Two things that
don’t go together are dogs and rocks and yet dogs tend to love exploring and
hunting for rocks, picking them up with their mouth and hiding them places, and
sometimes even trying to chew and swallow them. Rocks, small or large, can be
dangerous for dogs. If your dog has a habit of putting rocks in his mouth try
to remove the rocks from your yard or fence off the area so your dog can’t get
to them. If your dog has swallowed a rock, call your vet immediately. Eating
rocks has a clinical name of Pica. It’s common and can be brought on by
curiosity or frustration, anxiety and stress. If your dog is lethargic and
refusing to eat and he has a history of eating or chewing rocks then he could’ve
swallowed one. Your animal hospital Murrieta,
CA team will need to run x-rays to determine the location and how to
remove the rock.
