What Should I Do If My Dog Eats Bamboo Charcoal by Mistake?

Dog has a cluster of something on the left side of its stomach, vomiting and bloody stool; can it heal on its own or need scope removal?
X-rays cannot confirm a foreign body. If a mass is in the stomach, urgent endoscopy with prompt removal gives good recovery odds; a barium study first maps it. Non-passing objects need surgery, while normal eating and stool allow conservative care.
Seems a bit food-bound; ate grapes by mistake this afternoon, vomited in the evening — vomit had kibble, stool normal firm.
Vomiting after grapes is helpful to expel toxin; grapes are toxic. If little was eaten and it vomited soon with good energy, usually fine. If vomiting continues with poor spirit, see a vet to check kidney values and prevent failure.
What does a dog’s stool look like after deworming?
Dead parasites pass in stool, so color may turn black, green, or bloody. The drug's action and parasite activity can upset gut flora, causing soft stool or diarrhea; some vomiting is normal as parasites are expelled. If severe or prolonged, see a vet.
New dog had dry nose, harsh cough, cool ears, soft stool
A new dog with dry nose, harsh cough, and cool ears may not just have a cold; suspect distemper or kennel cough. Many pups come from messy breeding with disease, sometimes suppressed by stimulants so they look fine, then crash in days, the so-called weekend dog that often dies within 7 days. Screen for viruses first; if only a cold, use doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
How can I tell a sick dog from a healthy one?
Tell a sick dog by: poor spirit and low appetite; thin body and dull coat; red, hairless, itchy skin; and abnormal eye, nose, or ear discharge, odd stools, or a dirty anus.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
