dmy dog eats chicken bones and he vomits what should i do?

My puppy has regular normal poop but is smelly which might be normal but has blood in it to
Seemingly around the same time she started flicking her ear as if she had something in it bothering her I am wondering if these symptoms are linked in anyway and if a vet visit can wait a couple of days or is even necessary.
I found pimple like bumps on my dogs ear. I touched it and the next day I had 3 of the same pimple like bumps appear under my chin. Hes te patter is warmer than usual. What are some possibilities of what it could be and is it dangerous?
My dog never eats his own poop. So I never pick it up. Yesterday, he ate some poop in the yard. It was a stacked mound of poop, rather than logs that not on top of each other. It was by the side of the fence where my neighbors live, and they have a malamute that is allowed to roam, so I figured that it somehow broke into my fence and pooped there. I actually had seen my dog sniff it but didn’t think he was actually going to eat it because he occasionally poops along the fence and honestly thought it was his own poop.
Then today, just about 30 minutes ago, he ate another poop, in the same stacked mound fashion, except it was by the side of the fence facing the road instead. I don’t get it… How are these poops getting into my yard? How should I exercise my dog now that he ate poop? How do I know when my dog is going to eat a poop and when he isn’t? Please help! 🙁

Annie Yang-Shaffer I have no idea why he’s starting to eat the poop though. He never has done it before yesterday… That’s why I’m sure those are not his own poop. :

Anonymous i’d get a game camera and hang it somewhere unobstructed – that’s the only way you’ll know who’s producing the stool.
until you can figure it out, you’ll have to be far more strict with poop cleaning in the yard prior to letting your dog out. you can’t stop him – he’ll do it for as long as this strange stool is available.
she is not eating her dog food but is drinking and eating our sandwich ham. she is moving around when called but seems to just want to rest in her bed after checking her over we have noticed her tummy is bloated and some of her nipples are enlarged.
we called the nearest vet, which is an hour away, and she has told us to bring him over in the morning or to call her back if he does not settle. I am extremely worried.
My sister’s dog has a infected ear for couple of years, have been seeing many vet, recently sent a specimen to laboratory to see what kind of bug does he has, result showed 3 bugs in his ear and lots of antibiotics resisent
Hello my friend has a one year old in spayed staff she’s has had two seasons so far. After her second we began noticing after she would urinate she would drip roughly 4-8 drips of blood. Then the same thing began happening when she pooed I was wondering if what this could be and if we must take her to a vets

Anonymous YES, SHE NEEDS A VET. urinating blood is VERY abnormal! he should also schedule her spay while there…

Charlea Downey They don’t want her spayed they want her bred as they wish to keep some of the pups when she is of age (of course that would be after thorough veterinary examination and an all clear to go ahead with breeding) she plans to take her to the vets as soon as possible thank you very much for your feedback. Much appreciated

Anonymous unless she came from parents who:
1 – are BOTH titled in something (AKC Ch, Obedience, Agility, Rally, etc.),
2 – are BOTH fully health tested to the specifics of the breed (almost none of which can be done in a normal vet’s office),she should not be bred…and unless SHE is titled in at least one of the aforementioned venues, plus full health testing (which includes going to a cardiologist, an ophthalmologist, and OFA-certified vets for eyes, hips, elbows, thyroid), then she should not be bred. there are far too many bully mixes in shelters and rescue.
that they haven’t taken her to the vet yet makes me very, very worried that they aren’t going to do the rest. please, try to talk them into reconsidering, or at least finding a mentor in the breed who DOES show and work titled dogs.

Anonymous and if they aren’t doing all of the above, their priorities are unethical at best.

Charlea Downey I don’t own animals my self as I can’t where I live but this dogs owner is the most kind and loving person towards animals. This is however her first female dog as she had a german shepherd who lived to a ripe old age of 13 before passing away due to cancer so she knows what to do with animals and is not being “unethical at best”
-
Anonymous unless she’s doing EVERYTHING i listed prior to breeding, her goals are suspect…which would make her an unethical breeder.
loving one’s dogs does not make one an ethical breeder. there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it, and the right way is expensive and requires an entire lifestyle change to focus on trialing and titling those dogs. it’s HARD to do it right.

Charlea Downey A title doesn’t make a dog. I’d take a untitled mongrel over a titled purebred any day

Anonymous so what happens when the dog ends up with a horrible temperament because the breeder didn’t title their dog(s) to prove they fit the standard of the breed? ethical breeders make a point to ensure they breed dogs that fit the standard…because predictability is exceedingly important, ESPECIALLY for working breeds. i have never known a person to put down a well bred purebred dog for temperament issues, but i’ve known LOTS of mutts and poorly bred dogs with significant unfixable temperament problems over the years.
what happens when someone dumps one of her puppies? an ethical breeder requires a puppy go back to them with a legally binding contract.
what happens when one of those puppies has a birth defect or something that could have been prevented through health testing? an ethical breeder tests annually to avoid preventable problems and will assist puppy buyers with birth defects and/or agree to take the puppy back and refund the buyer.
what happens when the puppy buyer has questions and concerns? an ethical breeder is there for the life of the dog.
i have NEVER met a mutt breeder who did these things. i have NEVER met a mutt breeder who actually cared where their puppies go, or care what happens once they’re sold. i’ve never met a mutt breeder who cared about keeping their puppies out of shelters.
have you been to a shelter? have you seen all the mutts there? if you want a mutt, GO TO A SHELTER. don’t continue to fund people who have no business breeding. please.

Charlea Downey Pure breeds are more commonly in bred and most likely to have health problems. Cross breeds were bred for the genetic benefits that come with it ie no/less health problems.
Yes I have been to shelters.
Yes I have worked in kennels.
I have experience with many different types of animals.
But temperament isn’t just bred in to a dog. It is about your environment and their surroundings. Even the nicest and most easy going of dogs from the highest quality breeder can turn bad if brought up in the wrong environment. And a cross breed who’s raised in the right environment will havr a wonderful temperament perfect behaviour and be a perfect dog. It’s not just the dog it’s the owner aswell.
I personally would get a shelter dog not as my first dog but I would get one. Or a rescue dog or any animal many many animals…… However I would want to spend time with the animal first to see if we bond and to check them out see if they are friendly with me etc -
Anonymous i’m referring to ethical, reputable breeders who do thorough pedigree research. it’s easy as hell to avoid inbreeding.
though the shelter system never sees these dogs – they never enter the system due to the contracts in place to protect those dogs. those breeders always take those dogs back, regardless of age or reason for return.
support ethical breeding and support shelters. do not support people who intentionally mix breeds or don’t bother doing the most basic things (titling their breeding stock to prove they should be bred, full health testing, full pedigree research). it’s pretty simple, really.
My budgie is very silent and just eats and sleeps, he doesn’t make any noice or chrip. He also got a partner but he is not interested in her I guess..
if you can get to the vet, do. i worry about obstruction and shattered bones causing serious problems for your dog. please don’t feed your dog chicken bones.
