The harm of intestinal foreign bodies to dogs
The harm of intestinal foreign bodies to dogs:
1. Sharp foreign bodies may damage the gastric mucosa and cause vomiting of blood or gastric perforation.
2. Dogs with mild cases have incomplete intestinal obstruction, which slightly affects their appetite and mental state, but there is a higher probability that they can poop or vomit it out.
3. Complete intestinal obstruction will cause intestinal perforation and peritonitis. In severe cases, it will be life-threatening, and sepsis, organ failure and death will occur.
4. When a foreign body blocks the pylorus, it will cause the dog to have stubborn vomiting, complete refusal to eat, high thirst, and at the same time make the dog very painful and moaning constantly.
Treatment methods for intestinal foreign bodies:
1. When you find that your dog has swallowed foreign bodies or that your dog is in an abnormal state, send it to the doctor as soon as possible. In most cases, treatment will be the first priority. You can first take liquid paraffin or vegetable oil, and then subcutaneously inject pilocarpine nitrate (pilocarpine nitrate).
2. After taking liquid paraffin, use a thin gastric tube to carefully push the foreign body into the stomach.
3. Connect an inflator to the gastric tube and inflate rhythmically. When the esophagus is dilated, use the gastric tube to slowly push the obstruction into the stomach.
4. The best way to prevent intestinal foreign bodies is to prevent and treat them. It is recommended that owners keep dangerous items out of reach of dogs.
