Watch out, if he doesnt start eating soon, better get to the vet.
I watched a show on animal planet one night, and it really opened my eyes.
My dogs eat rocks as well, my puppy even bites off pieces of concrete and eats it from the pool patio.
Rocks do not digest!Not at all!!!! They will sit and if too big, will stay in the stomache causing infection and rubbing away against the stomache lining. If too big, they cannot even pass them. This will lead to death. The ones they showed as too big, to my surprise were only 1/2" to 1" river rock, same as I have in my landscaping that my pups eat!!
I have been lucky thus far, but rock eating is a very touchy situation that even I was never aware of until I watched that!
Keep a close eye....can never be too careful,especially since the infection can lead to death, and can become very painful beorehand.
