Cotton is not digestible by dogs and can cause a number of health problems, including:
- Gastrointestinal obstruction: Cotton can get stuck in your dog’s digestive tract, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
- Perforation: Cotton can perforate your dog’s intestines, leading to a life-threatening infection.
- Toxicity: Cotton can contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to your dog.
If your dog has eaten cotton, it is important to call your veterinarian immediately. Treatment will depend on the amount of cotton your dog has eaten and the severity of the symptoms.
In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting to remove the cotton from your dog’s stomach. In other cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cotton from your dog’s intestines.**
It is important to keep any cotton products, including clothing, towels, and bedding, out of reach of your dog. If you suspect that your dog has eaten cotton, do not wait to call your veterinarian.**
