In the middle of the night, I heard the sound. I jumped out of bed and ran toward Nedd. There he stood with the sad look in his eyes, his belly jerking as he vomited by the door. There was the normal stuff you see in vomit and there was a piece of a dental chew that he had enjoyed while we watched the American Idol last night. This piece of the dental chew was about the size of the palm of my hand.
I feel like a terrible pet parent right now. I didn’t even know he had swallowed it!!! I buy these particular dental chews at the vet hospital because they are of a good quality and are a food product. They really do help his teeth. I’ve purchased these for about 3 years and we’ve never had this problem previously!
I’m a little frightened right now. This is a treat he really enjoys and he has one about every other day.
He acts perfectly fine now. I gave him a late breakfast and he’s still doing fine. I didn’t call the veterinarian … at least not yet. If he vomits again, I’ll be calling very quickly. I try not to call over every little thing while at the same time not overlooking a health concern.
