What happens if your dog eats staples?
You should bring your dog to the vet immedietly. If nothing is done, I would assume that the staples sharp edges will damage the insides of your dog (stumach, intestines, ect.). A quick fix you could try is buying cotton balls (not the man made material ones), coating them with some kind of tasty juice (anything safe liquid your dog will enjoy) give the cotton balls a quick squeeze, and feed them to your dog. When the cotton balls travel through the stumach, the staples will become imbeded in the cotton, thus when your dog poops, out comes the staples, but always check your local vet, if your dogs stool has blood in it, there is an issue, hope this helps
How long do dogs live with leiomyosarcoma?
Long-term follow-up information was obtained for 39 dogs that had undergone surgical excision of nonlymphomatous, small intestinal tumors. For all dogs evaluated in this study, the median survival time was 10 months, and the one- and two-year survival rates were 40.5% and 33.1%, respectively. There was no difference in survival times between dogs with adenocarcinomas (n=23) and dogs with leiomyosarcomas (n=16). Survival times were significantly (p less than 0.0001) shorter for dogs with histological evidence of metastases at the time of surgery (median, 3.0 months) than for dogs with no histiological evidence of metastases (median, 15.0 months).
