2. Internal injuries: If the squeaker is sharp, it can cause internal injuries to the dog's mouth, throat, or digestive tract.
3. Vomiting and diarrhea: Eating the squeaker may cause vomiting and diarrhea due to the dog's body trying to expel the foreign object.
4. Abdominal pain: The squeaker can cause abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating.
5. Perforation of the intestines: In severe cases, the sharp edges of the squeaker can perforate the dog's intestines, leading to peritonitis and sepsis.
6. Surgery: If the squeaker cannot be passed naturally and becomes lodged in the digestive tract, surgical removal may be necessary.
It's important to take immediate action if you suspect your dog has eaten a squeaker. Contact a veterinarian or animal poison control center right away for guidance and treatment recommendations. Do not induce vomiting or try to remove the squeaker yourself, as this could cause further harm.
