Rocks
Also called: pebble · pebbles · gravel · small stones · garden stones · decorative stones · landscaping rock
Dog
Dangerous
Described signs
Repeated vomiting that does not let up, retching, regurgitation, refusing to eat, low energy, belly pain with a hunched posture, a tense belly, straining to poop with no result, little stool or stool with pebbles in it, blood in the stool and dehydration. In the mouth: chipped or broken teeth and bleeding gums, because stone is harder than enamel. Count how many, too: gravel goes down by the mouthful, and many small stones block just as well as one big one, the sooner the smaller the dog.
Cat
Dangerous
Described signs
Repeated vomiting that does not let up, refusing food, drooling, hiding, low energy, pain when you touch the belly, a hunched posture, straining to poop with no result and dehydration. With a cat a far smaller stone is enough than with a dog.
