Probably should give him a bunch of water and normal food to get it out of his system faster. If it gets worse take him to the vet

My pug / boston terrier mix occasionally chuffs and huffs like a horse with the heaves. What could be the cause of this? My old Yellow Lab used to do the same thing. Could it be heartworms? He’s 5 yr. old not neutered male in good health

Dawn Ferara, DVM If he is not on Heartworm preventative then your dog could have heartworms. Why is he not on preventative? It sounds like it could be a heart problem and he should go to the vet. A vet is the only one who can diagnose Heartworms or another heart problem.

Anonymous there’s no reason to be scared UNLESS your puppy is horribly, horribly ill. don’t panic! we’re here to help you. 🙂
first things first: get that puppy to a vet today or tomorrow (ideally today). get started on a vaccination schedule. take a fresh poop sample in a ziplock baggie – it should be very fresh, like the last poop before you go.
secondly, invest in a crate. crates are immensely useful tools that help with housebreaking…and trust me, if you have never had a dog before it’ll be a LIFESAVER.
I Have Been Agonizing Over This For 2 Days Now. Last Monday I Took My…
I have been agonizing over this for 2 days now. Last Monday I took my 14 year old cat to the vet because he had stopped eating and drinking. X-Ray showed what the vet thinks is abdominal cancer. After talking to my vet decided that surgery/chemo would not be an option for me and she prescribed steroids which may help and gave him fluids. He perked up a tad after fluids and would eat maybe a quarter to half a can of wet food a day. Since Friday though I have not been able to get him to eat anything (he did come out and lick the food yesterday but would not eat) and all he does is lay under the computer chair. He will not sleep in the bed with me which is something he has done his whole life. I plan to call the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts.

Michael Hamilton you might try some tuna packed in water to get your cat to eat, I know what your going thru three months ago i had to put my 19 year old down and 2 months later i had to put my other cat down. both of mine had kidney faluer it,s a hard choice. but try the tuna packed in water, and best of luck.

Dawn Ferara, DVM No, do not use or give human medicine to any animal unless instructed to by your vet.

debra yuhasz I wouldn’t chance it. Human meds are usually stronger than pet meds and can do more harm than good. It’s not wise to give any meds unless instructed by a vet. A lot of human meds are toxic to animals.

Dawn Ferara, DVM The best thing to do is take her to a vet, there is not anything you can do at home.

dale dacey Dawn Ferrara. I would not have asked the question if that was possible. I’m isolated and no where near a vet clinic.
What colour is the vomit?
Light brown.
i would be worried about the location of the rest of the stuffed animal. please go to the vet. the vomit color doesn’t matter, here – your dog obviously ingested something he shouldn’t, and there may be more remaining inside.
Thanks everyone. I got him into our regular vet first thing this morning. She didn’t see anything definitive on the X-ray, but was still a little concerned about fabric not showing up. We are taking to him the emergency vet for an ultrasound.
thank you SO MUCH for getting on this quickly. i hope he’s alright.
He ended up having emergency surgery for an obstruction in his small intestines. He has a ventricular arrhythmia so surgery was risky, but he made it. He was discharged on Friday. When he came home, he had a little diarrhea. He’s been eating chicken and rice, but hasn’t had another bowel movement since Friday afternoon. His discharge paperwork said it may take time to return to normal, but how long before it becomes concerning?
Thanks for the update and I’m so glad he came out of surgery ok! I can’t help with the vet question but I really am glad he’s on the mend. Did they say what the obstruction was?
