Dog / Mix - Answered 1331 days ago
I woke up this morning to my dog having bloody diarrhea and vomiting yellowish sticky substance which I think is bile. He ate nothing colorful to affect the color of his stool, but we recently discovered that he's been gnawing on a wood furniture and has probably eaten some of it. His first stool still has a little shape but has the reddish color already. After that, it's all liquid and looks to be fresh bright red blood. He's been neutered on the 21st of the previous month and has gone through a complete recovery and is pretty mush his old self now until this morning of June 13. At the moment of posting this question, he still drinks a lot of water but he's obviously less energetic. I'm very worried but as of now, we don't have the money to visit a vet. (My dog is a mix. His mom is a Corgi and the dad we don't know what breed, but also a medium-sized dog)

Hi there You're suspecting that your dog might have eaten wood. When that happens, those sharp pieces can get lodged in the dog’s mouth or esophagus. This can be very painful, and causes tearing and infections. Very small pieces of wood can be swallowed and get wedged in their throats and obstruct their breathing. If larger pieces of wood are ingested, it can create even more serious issues. Digestive tract blockages, perforated intestines and bowel obstruction are just some of the risks associated with a dog eating wood. In that case , don’t try to induce vomiting. Although this can work for some foreign objects, items that are jagged or pointed can cause more damage coming back up if the dog vomits. Even a small sliver of wood can puncture their digestive tracts. To ensure the condition a series of physical examination and X-rays need to see the exact location and size of the obstruction to determine if the dog requires surgery or not. This can be very serious issue and surgery needs to remove all the wooden sharp objects from all of the GIT where they have lodged. So kindly visit govt vet clinic where you will not need much money to save your pet. Hope this will help you
