eddie3 9 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Has anyone had problems feeding dogs with sweet corn, spoke to a lad today, his spaniel had a blockage caused by a single piece of corn , is this common or just bad luck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,036 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Why feed a dog on corn is what I mean. Then put up on here wondering why he had problems?? Fair enough if your dog picks up food and has a problem. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,261 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 As Gnipper said the cobs cause a blockage, can be very dangerous. The kibble can't be digested by man or dog unless the skin has been broken as its made of cellulose, if the skin is broken then both man and dog can digest it fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As regards the kibble i wondered why as regards the toilet out come "so to speak" so in the future i will slightly mash up the kibble for both me and the dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 It's brilliant if you've got a few dogs and one is a dirty b*****d ... feed them the corn one at a time and you know who is the dirty one ....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevi 17 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 it's not the corn so much it's the cob that can can not be digested Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eddie3 9 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I ask, I've given me dogs sweet corn mixed in with their food had no problems with that ,like you have said it passes straight through them , why I asked, a lad I spoke to the weekend his spaniel had a corn kernel lodge in the intestine .

mattyg 1,862 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 If it's coming out like it went in then the dog ain't taking anything from it..... Bearing In mind there are two limes and half a slipper missing in my house.....I've found most of the slipper..... Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
