Hi Friend,

This weekend I had many a person ask me about their pets..

Some were health related.

Others were about training.

And many were admiring my happy, and socialized dogs. :-)

In the area of at home health care, I was asked by a few potential clients:

" Where do I start"

I suggested to sign up for this complimentary newsletter, and then start with my NEWEST video on:

Chicken Bones...What do YOU do?
---------------------------------


Recently my family and I had a feast of chicken.

It tasted great, and obviously smelled much better to my dog Lewis.

when we were outside Lewis jumped up on the table and scarfed down the entire carcass.

NOT Good.

So what did I do in this situation?

I didn't panic.

I monitored him for any serious signs of blockage, and gave him a little extra something to move the bones through.

Here is what I advise if this happens to one of your pets..

SOLUTIONS

WATCH AND WAIT

This is something I often advise. A common question comes after the dog has jumped up on the counter and eaten a whole chicken. Most of the time the bones will safely pass. Feeding additional food will increase the bowel activity and help pass the objects.

LUBRICATION

This will speed up movement of any foreign object. The safest and most effective one is Vaseline. The Vaseline dose is 1 tablespoon per 10 lbs. Place it on the roof of your pet's mouth. My dog has eating a few foreign objects, and has since acquired a taste for Vaseline.

REMOVE IT

If you see something lodged in your pet's mouth or protruding from their anus, then you should able to remove it. If you see string (or fishing line), cut the line as close to the tongue or anus as you can and leave it. In most cases the fishing line will pass.
If there is a plastic bag or something similar starting to come out of your pet's anus , then glove up, get some K-Y jelly, and gently pull it out.

VOMITING.

If a foreign body ingestion is to become a problem, then progressive vomiting is usually the first sign. Your pet will be uncomfortable, and will likely have a distended belly. See your veterinarian ASAP for X-Rays and evaluation of your pet. This will likely require surgery to remove.



P.S. Lewis is doing great..no vomiting or diarrhea.

He is now looking for his next chicken....

If your pet ingests something he shouldn't, don't panic .
