Whether they\u2019re hanging up to dry or kicked off after a long day, they can be pretty accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise, then, that a large proportion of people who are concerned about what their dogs have eaten are talking about socks. So, what happens if a dog eats your sock? And why do dogs eat socks in the first place?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"digest\">Impossible To Digest&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign body ingestion is the term your veterinarian will use when your dog eats your sock, or or a battery, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/why-do-dogs-eat-dirt\/\">something else indigestible<\/a>. This is the blanket term for a dog eating something that isn\u2019t food, but isn\u2019t technically toxic either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any unusual, indigestible item that makes it\u2019s way into your dogs digestive system has the risk of becoming stuck. A huge amount of vets\u2019 time is used up dealing with dogs that have done just this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at least this means that when you run in shouting \u2018my dog ate a sock!\u2019 they know just what to do. And sometimes, the situation resolves itself on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"1876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock.jpg\" alt=\"my dog ate a sock\" class=\"wp-image-20759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-696x1045.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-1068x1603.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/my-dog-ate-a-sock-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"poop\">My dog ate a sock \u2013 and it came out the other end!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Socks are, for the most part, indigestible. If they make it out the other side they\u2019ll do so largely unharmed, and unabsorbed. But this doesn\u2019t mean you should leave your dog\u2019s digestive system to it when it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sock indigestibility is what makes them dangerous. Digestive systems, our own or our dogs, dissolve everything into a malleable paste so it can pass freely through the intestines, and nutrients can be easily absorbed. The intestines are therefore not equipped to manage non-food items that holds its shape such as an item of clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sock may become lodged in this area. The health implications of this occurrence are disastrous, and we\u2019ll go into this a little later. First, for anyone asking \u2018my dog ate a sock what do i do?\u2019 let&#8217;s look at what course of action you should take if your dog swallows your sock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Labrador cocker Spaniel &amp; Cockerdors play ball\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MuHTc8Hegq4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"treat\">What to do if your dog swallowed a sock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign body ingestion has a few distinct stages involved here. If you find yourself in the \u2018my dog swallowed a sock\u2019 situation, and you know about it, this is the time for action. You have a narrow window of time to minimize the risk of surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your dog to the vet straight away. Your vet may decide to pump the stomach, or induce vomiting. This is the first line defense in preventing a foreign object from making it into the intestines, making it come back up the way it went in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs will sometimes do this themselves. Sock vomit is actually the best case scenario! Your dog\u2019s stomach recognized he sock shouldn\u2019t be there and got rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a lot of cases, though, we have to take matters into our own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My dog ate a sock \u2013 should I make him sick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can, if your dog ate a sock, induce vomiting at home \u2014 but there are risks. If the sock is particularly large, or the dog particularly small, it may become lodged in the throat on it\u2019s way out. This is of course a choking hazard, a much better situation to be in when you\u2019re in a vet\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unable to make it to a vet straight away, call them, they will be able to give you advice over the phone. If your vet advises inducing vomiting, they will likely give you instructions. In lieu of that, there are still resources we can draw from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use 3% hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Your dog between 45 and 55 pounds will need 30ml of hydrogen peroxide. The sock is removed because the solution fizzes in the stomach and causes vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are risks to this method, so take advice from your vet before using this as a treatment. Anyone looking up how to make a dog throw up a sock should keep in mind this is always better done by a vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My dog ate a sock earlier today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what if the sock was eaten hours ago? Call the vet right now! Your sock won&#8217;t take long to reach your dog&#8217;s intestines. Time matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This changes our strategy slightly, and brings a whole new level of risk into play. The sock sitting in your dog&#8217;s intestines won&#8217;t be moved by inducing vomiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sock can pose the most risk to your dog here, as the narrow coiled path it will have to take makes getting stuck much more likely. We can\u2019t assume that it will make it out, as an intestinal blockage can very quickly become life threatening. Foreign body ingestion studies show quite keenly that time is of the essence. There\u2019s a direct correlation between how quickly the dogs received treatment, and how favorable the outcome was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vets have a few different options when they know the sock is somewhere in a dogs intestine. They can use a barium slug to make the intestines show clearly on an X-ray. The sock becoming an obstruction ironically can make your dog vomit. Not that it will help at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has recently swallowed your sock and begins to vomit (without any sign of the sock reappearing) this is now a veterinary emergency. Sock removal surgery will need to be done immediately. This is because the obstructed bowel can go necrotic, effectively die, within a matter of minutes. If this occurs the resultant infections and ailments can kill a dog very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These complicating factors from a bowel obstruction are what makes this situation so serious. So no matter how harmless it seems, a swallowed sock is a good enough reason to go the vet. If this is a regular occurrence for you you\u2019ll rightly be asking why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"repeat\">Sock Eating Repeat Offenders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, dogs get a bit of a fixation about eating something that definitely isn\u2019t food. Sock eating is normally a one off occurrence. Dogs like eating new things, and this can lead them to gulp down all sorts of strange objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeated foreign body ingestion of the same type of item is an indication that something else is going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs have, after all, spent tens of thousands of years subsisting on our table scraps. For most of history we\u2019ve used dogs as a sort of mobile dustbin, feeding them on the stuff we leave on the plate. This behavior has helped dogs to evolve to tolerate foods their wolf ancestors couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately it\u2019s probably also developed dogs who are not picky at all, and who will eat pretty much anything (food or otherwise). But sometimes there is something more complex at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible reasons why dogs eat socks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several possible reasons why dogs eat socks. If a dog is consistently seeking out and devouring socks, he could be suffering from a disorder called PICA. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.humanesociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pica<\/a> is when dogs, for whatever reason, gain an appetite for an item that isn\u2019t food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t restrained to socks, but they\u2019re one of the more likely things a dog will come across in abundance in any given house. There are multiple theories as to why this happens. One is to do with attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs get lonely quite easily, and dedicating a small amount of time just to hanging out with them each day can make a world of difference. Another likely theory is that it\u2019s down to anxiety. A<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0168159108000403\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2008 study<\/a> looked at dogs with and without anxiety related disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PICA was exceptionally common in the anxious dogs, with about half displaying these behaviors. Interestingly there seemed to be a difference in brain chemistry between anxious and non anxious dogs, suggesting a possible deeper root cause of this state of being. Regardless of the root cause, PICA should always be taken seriously and measures must be taken against it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your dog just ate a sock, didn&#8217;t they?
