Posts: 9 12/29/2008 4:58 PM	Tags : None was trying to clean up and mason was under my feet the whole time,so I figured I'd give him a distraction and gave him a regular size nylabone. (approx. 4 to 5"). 5 minutes later he was under my feet again and found that odd because they always occupy him until I take them away. Can't find it anywhere, so I assume he ate it or swallowed it whole or in a fairly large piece. called the vet and they told me to watch him for the next two days for vomiting or lack of bowel movements. The nylabones I give him are the bacon flavored ones with no plastic or stuff like that in them and the packet says they are highly digestible, but I'm worried about my baby boy. Anybody got any experience with this or things to look out for??????

Like your vet said watch him for vomiting, but I would think watching for lack of bowel movements would be really important also maybe watch to see if his belly gets really big like it would if he eat too much. GOOD LUCK! "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.

One now and one later, if it's in the stomach, to see if it's moving. We waited it out, and he did pass it doing his business (although we did have the first set of x-rays). We're thinkin' of you guys (fingers crossed). ~Tim (& Scoob) Live, Love & Laugh

I have confined him to his crate for now though just to keep him still and maybe put less stress on his digestive system. Don't know if any body else does this but I also crate him for 30 minutes after feeding to help reduce the chance of bloat. I do know that he has passed a disposable razor before without adverse affects( darn dogs, they'll get into anything!! hehe)

You and Mason are in my thoughts though and here is for a speedy exit...hehe...sorry could not resist. Chrissy and Havoc (first picture is Havoc at 8 weeks and second is at 19 weeks)

If you are talking about a regular Nylabone, keep an eye on him. For what it's worth, we never use anything less than the SOUPER Nylabone and Sophie and Winston can plow through one of the Healthy Edibles Soupers in about 20min. Shawn

Shawn wow, you can get 20 min out of one of those? I'm lucky if the girls let them last 10 min.!!! And those things are expensive. That is the one thing I miss about rawhide, it is cheap and would keep them busy for a long while. The risk is just too much though.

So far he hasn't vomited and he passed his poo this morning, kinda runny but so far the plumbing is working. gave him half his usual for breakfast, and if he is doing fine this evening i'm gonna give him his regular amount. I'm very picky about his treats, he's never had a rawhide or plastic chewbones or any of those smoked or flavored bone they sell in bulk. It is expensive tothem the good stuff, but i think it is cheaper in the long run if you have problems with the cheapies. also, I feed him VF complete large breed puppy formula, was feeding Wellness but it was getting a little hard on the wallet

If you are wanting a good chew toy I recomend the nylabone knuckles or the double action chews. Zeus really likes both of his. and he likes to chew on them for a good while at my feet while I study or just chill watching tv.. Take care
