Guest Liz_in_PA Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I threw it on the floor for the cats and Dashiell thought it was a treasure. He grabbed it, took off running and swallowed. Do I make him yack or not? Quote
Guest FrostyBottoms Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Hmmmm I keep coming back to see what you should do, but I guess no one knows what you should do. I guess I would call the vet....I would think they would have you just check the poop for it. I wouldn't think it could block anything, but I don't know. Quote
Guest Liz_in_PA Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I can't decide if it qualifies as "having sharp edges" and therefore, no throwing up. Quote
Batmom Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I'd expect it to pass out the other end with no trouble, but it never hurts to ask your vet.

greysmom Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 You might give him a nice piece of bread to cushion the edges from his digestive tract. I think having him bring it back up would not be a good thing for that reason. It's small enough to pass through - though I would watch him carefully for proper eliminating the next couple of days. If he seems "stopped up" get him to a vet ASAP!!!

Guest Liz_in_PA Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 thanks. That was the direction that I was headed. Quote
Wonder Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 OMG- this was one of the very first threads that I posted here on GT about 6 years ago I think I was told just to keep an eye on him Maybe give him some bread to help coat things Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

Guest FordRacingRon Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I know I am a day late but Leia did that once and I didn't know it until the following day when I saw a white piece of plastic in her #2 and realized what she had done. Without my glasses I thought some kind of worm and freaked out, until I saw what it was. Quote
Guest 3greysinPA Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 just checking in on Dashiell ... hugs to you and Dashiell Quote
Guest Liz_in_PA Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 As of lunchtime, he seems his usual lazy, treat hogging self. A good dog parent would have gone out to watch him poop, but at 6:45 this morning and 20 degrees, it didn't happen. Quote
