What are the signs and symptoms of a bowel obstruction in a dog?
The pup will be lethargic and will not be able to keep any food or water down. You need to go to the vet. for a barium swallow X-ray.

In my case it was off to the emergency vet. in the wee hours, 3:00 AM, on a Saturday morning. The result was a $3000.00 surgery to remove a corn cob after her and my other pup got into the garbage. Needless to say they cannot get to the garbage any more. This was 5 years ago and she is doing fine.
Reply:Vomiting not able to poop or have a hard time pooping. Also diarrhea can be a sign.



If your dog is vomiting, not eating or drinking water you should bring her to the vet immediately.
Reply:Call your veterinarian if you have any concerns like this. Your vet will also know the size of your dog and whether eating the pit is toxic. Hope he's okay....
