My puppy, Mimi, a 9-week-old German shepherd, ate a rock. How long ago did she ingest the rock? How big is the rock? Are there any symptoms of illness? Was it a smooth rock or one with a lot of jagged edges?

My 14-year-old Australian Shepherd, Bindi, is not eating. She is not on any medications. I am using a turkey baster to feed her pumpkin, and she has runny stools, but very little since she's not eating. Bindi is spayed and very smart. How long has she been anorexic and diarrheic, and is she drinking excessively at this time as well?
