Most dogs are greedy eaters, and they eat both meat and vegetables, especially bones. However, many dogs who have been hungry for a long time or are impatient swallow dates, which can easily get stuck in the digestive tract.

1. Stuck in the throat

Symptoms: Coughing, retching, drooling, and stiff neck movement.

Solution: The owner can carefully open the dog's mouth and slowly take it out with tweezers or other tools. If the dog is uncooperative or the stuck is deep, you need to go to the hospital and ask a professional doctor to deal with it.

2. Stuck in the esophagus

Symptoms: After entering the esophagus, most bones will get stuck near the spout. The main symptoms are frequent retching, irritability, discomfort, and vomiting immediately after eating.

Solution: Traditional esophageal incision surgery. Most hospitals now use endoscopes to remove them from the mouth, which require anesthesia.

3. Swallowing into the stomach

Symptoms: intermittent vomiting, vomiting reaction occurring some time after eating, loss of mental appetite, and diarrhea symptoms after a long time.

Solution: If the bone is large or the endoscopic operation is difficult, and the dog reacts violently, surgery will still be needed to remove the stomach. Of course, if you want to delay it slowly and let the dog’s gastric acid slowly dissolve and digest the bones, that’s okay too~~ It’s just that the dog will inevitably suffer.

IV. Entering the intestines

Symptoms: Under certain circumstances, some bones may enter the intestine during gastrointestinal motility. There is complete obstruction or incomplete digestion of bone residue mixed with stool, resulting in constipation. Then there was vomiting with dark color and fishy smell. No stool. Loss of mental appetite and other conditions.

Solution: For complete bone obstruction, it is generally necessary to go to the hospital for surgical incision and removal of the intestines. For constipation caused by incomplete digestion of bones, it needs to be adjusted slowly and artificially assisted, such as infusing warm saline to promote its slow discharge. Note that in this case, do not open the plug, as the intestines may be easily scratched by bone residue.

Each of the above situations requires imaging diagnosis and prompt treatment, otherwise it will easily lead to organ mucosal edema and infection, and in severe cases, it may lead to perforation, which is dangerous.
