My dog ate a latex glove will he be ok?

He will be fine, it will pass through him in a few days and all will be well again. sometimes dogs eat strange thingsMy dog ate a latex glove will he be ok?
Medical gloves are traditionally made of latex and powdered with cornstarch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to don Cornstarch replaced Lycopodium powder and/or talc but since cornstarch can also impede healing if it gets into tissues (as during surgery), non-powdered gloves are being used more often during surgery and other sensitive procedures. Special manufacturing processes are used to compensate for the lack of powder. Because of the powder on the Latex you should get you're dog to a Vet just in case there is something that will poison him.My dog ate a latex glove will he be ok?
It can cause severe intestinal problems if it doesn't pass. Latex is extremely difficult to break down, even in stomach acid. If it doesn't break down and prevents her from defecating, or worse if it gets wrapped around something inside of her stomach, it can kill her.





Go to the vet and have them do an ultrasound or x-ray on her to check and make sure everything is going well. They may give her a dose to make her throw up, too.
Eh... I don't know... mine have eaten plastic and paper before and been alright. But I would watch your dog very closely over the next few days. If he shows any sign of abnormal behavior or does or acts differently, take him to a vet. Use your better judgment. If you think he needs to go see a vet anyway, take him. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.
No. It is highly likely it will obstruct his digestive tract. Get him to a vet ASAP. Either an all weekend/night vet or ER. A glove is too much latex. You can call a vet, and I am pretty sure they are going to tell you to get him in.
Most likely he will be fine and it'll pass through. but if your dog starts feeling really ill and you don't see the glove in his uhhhh poo at all. then i would suggest getting him checked out right away.
if your dog is throwing up or acting funny take him to a vet quickly. if you are not sure try calling a vet and seeing if you should bring him in
Yes, he'll probably just sh!t it out. But, don't take my word for it. I'd call the vet just to make sure.
Nothing to worry about.





It will just come out if it's real end soon ;p


Sometimes my dog eats glad wrap :S
Please bring your dog to your vet. This is serious.
I wouldn't be too sure. But phone the local vets or book a time to visit them.


then you'll know for sure
nope.
