My dog ate her doggie diaper. Cotton in poop. Does she need a vet?

I'm sorry, its a little hard to understand your question. What I am understanding is that she ate something with cotton in it. She can poop. She is not vomiting and she is not having diarrhea. Is that correct? If I understand correctly, and if she is still eating, then I would just monitor her at home for the next few days. If she does start vomiting or she does not want to eat, or she seems painful or lethargic, please take her to your vet. In the meantime, feed her a bland diet (such as boiled chicken and white rice) and just keep a close eye on her. I hope thats helpful. If I misunderstood you, please repost and clarify what the problem is. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Dixie. Chances are this paper towel will dissolve in her stomach acid, and I would just keep an eye on her for now. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a loss of appetite, then you will need to take her into a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Hello. If she is eating, drinking & still passing stools, then she may not need surgery. You definitely want to increase her intake of fluids. Supply low sodium broths or stocks for her to drink in addition to her fresh water. Switch to a wet diet & add a moderate amount of additional liquid to this, but not too much. You do not want to dilute the nutritional density of her food too much. Take 2 slices of bread & slather each piece with a layer of Vaseline & try to get her to eat this a piece at a time. If you can get one slice in her now, you can do the second piece later on or this evening. Hopefully this will lubricate her gut & push the rest of the material out of her. But if she stops eating & vomits everything, becomes bloated or shows abdominal pain, you will need to make a decision about her care. Hopefully, she will continue to pass things over the next 24 hours. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend just watching her for now to see if it passes. I would monitor her stool to see if there is any evidence of the fabric in her stool. If she is showing any symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy or decreased appetite then I would get her seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible to have abdominal x-rays taken and an exam.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The symptoms of gastrointestinal blockage include vomiting, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, small stools or no stools at all. If Sassy ate the incontinence pad a few days ago and she has not developed signs of anorexia and vomiting, most likely she does not have a blockage. If the only worrying sign at the moment is abnormal stool appearance, you should try bland diet for 2-3 days. However, if Sassy looks unwell or starts to vomit, you should take her to your local vets right away.

That was not good Loki ate his bed! Since he is acting normally now, I'd just keep an eye on him for now. If he starts vomiting again, stops eating, becomes lethargic, or has diarrhea, then I would take him into the vet. Best of luck.

Since you can’t be sure how long ago this occurred I probably wouldn’t recommend making Hestia vomit because it may already be out of her stomach. All you can do now is watch for GI symptoms, like inappetance, vomiting, and diarrhea, as these could indicate a blockage. If you notice any of these symptoms it is best to take her in to her vet as soon as possible for xrays. If it was a small piece of cloth chances are good that she will pass it with no issues. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
