My dog ate bird suet. Why isn't she eating or going to the bathroom?

At this point if leia is acting normal I would not be concerned. The bird will get digested in the stomach and small intestine and it is possible you will never see any of the material pass. I would only get concerned if Leia starts having diarrhea and vomiting. If this occurs a vet visit is best for an x-ray to look for a blockage. hope that helps

Hello. It was good that you put Lily's food up. A small fast of 8-12 hours will not hurt, then tomorrow feed her very small amounts of plain cooked chicken breast, plain cooked white rice (preferably not minute rice) , & small amounts of lo-fat cottage cheese. Try this for about 24 hours & if she seems to be perking up, start to add back her regular diet. If she still seems to be having issues, please see your veterinarian to have her evaluated. I hope she is feeling better soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It could be Suede has an upset stomach. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Since Leela ate mulch with bacon grease, gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis seem more suspicious to me for causing her vomiting, loss of appetite and less water consumption. At this point, I would start treating her as though she is sick because dogs don't typically vomit while grieving. You can try withholding food for 12-24 hours, then offer her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice for a few days, feeding 1 cup for every 10 pounds of body weight, divided into smaller meals. If her signs improve, you can begin mixing her normal food with the bland diet over another 5-7 days. However, if Leela vomits more, has diarrhea, lethargy or refuses to eat the bland diet, she will need to take a trip to the vet for further evaluation. I hope that she's feeling better soon!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like Xena was a bit naughty and got into too many treats! She is a larger dog, so she will likely be OK. I would monitor her closely for any gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Acute intake of fatty foods can cause acute pancreatitis in dogs, which can range from an easy fix to a multi-day hospitalization with potential for life-threatening complications. If Xena becomes inappetant, has episodes of vomiting or diarrhea, or simply isn't acting herself, I recommend having her evaluated by a veterinarian. It is unlikely that the high-calcium buffalo treats will cause any issues. I hope this is helpful!

A dry nose isn't necessarily a sign that you should be concerned, but the fact that Zuzia is lethargic and not eating is concerning. It's possible that the rat poop upset her stomach, or that she has another disease like pancreatitis or an intestinal obstruction. You could try offering a bland diet if she doesn't have any food sensitivities - mix plain, boiled, boneless chicken with plain white rice. If she still does not eat or if you notice any vomiting or diarrhea I'd recommend contacting your vet.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You should start offering him small amount of water about 1.5-2hrs after the had the tablets. Start with 2-3 tablespoon of water and if he drinks it and keeps it down, you can slowly increase the volume of water every 45-60 minutes. If he is not sick after water, you can introduce some bland food, for example cooked chicken or white fish and give that to him every 2-3 hrs. You can add a bit of rice or pasta into it. If everything goes well, you should be able to put him back on his regular food within 24-48hrs.
