Gunther threw up a 2 WEEK old pice of corn cob!

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

We are very lucky. Two weeks ago, we had corn on the cob. My husband thought gunther may just lick the cob, and just as he was giving it to him, I said, NO.....don't. Well too late, he chomped off a 2" piece off the end. Panic mode. Well we watched him, and he ate, played, pooped, peed, and eventually I forgot about it.

Last week, he had 2 vomit periods, one at 5pm on Tuesday, and one at 6am on Friday. I thought it was really strange and was going to ask you guys for advice, but I thought I'll wait to see if it continues. All the while, he is fine..eating, holding food down and pooping.

Saturday we fed him, he ate it, and about 2 mins later, threw up all his food 3 times. The last one had the corn cob piece in it! You can imagine my surprise. I'm SOOOO thankful he threw it up, and man were we lucky.....

He's a tough cookie....crises overted...

Corn not good for Bulldogs?

Forgive me for not knowing, but is corn on the cob not good for Bulldogs?

Its one of the summers biggest issues, fresh corn (cob) and dogs. As you heard, they can break a pretty decent chunk off, and swallow it, where it doesnt digest properly, can cause blockages etc :(

No corn cob

it does not digest and can create blockages.

One of my dogs, before we got her had to have a cob removed from her stomach. She had been chronically ill, losing weight, appetite loss, vomiting, the vet finally decided to do an exploratory surgery, removed the corn cob, problem solved.

Corncob bad!

I wouldn't worry about the actual pieces of corn, but as everyone said, the cob is the bad part. I didn't see how much he ate, but when it came up, it was in the SAME shape as it went down. Gunther rarely chews, so he swallowed it hole. It could of caused major problems and the fact that it was in his insides for 2 weeks amazes me! I forgot all about it and that was why he was vomiting I assume.

Poor guy, I'm just really glad it came back up, and we learned a valuable lesson!
