Your dog has ingested a piece of rubber from a shoe, which could potentially cause digestive issues or a blockage.
- Monitor your dog for signs of discomfort or distress.
- Contact your veterinarian if symptoms arise or persist.
- Seek immediate veterinary advice if an emergency occurs.
Rubber is not digestible, and while some smaller pieces may pass through the digestive system without issue, larger pieces can cause blockages. It's important to monitor your dog for any signs of gastrointestinal trouble, such as vomiting, lack of appetite, or unusual behavior. Products like rr-aza are not designed to help digest non-food items. If there's any concern about your dog's health, contacting a vet right away is wise.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
