I recently bought my two Shih Tzu pups a raw hide slipper. During an
eventful tug of war they had with the slipper, a lace got torn off.
It's approximately 1/4" wide and 2 " long. One of the pups sucked the
lace down before i could get to her. This has happened close to 14
hours ago. So far her behavior hasn't change, still drinks water and
had two bowel movements so far. Her eating has slowed...not sure if
I'm being paranoid about it or not.

I have feed the pup 3 tea spoons of mineral oil to help add the passing
of the raw hide.

Does any one else have any other solutions or advice or pass
experiences with small pups swallowing strips of raw hide. Your input
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Concern parent of Two.

Did you heads-up your vet?

Yes, she gave us the idea of mineral oil and hope for it to pass
through the bowels. If the dog eats then vomits after 2 days, then we
need to xray the pup. If the dog vomits the rawhide it could get stuck
in the air passage, the vet stated they could not operate that area of
the dog.
