What is YOUR
diagnosis?
This large breed 1 year
old male dog came to our office with a history of vomiting in the
past 24 hours. As in many cases like this, we took a radiograph
(x-ray) to look for something he might have eaten that he should
not have. Here is our radiograph from Monday.
This is the
same dog on the same day with him laying on his back.
Here is the same dog on
Tuesday, no more vomiting. The opacity that looked like a quarter
is gone. The owner watched his stool and nothing metallic had come
through. Mystery?
Mystery solved. Pepto
Bismol tablets don't dissolve when dogs swallow them whole. You can
give your dog Pepto Bismol, but please give the liquid. AND PLEASE
ALWAYS CALL US BEFORE you give your dog medications, even those you
take yourself. Many drugs we take routinely like aspirin, tylenol
and ibuprofen can be toxic to dogs and cats.
