| If you don't find them immediately I would get him to an emergency vet.

If your pet has swallowed hearing aid batteries, there are several symptoms to look for: Red and raw tongue, or whitish-gray from dead skin, Heavy drooling or vomiting, Unusually quiet behavior or crying, and Refusal to eat or extremely slow chewing. These symptoms can be delayed up to twelve hours. When a dog or cat punctures a battery, the corrosive liquid inside can damage its throat and esophagus. Charlotte Means, a veterinary toxicologist with the ASPCA, says small amounts of milk can help dilute the liquid if the ingestion was recent. Too much, on the other hand, can cause diarrhea. The safest course of action, of course, is to take your pet to the vet. If there are pieces of the hearing aid or battery present in the stomach, surgery may be necessary. Alkaline batteries can cause burns on the tongue, throat and stomach lining. Immediate action is necessary once you’ve discovered your pet has swallowed a battery.
