ShadowandNikittasMum Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Shadow is feeling abit under the weather today first this morning he had a huge runny poo on the carpet, I thought it was odd because he NEVER goes in the house and now he's vomitted about 8 times now. What I'm slightly worried about is his vomit has pieces of last nights ham bone with the amount of bone that's come out I'd say that's the whole thing back out? He hasn't had this problem before when I've given him bones, obviously this time the bone couldn't be digested but why? Is it normal for dogs to boff up bones? Nikitta had the same bone and she's perfectly fine. Is it something I should be worried about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiemonster Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 i would say it was just the bone not sitting in his stomach right. If hes acting normal and being himself then i wouldnt worry, just make sure hes drinking water as vomitting can dehydrate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Bings cant eat bones - no matter how many times he has them he ALWAYS throws them back up - its not nice to clean up - we dont give them him anymore but sumtimes he will manage to steal 1 of the other twos bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 maybe lay off giving bones for a while, he may not have chewed it enough & it's come back up. Plenty of water should see him right though, let us know how he goes, x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahNukka&Shadow Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 My Shadow can sometimes get a funny tummy from bone but hes never normally sick THAT much thats a bit worrying, would keep an eye on him makes sure he drinks plenty and so long as hes not sick anymore he should be fine but if hes still sick tommorow that might need a vet trip just to be sure. Hope he gets well soon. xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hams are normally smoked and fully cooked. May not be the case in the UK, but is in the US, unless it's a "fresh ham". If it is, however, then the bone would have been a cooked bone, and may have splintered. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto this, as soon as I read 'ham' I assumed that the bone had been cooked - cooked bones will splinter and can be very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
