Dog Eats a Sock: Obstruction Signs and 3 Remedies

[@jimh.2466]

Thanks Dr Jones, Our 13 yr. old lab, Bubba ate a plastic bag ans some cardboard. We took him to an emergency vet hospital, they charged us 1000, to diagnose the problem, they recommend a 4500, surgery. We took him to an university emergency veterinary hospital, they charged us 800.00 wanted to perform a 6000, surgery. We were thinking about having to put bubba down, we made the decision to take him home. They wanted to leave the intravenous pic. in his arm since we were going to bring him back the next day to put him to sleep, we asked them to remove the iv tube. I saw your video, tried to give him Vaseline, it was almost impossible for him to take, tried the castor oil and two days later he pooped out the bag, i had to help him with the last couple of inches coming out of his behind, but he is back to eating, walking, playing with a ball, etc. What the hell is wrong with these veterinary hospitals, where the Drs and staff are supposed to care about saving animals??? Spent almost 2000$$$ on diagnosis, pain meds etc. Yet castor oil and a little time helped us save our old dog. You talk in another video about the veterinary Drs and the crap they do. Sad, worse than people Drs. That push meds that have worse side effects than the diseases due to the pharmicutical companies biased make $$$$, no concerns about people. 😭😭😭😱😱😱😵😵😵, Jim H.

[@di_kid00]

Thank you, Dr. Jones! Wish I had seen your video earlier. My dog had eaten a tiny tag off a toy and was trying to vomit it out. But he was bright, active, still ate well, and drank water without throwing it up. But I called my vet to ask for any tips, they immediately told me I needed to bring him in for an emergency appointment right away. When I told them I couldn't due to work, they essentially shamed me for not doing so.. When I brought him in, the emergency vet claimed he may have pancreatitis. And wanted to do X-rays, blood testing and give him medications. All costed above $1k. And.... They found nothing... Sigh. I'm emotionally exhausted. So I will watch more of your videos and learn how to observe my dog for signs like you showed, and if not urgent, I will utilize home remedies. Can't change the past. But with your generous shares on how to care for our pets, I will be more ready to recognize when my dog needs emergency visits or not. 😪

[@shirlburris-fg8eq]

Diana I'd find another vet. That was so cruel to take advantage of you like that.

[@robasiansensation3118]

I'm so sorry you went through that. I've had vets that were predatory like that. You may want to go vet shopping.

[@spirituellebuchermeditatio9264]

Keep in mind vets are businesses and it's about earning money. I barely go to a vet, we can't afford it anyway. And here in Spain, they never put the dog to sleep, even when really sick, because they try to get every cent out of you. You can get a credit at a vet banc, when there is something....but they don't let him go. It's awfull here now.

[@NO-cz8rw]

I had a vet do this to me and do extra surgeries I had not asked for at the same time. And he got a skin infection. I hate that broad, and she should be out of practice. Atrocious manipulator.

[@chaddrusso8850]

Any update on your pooch? Mine just ate some string earlier today and has been acting fine I scheduled an appointment for but figure I’m going to get the same treatment

[@patriciacraig1297]

Thank you Dr. Jones for putting this video out. It seems as if these vets are only about money. They know we love our fur babies and will do anything and everything for them. These simple steps you’ve told us will help tremendously. My Shiz-Tzu ate a wig cap, he wasn’t in any pain, not dehydrated and still drank and ate food. I will keep an eye on him and give him mineral or castor oil. I hope he passes it through or throws it up.

[@playfultones]

Dear Dr. Jones, I can't thank you enough for sharing your wealth of knowledge & experience. I called Hospice Vets this morning to have my dog euthanized. While I considered my options I saw a post about mineral oil to relieve possible blockage. I chose the Castor oil option, added 3 drops of digest zen from doTERRA and used a syringe to deliver the liquid in the 'pocket' of his mouth, demonstrated by a vet tech. He swallowed it easily and about 4 hours later had a 'beautiful' bowel movement. TY so much!!! He is resting quietly but I sense his appetite will return soon. 🎉

One of my dogs Angie is like a freaking goat. She eats anything! I would give her used soda or water bottles to play with and have to remove them from her when she starts getting tiny bits of the plastic. She has chewed and eaten my curtains, sheets, edges of my pillow cases. She will steal the used toilet paper tubes from the bathroom bin and eat them. Geez a couple days ago I gave her a small stuffed bunny to play with but I fell asleep before removing it and woke to find the two ears about 3 inches long, each gone! They were no where to be found so I'm sure she ate it. Last week she stole an end of a cotton roll and gave me the scare of my life for two days before I was satisfied she didnt eat any to clog her up. Some dogs can really turn you gray! As for the bunny ears, well she's eating, drinking pooping and rough housing with her cousin Ellie so I'm not worried. Thanks Doc for this vid!

[@thewholesomeme2857]

I checked my dog vomitted a plastic bag today morning but rest everything is fine like drinking water, is interested in food and playing too. However, still not passed stool.. Yesterday night it was very constipated and with some mucous. Watching your video really helped my mind which otherwise was racing and tensed. Hopefully my daughter is not having any plastic bag residue in her stomach

I've been severely stressed the past day or so and this video is belong me out a ton! Although I'll continue to worry a bit until I know we're out of the woods this is great info. Our small 15 ish pound Shitzu snuck off with a 1/4 of a corn cob and snacked on it without us knowing... Approaching 48 hours and she seems hydrated, no pain, eating, and so far a good amount came out in her stool. Gave her some mineral oil to try and help. Thank you for this video!

