Symptoms of dog eating bones and indigestion

Symptoms of dogs eating bones and indigestion:

1. Constipation. Bones contain a lot of phosphorus and calcium, and the dog's digestive system does not have the decomposing enzymes that can decompose phosphorus and calcium. If the dog eats bones directly, the bones will accumulate in the stomach for a long time and cannot be digested, resulting in bone lime It will further affect the dog's digestive system and cause constipation. In severe cases, it may even scratch the inner wall of the intestinal tract and digestive tract, causing internal bleeding and ulcers, and then symptoms of blood in the stool.

2. Vomiting. Dogs will vomit if they do not digest bones after eating bones. The vomit is foamy mucus and gastric juice, which may be mixed with blood, bile and mucous membrane fragments depending on the nature of the lesion. Touching the dog's abdomen with hands will show pain, accompanied by symptoms such as yellowish white tongue coating and yellowish urine.

3. Others. A large amount of indigestible bones accumulated in the stomach and intestines will cause the dog to lose appetite, and the food he usually likes to eat will also lose his appetite at this time. Some dogs may even be accompanied by complications such as lack of energy and lethargy.

Precautions for dogs eating bones:

1. The bones should not be too small. In order to prevent the dog from swallowing the bones and scratching the intestines, it is recommended to give the dog some hard and large beef bones as much as possible.

2. Try not to use jointed bones. Because this kind of bone is generally connected with some very strong tendons, if these tendons get stuck in the gap between the teeth, the dog is likely to break the tooth when it wants to.

3. Do not feed raw flesh and blood. Although raw bone meat is rich in nutrition and relatively easy to digest, eating raw meat often can easily lead to parasites and germs in dogs, so when giving bones to dogs, it is recommended to cook them before feeding them.
