Yorkshire Terrier + Raw Pumpkin

Caution — requires monitoring.

The verdict

For a 6lb Yorkshire Terrier, the primary concern with raw pumpkin stems/vines is the risk of gastrointestinal blockage due to their small size and narrow digestive tract. Even small, fibrous pieces can pose a significant obstruction risk, potentially leading to serious complications.

Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)

  • Repeated vomiting
  • Abdominal pain or distention
  • Loss of appetite or lethargy

Recommended next steps

Monitor your Yorkshire Terrier closely for any of the listed symptoms over the next 12 hours. If any signs of discomfort or blockage appear, contact your veterinarian immediately for guidance. Do not attempt to induce vomiting if a blockage is suspected, as this could worsen the situation.
