Even the teeniest shards of glass will be caught and wrapped in the cotton fibers and the cotton will protect the intestines from damage by the glass. Your dogs stools will be really weird for a few days and you will have to be careful to check for fresh blood or a tarry appearance to the stool. If either of the latter symptoms appear you should rush your dog to the vet for a checkup but, in most cases, the dogs will be just fine. Conventional veterinarians cite dental disease as the most common cause of bad breath and infection. Such ailments are typically treated with cleaning, medication, tartar-control food and treat, and tooth extraction.
Dental care is important to prevent cavities, gum disease and other illnesses.
The buildup of tartar and other bacteria resulting from poor dental hygiene is a cesspool and potential source of infection, especially organ infection. Prevention of dental disease is done by routine teeth brushing and using snacks that act as dental floss are important. Even if you only wipe off the outside of the teeth once a day with a wet washcloth or gauze, the rubbing is good for the guns and cleans tartar off. Enzymatic dog toothpaste is great for keeping teeth and gums clean and breath fresh. A little prevention and creative dental care will go a long way towards a happy, healthy pet.
