【Intestinal obstruction】actually comes in two types.
1. Complete obstruction: Foreign objects cause a complete blockage of the intestines, preventing anything from passing through, which can lead to acute intestinal inflammation. If not addressed in a timely manner, it can be fatal.
2. Partial obstruction: The intestines are not completely blocked by foreign objects, allowing liquid and chylous food to pass through.It can cause chronic enteritis.
【Symptoms】will vary in severity.
Complete obstruction
1. No appetite
2. Constant drooling
3. Vomiting shortly after eating
4. Arched back
5. Elevated hindquarters
Partial obstruction
1. Still eating, but with a reduced appetite
2. Vomiting food multiple times a day
3. Decreased energy
4. Arched back
5. Elevated hindquarters
If your dog shows several of the above symptoms, don't guess, don't delay, don't think, go see a doctor as soon as possible. A blocked intestine can become serious if delayed!
Complete obstruction, of course, requires immediate surgery. Although the symptoms of partial obstruction are relatively mild, one should not take it lightly.
Because partial obstruction can first trigger chronic enteritis, when the obstruction reaches a narrower part, it will become completely blocked, and the situation will be worse. This is because the already weakened intestine will be harder to heal after surgery.
Owners need to remember to work and work, but also leave time for their dogs. Give them love and time, and pay more attention to their every move, so that you can have a longer happy time with your dog!
