My 8 month old Yorkie ate some ceiling paint that was spilled in the shed on some small gravel. What do I do?

He got really weak and couldn't walk. My husband thought a rock might be stuck in his throat, so he stuck his finger down it to see - I guess he pushed it on down. He is acting a little better, except that he is acting like he wants to throw up again - or gasping for air, I'm not sure which. He is drinking milk. What can I do?My 8 month old Yorkie ate some ceiling paint that was spilled in the shed on some small gravel. What do I do?
You need to get your little one to the vet immediately! Even if it isn't the paint, they are not able to pass rocks and it can cause a blockage. Don't wait!





**Do NOT give him milk! - dogs are lactose intolerant and can't digest dairy.My 8 month old Yorkie ate some ceiling paint that was spilled in the shed on some small gravel. What do I do?
Do you know if this is new or old paint? Paint nowadays are made with no lead because people are smarter, if it's old paint or and old shed it could still have lead in it and your dog may have lead poisioning. What you must do is let your dog get as much water as possible to wash out anything that could be making him sick. (salt makes animals, as well as people, thirsty if he doesn't want to drink a lot) also you have to bring him to the vet or the vet emergency hospital to get him checked out right away.
GO TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!!
give him warm milk, and just ket him rest. dogs have a natural reaction to eat grass when they feel they need to throw up, so try letting him outside so he can eat some grass but watch him so he don't throw up in the house...
You should probably ask your vet!!! You better ask before something bad happens!! You don't even have to go to the vet's office, just call!!
how much did he eat maybe the obvious answer is just to take it to your vet
call poison control
Don't feed your dog milk, Its bad for them.


Also, call your vet asap.
For gosh sakes , take the poor animal to the vet , quickly . He could die from lead poisoning .
go to the vet and ask if something can happen....


make sure hes ok....before it gets too late...


take him their immediately for various reasons....


just in case he might get sick or something...


make sure hes fine...that the first thing you should do!
