What happens if a dog eats lamb / mutton?
Lamb is nutritious — rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals — and moderate amounts benefit a dog. But its higher fatty acids and cholesterol can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or bloating if overfed. Raw lamb with bones, hair, or indigestibles can cause indigestion and blockage; it may also carry parasites, so cook it first.
Is it good for a dog with a fracture to eat bones?
A fracturing dog can supplement calcium, but bones are not recommended — hard to digest, so they barely help and may block the gut, causing pain and constipation. For calcium, use bone broth, dried shrimp, soy products, or pet calcium tablets. Proper calcium aids bone recovery, but the fracture itself needs casting or surgery at a vet.

What happens if a dog eats a turtle?

How do I relieve my dog’s vomiting?
Many causes (acute gastroenteritis, blockage, spasm, virus)—get a vet check for targeted meds. If can't, fast 6–8h with small warm water to avoid dehydration. If no more vomiting, give pet anti-inflammatory + antiemetic, then after 1–2h probiotics. Then small frequent bland liquid food; observe 1–2 days; if continues, see a vet.
What happens if a dog eats another dog?
Dogs normally do not eat their own kind; if they eat another dog's meat, diseases can spread via saliva or blood, and too much meat/bone can cause indigestion or even intestinal blockage/perforation. Stewed dog meat with heavy oil, salt and spices can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
My dog was excited before eating, then lethargic after, lies still, eats only a little meat, passed soft stool with faint blood, then whines, sits restlessly, and keeps pawing at its face
Based on the signs, the dog likely has an esophageal or gastrointestinal blockage from eating too fast or hard food like bones, causing throat pain and restlessness (hence pawing the face). If choking, use the Heimlich maneuver; it may also be allergy or acute gastritis, or parasites/parvovirus. See a vet for a full check.