[@jimh.2466]

Thanks doc, our dog bubba the wonder dog at a plastic bag and cardboard. He was throwing up and had bad diarrhea, took him to an emergency vet, after 1000 dollar diagnosis, they wanted to rush to surgery, another 5 k. We were not staying longer in the area so we went to a university teaching hospital, they did more tests for 800.00 xand wanted to do surgery for over 6000.00. we were going to put him down with him being an older dog, but took him home. He was drinking water that I added chicken broth. The next day he started eating wet food with some ground turkey I added. He doesn't seem to be in pain. We are trying the castor oil, due to it being difficult to get him to take the Vaseline. This is criminal that vets charge so much to treat animals, we are retired and on a fixed income.

Speaking of eating socks, I have a lab mix that will eat any sock she gets her paws on! I try my hardest to keep socks where she can’t get to them but she will go through the laundry basket and steal one. She will eat dirty or clean ones. So far, no problems or signs that she has any obstruction and we find ‘used’ socks 🧦 in the yard. This has been extremely helpful as far as dehydration and signs of blockage. If anyone has any suggestions to stop her from eating them in the first place, that would be awesome! Thanks Doc for the helpful pet videos!

Mineral oil would be the easiest to administer. It has no smell or taste. There is food grade mineral oil. It usually goes through your system between one or 2 days. There will be lingering cases of the runs. You can also use mineral oil to freshen up your cutting boards while you are at it. I know this only because I have intestinal problems since birth and use it myself. One of the downsides is that the oil kills the good bacteria in your gut. Mineral oil costs about 4 bucks for a pint.

Cuz when this first happened (6 hours ago) my first instinct was to make him vomit (he ate a bunch of oily paper towels) but then I hesitated and if I induced vomiting, I didn’t want to change him choking on the paper towels bec I was making him throw up with the small amt hydrogen peroxide. So I decided against making him throw up- he JUST finished getting over a Giardia parasite he caught from the shelter we got him from and his GI has been messed up for months and I got him normal BMs for a whole week (first time nirmal since we’ve had him) and I didn’t want to upset his digestive tract anymore than it already was AND NOW IS AGAIN. this poor dog, he’s a puppy and eats rocks and anything it bolted down.

[@StoryTimeforSleep]

My dobie used to eat socks and they would come out like sock turd parcels. Most of the time they passed through but he had a major compaction that nothing shifted it and he was too old for surgery so was pts. He also pooped a filled dog Pooh baggie that had been dumped by someone out on a walk. Oh and he liked knicker crotches and would chew on them too. Bless him Bloat was common with this dog 🤦

[@leenapatil3510]

What happened ?

My 16 weeks old goldendoodle just ate a hair tie 😥

My dog has not been eating her food, but has been drinking a lot of water for the past 8 days. She also had an injured front paw. She was limping. So the vet initially treated the paw, cuz I didn’t have $894 to pay for X-ray and whatever else they recommend. I’m a broke artist with a day job, so they chopped the bill down to basically 3 medications and an exam. Where I come to find out they didn’t check out her belly . Just the paw. Anyway long story short I’m worried about my dog. The vet said she has nothing open until Friday at 3. Today is Tuesday. She had started the running out to the bathroom and straining to poop since like 5pm yesterday (Monday) Now 24hrs later her body is still bloated stomach, with black like runny stool. Blood in her urine and booty. Cuz I saw the blood on her bed. Then a puddle of urine with blood in it in the hallway. I just went to let her out, I’d keep the door open for her but damn mosquitoes from hell are out. Does the medication Loxicom cause bad issues with dogs? Cuz the side effects are basically like a clogged bowel. I’m worried I’m going to lose my best friend

Update?

[@flamingbridges1649]

I'm worried our pup may have ate a sock. My mam said she can't find it. Only reason I'm worried is because he's thrown up a few times. But hes still very playful and still eats and goes to the toilet

[@jeanmorell1947]

Same for cats too they don’t always need antibiotics sometimes they act like Doctors give unnecessary pharmacticals instead of natural remedies!

What about a mango pit? My dog just swallowed a medium-sized mango.

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Monitor for any abnormal reactions.

[@srj92jose]

@VeterinarySecrets he is trying to puke this out. Otherwise, he is fine running around having food and pooping. Should I wait for him to vomit/induce vomit. Or should I take him to the Vet.

I have a Maltipoo yorkie /Winchester and I don't know which dog food is best,he has watery eyes and is allergic to chicken. Wish his eyes didn't run so much😥😥😥

Fresh blueberries does the trick first thing in the morning on an empty stomach plus a raw food diet.

@@BlueLady-r5f thanks!!

[@BlueLady-r5f]

@@A10TOES I buy Darwin's. It's shipped for free (comes frozen) and is human grade raw meat in different varieties with added all organic vegetables. It's great!

My son’s dog did this 🤣ate a whole sock. It was a boxer. Took 2 weeks then she threw it up. Crazy 😜

[@aglaves4922]

My Lab has swallowed socks and stretch gloves multiple times. Usually within a week she will vomit them back up. The most frustrating thing is if I don't retrieve it immediately she will swallow it again. She stole my mom's sock two weekends ago, and threw it up when I was distracted and not close enough to get it back from her. Now it's been 10 days and although she doesn't seem to be affected other than occasional stomach gurgling, it's hard not to stress about my crazy little monster.

[@panda17284]

My 1 year old dog was acting normal then barged a yellow barf n it smelled like fecal matter and dry coughed n the X-rays said it was in her stomach n cause her stomach to be slightly puffy n it could be from inflammation or the object but they can’t tell what the object is. I’m scared for my puppy

[@atmtheverge8842]
