Vets don't know if the pup was fed the bones deliberately, or gobbled them up while rooting through garbage.
A small, three-month-old puppy has died after vets removed nearly 50 short ribs from his stomach and intestines. Sharing the cautionary tale on social media, a California animal shelter urged pet owners to keep their animals away from human food.
“After having a really good day after surgery, he began to go downhill over the weekend. Our veterinary team provided him with additional treatment, but unfortunately his little body could not quite catch up,” the SSPCA wrote in a Facebook post. As any owner will know, puppies often try and eat things they shouldn’t — from human food to plastic toys. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends keeping all garbage out of a pet’s reach. As well as hazards like bones, litter is a great place for potentially harmful bacteria and mold to grow.
If a dog vomits more than once in a day, or continues to vomit for numerous days, it’s best to take it to see a vet, the website advises. These symptoms may also indicate problems like cancer, inflammation or infection.
