Detailed explanation-2: -What Causes Bowel Obstruction In Dogs? Most frequently, bowel obstructions are caused when a dog ingests foreign objects, such as toys, rocks, bones, and more. These objects are unable to pass through the intestines and become lodged. They can also cause perforation of the stomach and intestines.
Detailed explanation-3: -The obstruction can be partial or complete, may occur in any area of the gastrointestinal tract, and can be caused by many different reasons. Food items that can cause obstructions are bones, corn on the cob, potatoes and carrots. Toys, plastic, stuffing and string associated with toys can create an obstruction.
