My dog ate a dead deer with fangs and green stuff. Is he okay?

If Ryder was eating grass or plants, this green stuff could be that. This green stuff could also be tartar build up that is connected to infection. I would have Ryder seen by a vet today. If this is tartar, he will need a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing to remove it.

Hello. Other than the possibility of either dog vomiting up the bones in the middle of the night, they probably will be fine. Bones, while not recommended to be fed, will be digested. If this was a large carcass, like from a deer or cow, a dog can consume enough bone to either cause a blockage of severe constipation. But since this was a much smaller critter, I see no problems. Disease/parasite problems are nil, but may be a very small possibility. If your dogs are on a broad spectrum heartworm preventative, they are covered for parasites, otherwise a good wormer would not hurt. Watch for any signs of abdominal discomfort, prolonged diarrhea, inappetence or vomiting that lasts longer for a day or so, but if there are no issues, the bones will be gone in the next 12-18 hours. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Unfortunately vomiting right after eating or drinking is often a sign of a foreign body obstruction. It is possible that Gunter ate a piece of a bone/rib etc. that has become lodged in his gastrointestinal tract. As this can be a life threatening condition, it is recommended to have him examined by a veterinarian and to have abdominal x-rays taken ASAP. Unfortunately, if X-rays do show a foreign body obstruction, surgical removal is usually the only solution. If no foreign body obstruction is noted on x-rays, your vet may give Gunter an injection of an anti-nausea medication called cerenia, give him SQ fluids for hydration (and which will help if he has pancreatitis from eating the deer or table food), as well as start him on either a prescription intestinal diet or recommend boiled rice and chicken for the next 3 days. Good luck!

It should not be dangerous for Travis but it may upset his tummy badly. Go ahead and feed him a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice for the next 24 hours. If he develops severe diarrhea or vomiting, take him to the vet. Best of luck!

If he is acting normal and eating well, then I would not take him in yet. You should continue to monitor him for any vomiting or diarrhea, lethargy or decrease in appetite. These are signs of an infection which he may have been exposed to from the bone.

Depending on the size of the piece ingested, it may cause problems for Wrigley. A small piece may pass on it's own. A larger piece may cause a gastric or intestinal obstruction. If there are sharp edges, it is possible it could cause a perforation. To be safe, Wrigley should be physically examined by your veterinarian. Abdominal x-rays should be done to locate the position of the antler. If it is still in the stomach, consider endoscopy to remove it safely. If you choose to monitor him at home, a bulky diet can be fed to both cushion and push the piece through the GI tract. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or straining to defecate. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

If your dog is vaccinated against rabies, you do not have to worry about rabies. Dogs can eat stinky things without getting ill. Sometimes they get a tummy ache. If he starts vomiting or gets diarrhea, you can withdraw all food for 12 hours, then put Minho on bland food for a day or two, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
