Today the dog poo’d out a sock…. Later brought up a sock… Later brought another by midday another . Thats 2 pairs how does he find them. This is the 1st time for 4 socks it’s getting a bit alarming now as we rarely find out he has them.

How did it turn out for your dog? I. So worried because my 2 year old 70lb lab just did the same thing. I thought he was over this stage! He has done it frequently as a pup and always pooped them out! I’m hoping this time will be the same.

The short answer:
If you ‘KNOW’ your dog ate a sock, never wait for it to pass. Always call your veterinarian and let him or her tell you what to do.

If you ‘THINK’ your dog ate a sock, but you are not sure –
The emergency animal hospital vet said to either get an X-ray or watch for symptoms.
(1) Take him to either your vet or animal emergency hospital if…
(a) he vomits or dry heaves but the sock doesn’t come out, or if
(b) he stops eating, or if
(c) he stops drinking, or if
(e) he has diarrhea, or if
(f) blood is in his stool, or if
(g) he eats but does not make a bowel movement within a normal amount of time.

(2) Emergency, deadly situation:
(a) If he vomits AND he gets lethargic, you have waited too long.
(b) If he stops eating or drinking AND he gets lethargic, you have waited too long.
Surgery might still be able to save his life. Rush immediately to the animal hospital emergency room. Find one that is open all hours and all days, with a surgeon either always on the premises or always on call, who will come in immediately.

We just experienced a tragedy -my grandpuppy, a goldendoodle (2 yrs old) like your dog eats socks. He has eaten them and thrown them up, not sure if he ever actually passed any. I found out too late that he had in fact eaten socks again, he threw up 2 socks in the middle of the night Thursday. Friday evening at about 7 pm my husband and I picked him up (and his sister) to come to visit at our house until sometime Sunday. We were not informed about the socks and were only informed that he isn’t behaving quite like himself-he was not playing and jumping around in the yard with his sister. We took him home and hung out on the sofa, he went out and I saw him doing#2-at least I assumed he went as he was humped up- it was dark and my dogs were also out -I didn’t go examine- I didn’t think I had need to worry because I thought he had at least “gone to the bathroom”. We planned to run him up to the vet first thing in the morning just to have him checked out as he was lethargic, he is normally a very active friendly and social fellow. He did refuse a biscuit when all of them came back inside. Later during the night, he threw up a foul liquid twice -about 1:30 and maybe 2:45 ish. He was able to walk around and so we tried to get some rest for the remaining couple of hours of the night until the vet opened and we could take him up. At about 6:45 I woke up to erratic breathing, he was lying on the floor, he would not lift his head and he had blood from his rear. I took him to our local vet right away, but he had passed during the car ride there, a 20 minute drive. We do not know why he ate the socks and other things at times I think, he did seem to be anxious at times. I only wish that someone had told us about throwing up the socks and that I had gone to get him a couple of hours earlier – when the vet was still open on Friday. He could have been taken Friday morning and the outcome would have likely been much different.

so what do u do when they eat the sock? let it pass?
