One of my parents dogs died last night due to an intestinal blockage from eating socks, he was an 11 year old standard poodle. Im completely faulting my parents for not picking up on this as they had a suspician that he may have eaten some and they knew that it had been 2 days since he pooped. By the point that they took him to the emergency vet they were told that it was too late. He
So I was talking to my wife and we both were shocked that the dog wasnt taken to the vet a day or two after he didnt poop at all, not to mention that my parents knew he loved eating socks. But, it got me to wondering if there are other warning signs that anyone knows of that would help differentiate an intestinal blockage from standard constipation?
