Q: My Cocker Spaniel swallowed a small round lamb chop bone whole. Are there signs that this may be hurting her? Should I wait to see if she can pass it, or take her to a vet immediately?
A: Hopefully since this is a small bone it will pass. It is important to monitor your dog for signs of a gastric or intestinal obstruction. Some of these signs are vomiting, unwillingness to eat, lethargy, and a painful belly. You should see your vet immediately if your dog exhibits any of these signs.

charlie is a 30 lb cock a poo. He had a hard time with his bowel movement 2 days ago, just bits of fluid. The next day he had diarreha and then threw up within 30 minutes. The vet prescribed pro-pectalin gel and metronidazpme every 12 hours. He did eat rice and chicken last night but today no bowel movement, will not eat and he is sleeping a lot. It is very hot here and has been 100 degrees. He is also sneezing when he goes out in the grass, just started a week ago. He is 20 months old. What do you think
