or know that ,  we are in charge of every breath and snort our dogs do...even till  they are 15 yrs old...

Please do not take offense....you are in the hands of many who care and are very knowledgeable here.. Let us know....hope the vet is aware of the paint chips and hope they are not stuck in the stomach....

Keep asking questions and get another vet if you have to...

I feel for  you , and your worries do worry me..I quite breeding 3 yrs ago because at my age I get almost in panic mode if something is wrong so I chose to  hang up my world of new life. I keep my kids safe and they are all healthy because I have rules.. Even if others do not like my rules, they always have worked and that is all that matters.

Yep Sun;  I pulled a sock (mans sock) out of a 9 week old puppy's butt, just helped it out.  They will eat anything they are not supposed to eat.  Nancheeky

Thanks guys they did every test they had to exempt led since his white blood cells were higher instead of lower. Today picked beast up from the hospital Doc said I can take him home he looked so much better as if it were another dog. Even tho much more energergetic,.still no apettite. Ive been trying chicken broth with success. Beast is not a picky eater but a gulper instead. So I tried green tripe by solid gold which I usually mix in their kibble and he ate about half a can. I called the clinic to ask if green tripe was ok since he hasn't ate in around 5 days they said it was ok. So right now im guessing the Doc was right about it being a infection.

* chicken broth with no success. Green tripe only thing he will nibble on. Ate a lil more green tripe this morning, when I take him to the yard he start eating grass and weeds tho which is really weird I stopped him since I know itll make him vommit.

Call your vet and ask him if he has any problem with you giving the dog some pepto-bismol for the upset stomach. If might help settle his tummy to keep the food down. Just please, check first with your vet, some medications can cause upset stomach.

DO not use Pepto Bismol

too much aspirin in it

Use Imodium AD or Kaopectate    You can pic up a PEctate bottle at Petsmart for DOGS>>

GLAD he is eating...do not worry about too much TOO FASt>>go slow>

LET HIM eat broth with rice and more broth and more broth...USE an electrolyte juice with no flavor if you do not have a dog one on hand.

I keep electrolyte solution for pups and always keep a pribiotic also..in a week if he improves, start him on a probiotic for his gut..

then and only then ease into whole food...treat him like a recovering patient from surgery....Liquids with lots of broth with litte salt..but get the electrolyte solution down him someway ..


You can also try  Malt o meal or cream of wheat with broth   kinda sloppy....They have iron and etc. Mix the electrolyte with his broth if you need to...use the both in the cream of wheat...or malt o meal ....it has folic and iron deluxe and is use for anemia patients so he falls in that catagory.
