根因分析
结团猫砂含有钠基膨润土，摄入后在胃肠道中膨胀形成混凝土状团块，导致危及生命的梗阻。
English
Clumping cat litter contains sodium bentonite, which expands and forms concrete-like masses in the gastrointestinal tract when ingested, leading to life-threatening obstructions.

Use dog-specific potty pads or artificial grass patches for indoor training. Example: 'Place a reusable grass pad (like Fresh Patch) on a waterproof tray in the designated potty area and reward the dog for using it.'
-
Use newspaper or paper-based bedding designed for small animals (e.g., Carefresh) as a temporary substrate, but supervise closely. Example: 'Line a shallow tray with several layers of newspaper and place it in a confined area for the dog to use.'
-
Crate train the dog and establish a consistent outdoor potty schedule. Example: 'Take the puppy out every 2 hours, after meals, and after naps; give a high-value treat immediately after they eliminate outside.'
