In the United States, a 7-year-old Labrador named Marley, while his owner wasn't paying attention, ate a large number of Christmas decorations made of gingerbread. In the end, the veterinarian had to perform surgery to remove 34 ribbons from his stomach.
Marley's owner, Rachael Bulmer, had originally baked gingerbread and tied them with ribbons, intending to put them in a bag as decorations for the Christmas tree. However, before she could hang them on the tree, a large portion of the gingerbread had already disappeared!
Dog intestinal blockages can vary in severity.
If the dog's intestines are not completely blocked, the owner may not be able to notice it immediately. The dog might just seem a bit uncomfortable, showing signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or a slight decrease in appetite.
But if the dog's intestines are completely blocked, the dog will usually vomit whatever it eats, and even drinking water can lead to severe vomiting.
As the digestive tract becomes inflamed, it can lead to electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, bacterial infections, and other issues.More severe cases may result in a perforation of the digestive tract at the site of obstruction, which could lead to pneumothorax, sepsis, and potentially fatal complications.
Christmas is a happy time, but you still need to pay attention to home safety. Don't let your pet get into danger, or else the dog will definitely scare you so much that you'll be left with no meat on your nose!
