Hello Some help for our 4 month old Golden retreiver. She seems to have picked up some rubbish from the road. Is very unsettled - trying to poop but unable to and has vomited out some wood splinters with food. Seems better after that but refusing to sleep and continues to try to squat and poop but unable to. Any ideas to provide temp relief?

Hi Sir..your pet could have vomiting due to ingestion of toxic substances in the diet/ foreign substances from the garbage... some of the other causes could be that it could have intestinal parasites or bacterial infection...Blockages from eating non food items like garbage, bones, gravel or plants, lack of exercise, not enough fibre can cause constipation...

Dr. Soundarya T C

You can withhold food for few hours, make sure that your pet has access to water. Once the vomiting stops, you can introduce bland food. Gradually increase the amount of water intake.

You can give Digyton drops about 10 to 15 drops in the morning and in the night..

If it doesn't resolve..kindly schedule an appointment with vet for online consultation or for home visit.

Visit your regular vet asap. The wood splinter would do more damage than you'd expect
