msn Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Our 6month old Lhasa Apso swallowed a pebble. We found it in his poop after he ate dinner (plain roast chicken). The pebble was round and smooth. His poop was very gooey/mucusy. But he pooped all right twice before that and now he's behaving active and normal around the house. Is he ok? Do wee need to take him to the vet immediately? Thanks Edited October 8, 2009 by msn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffikki Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 My 2 quite often play with pebbles & nuts off the palm trees and I have found those and all sorts of other things in their pooh :p So long as your pup in going to the toilet normally, eating normally and acting normally I wouldn't worry too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Puppies = poo searches Small, round and smooth usually cause not much problem.provided all appears normal, don't panic he probably eats lots of stuff you don't notice! :p Make sure he has little filled kongs/treatballs, and interesting bones to amuse him ...maybe make him a sandpit, and bury treats/toys in...take his attention away from pebbles !

msn Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks all! His poo seemed fine this morning and he's behaving normal too. So I'm guessing there's no need to worry. I'll watch him closely though just to be sure :p Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The mucus is just an indication that the gut has been irritated. If the puppy is bright, active, eating, drinking, urinating and pooping then a close eye on them is all that is required. I would be more concerned if you saw a pebble go in, and it didn't come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOUKLI Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 My pup is obessed with rocks at the moment. She has recently been let out into the backyard for some toilet training/exploration time and just seems to lick the floor and nibble on rocks. I hope theres nothing to worry about either, she seems fine so I guess not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Bark chips is the bits I worry about and I am guessing dogs will be dogs, I hope its all normal for puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollydog Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My mother's Rotti used to love eating expensive smooth white pebbles. So much so that sometimes they could be heard rattling around in his little tummy! He was discouraged in this behaviour, but he was a dedicated pebble eater for a few months. Didn't seem to do him any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
