Hi to all, this is my first post and i had no idea such a forum existed until i had to do an emergency search.

This sounds very bad and will probably give the wrong first impression but i am going to throw it out there anyway. my yorkie is about one and a half years old and he swallowed a condom yesterday. yes that is right, he went through the trash and pulled it out and swallowed it. now, i didn't think that this was so because i didn't think he was that stupid and i didn't think he would be able to get it down his throat. and then i figured that if he did swallow it that he would never be able to pass it.

well i was wrong on both accounts. he passed it today when i was out walking him. he bent over to do number two and it was taking him a rather long time. when i walked over to check it out, i realized he had only gone a little for the amount of time that he was squeezing it out. so then he bent over again, and sure enough there it was on the sidewalk! but he continued to try to do number two to no avail.

the question here is, is he alright? should i be worried? my real worry is, he really isn't my yorkie, he is my aunt's and i don't really want to take him to a vet. i am just dogsitting for her while she tries to sell her house. i am not sure how i would explain this to her. if he is alright, i don't think i will try to. thanks for your input, don't bash me too badly please.
