Pomeranian ate rubber band and threw up

by Tasha

It's been a week since I adopted a six-month old Pomeranian puppy. She is doing good and is very energetic, but she also has this habit of chewing up things and eventually swallowing them. Early this afternoon, she threw up and as I was cleaning up her vomit, I saw stuff like a piece of rubber band, human hair, and 2cm. long scoth tape. After that, she won't eat her food so I had to hand-feed her. She's back to her normal energetic and lively self now but I'm scared that something else might still be left in her stomach. Is it okay if I induce her to vomit and how can I do that. Please help me. I'm really worried about her.

Inducing vomiting
by: Sheila

This can be very dangerous,some things that go IN should not come OUT the same way. Talk to your vet ,one of the ways to make your pup vomit is to give them a tablespoon of peroxide.IT bubbles up and should make him throw up. If the pup does NOT vomit,take him to the vet emergency right away,an xray is in order to determine anything else in the tummy or clogging the intestines etc,sorry I cant be of more help. Vet is alway the first choice ,I will pray for your pup ,luvnhugs,Sheila
