What Can Happen When Dogs Eat Cat Litter?

 


Does your dog have the offensive habit of eating cat litter? Luck’s on your side if you managed to catch your dog just inches from making a ruckus in the litter box, but better luck next time if you were too late. Nothing is comparable to a grinning dog with evidence of cat poop left in his teeth.

When your dog consumes too much litter, it might get lodged in the stomach and may require surgery to remove the stuck litter. So if your dog suddenly presents with symptoms such as arching the back in pain or vomiting, bring him immediately to the nearest vet clinic.

If you have an indoor cat that does not go to the veterinarian yearly for fecal tests, parasites might be of concern. If you’re a pet owner that lets their cats go outside, those cats have a higher chance of accumulating intestinal parasites and might pass them unknowingly to your dog if they went to the litter box to have a feast. Contrary to popular belief, most cat owners would not really know when their pets have parasites.

If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Frisco, TX.
