子犬が靴下を食べた：今すぐやるべきこと
靴下は犬に致命的な腸閉塞を引き起こす可能性があります。待たないでください—評価と可能な介入のために直ちに獣医師にご連絡ください。
今すぐやるべきこと
- 1
Call Your Vet Immediately
Contact your veterinarian right away. Note when the sock was eaten and your dog's size — this determines urgency.
- 2
Do NOT Induce Vomiting
Unlike toxins, foreign objects can cause more damage coming back up. Only induce vomiting if your vet explicitly instructs you to.
- 3
Vet May Retrieve Endoscopically
If the sock is still in the stomach (within 12-24 hours), your vet may remove it via endoscopy — a non-surgical procedure using a camera and grabber.

Monitor for Blockage Signs
Watch for vomiting after eating, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, lethargy, and inability to defecate. These require emergency surgery.
その背後の科学
布製異物は特に危険です。幽門括約筋（胃の出口）または小腸に詰まる可能性があるため。一度詰まると完全な閉塞を引き起こします—何も通過できず、腸壁が圧力から壊死（死）する可能性があります。これにより穿孔、腹膜炎、手術なしで死亡につながります。子犬と小型犬は腸管直径が狭いため、最もリスクが高いです（AVMA、2023）。
よくある質問
Will my dog pass a sock naturally?
Small socks may pass through the digestive tract within 24-48 hours, but this is not guaranteed. Larger socks or those that become lodged can cause life-threatening intestinal blockage. Never wait to see if it passes — consult your vet immediately.
How long after eating a sock will symptoms appear?
Symptoms of intestinal blockage typically appear within 2-24 hours. Watch for vomiting (especially after eating), loss of appetite, abdominal pain, lethargy, and inability to defecate. These are emergency signs.
What is the treatment for sock ingestion?
Treatment depends on location and size. Your vet may induce vomiting (if within 2 hours), perform endoscopy to retrieve the object, or conduct abdominal surgery if the sock has caused a blockage. X-rays and ultrasound help determine the best approach.
