Most pets that have eaten something they shouldn\u2019t have will exhibit certain clinical signs of trouble, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obvious abdominal pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Straining to defecate, or producing only small amounts of feces<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lethargy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in behavior, such as biting or growling when touched or picked up<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unwillingness to lie down<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiding (especially in cats)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Next Steps<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thorough exam, X-rays, or ultrasound are typically needed to diagnose a GI obstruction. Depending on the size and location of the item, we may induce vomiting, remove it surgically, or simply wait for it to pass naturally. Pets may also need to be treated for dehydration, vomiting, or secondary infection. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing Foreign Bodies in Pets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protecting your sweet pet from a potential disaster requires some serious pet-proofing and supervision. Our ideas should help you get started:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep all small, inedible objects off of the floor and off of low-lying shelves and tables.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not leave clothing, towels, and other textiles where your pet can get them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide sturdy toys for your pet that are too large to be swallowed whole. Throw the toy away if it becomes damaged.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always supervise your pet when chewing on or playing with chew toys or dental treats. Do not give your pet cooked or raw bones, or brittle rawhides.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful to keep string, ribbon, tinsel, and dental floss away from your pet (especially cats), as these items can cause considerable damage if swallowed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep trash containers closed and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dupontvet.com\/blog\/holiday-pet-safety\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">put away leftovers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> immediately after eating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise and play with your pet daily, to expend excess energy and relieve boredom. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure that your pet knows the \u201cdrop it\u201d or \u201cleave it\u201d command.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your partners in pet care at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dupontvet.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dupont Veterinary Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are here for you!
