Bully stick swallowed, diarrhea followed

[helsonwheels]

So, dont ask....was going to ask what on earth is bully sticks!!! Well duhh me lollll so I Google it.. hope its not from China or India.... not cooked!!!!

One of the most frequent questions we're asked is, "What are bully sticks made from?" Bully Sticks are 100%*Beef Sticks Dog Treats*and*dog chews*that are made from the pizzle or penis of the bull. Pizzles have historically been used for different purposes from walking canes to medicinal powders, and even eaten in their raw or cooked form by humans in parts of the world today.In the United States, pizzles are most commonly used as*dog chews. These bully sticks or*Beef Stick Dog Treats*and chews originate from primarily US or South American cattle. In recent years there have been new products introduced to the USA market from India (these are water buffalo pizzles) and from Australia and New Zealand. Most people prefer*bully sticks*that are from either the USA or South America because of the safety and cooking standards employed. It is our belief that*bully sticks*from India and China are of inferior quality and not cooked or prepared properly.

Coconut oil also might help lube things up and is healthier than petroleum jelly.

He gets olive oil in his food usually. One per meal. He did today. Maybe I'll add some coconut with breakfast too. Thanks!
He's gonna be fat at the end of this lol. Better that than anything serious though.

He is a handsome boy!

My guys love moose antlers and raw marrow bones. Never give smoked or cooked bones -- they splinter and/or break

maybe he's showing signs of being lethargic, which is also a sign of obstruction, a trip to the vet is a good idea, just to give you peace of mind, and to be safe. The vet will, feel his tummy to see if there are any signs of obstruction, he may suggest an X-ray, but it doesn't always show everything, and there may still be one. When Dozer swallowed a sweat sock, he was showing signs of an obstruction, and the vet could feel a fullness in his tummy, but it showed as a dark shadow on the X-ray, we didn't know it was a sock. He gave Dozer some pain medication, because the vet said dogs don't show they are in pain, even if they are, and she gave him IV fluids since he had diarrhea and vomiting, she also sent him home with a high fibre wet food which we fed him a Tbsp every one to two hours which helped him to move his bowels. He was able to pass the sweat sock that evening, thank goodness, or he would have had to have surgery. I hope Pablo is okay. You can also ask the vet about a scope down the throat to see if there is an obstruction, as this will show things that an X-ray doesn't pick up.
