My dog swallowed a balloon. Can deworming pills make him poop it out?

Most swallowed objects, if they are going to pass through the GI tract without problems, will be pooped out in 2-3 days. On rare occasions, a foreign body may remain in the stomach for weeks or even months but this is very unusual. In most cases, as long as your puppy is eating and drinking normally and acting fine, you shouldn't need to worry.

That's not good that Daisy ate a balloon! It's good that she is pooping like normal, and there is a good chance this balloon will pass without problem. It can take up to 72 hours for it to pass however, so continue to keep an eye on her. If she stops eating, starts vomiting, has diarrhea, stops passing feces, and/or becomes very lethargic, then I would take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

IF she is eating and playful with no vomiting, then I would not worry about an obstruction at this point. She may not have reinfected herself, she may have had a high worm burden and the first round of medicine just did not get all of them. She should be checked in a week to see if there are any left to see a dewormer will need to be repeated.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Balloons can either pass uneventfully, or can cause a blockage. Balloons are more likely to cause a blockage as they often fill with stuff in the stomach and then become a big ball, so we recommend getting to a vet ASAP to induce vomiting. If you can't get to a vet, monitor very very carefully and any signs of vomiting, not eating, painful abdomen, get to a vet right away as surgery might then be required. Best of luck with Enzo!

Poor girl. Penelope likely had a large worm load that is going to take some time to go away. Her large bloated belly is likely the remaining worms in her system. Continue to give her the dewormer as instructed and you can also add some fiber to her diet by giving her 1-2 tsp of canned Pumpkin (not the filing) in her food daily for 7-10 days or as needed. This will help harden her stools and also help regulate her bowels. The gas she has also is directly related to the worms, so once the worm load decreases this will improve as well. She also likely will appear gassier as the worms work their way out her system. As long as she is eating well and not vomiting still she will likely be fine. If she is fully vaccinated, I would recommend taking her on 20-30 minute brisk walks and gentle tummy rubs to help her naturally decrease the gas in her stomach. If this doesn't work, then call your vet to discuss possible anti-gas medication that he can prescribe for her. I hope she feels better soon!

That insect is nothing related with the feces. It could be normal having loose stools for 24-48hours after deworming tablet/pill. I would recommend to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

The balloon isn't sharp, so it wouldn't have cut her esophagus, but it likely caused some irritation. Just keep an eye on her, and if she has vomiting, diarrhea, blood in her feces, blood in her vomit, anorexia, or lethargy, then I would be worried and have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
