I have posted several times about my grandmothers dog. He has had to have 2 surgeries now due to eating things he shouldn't have.
Choking is not the ONLY thing to watch for. Charlie had eaten pieces of paper, cloth, dental floss, the back of earrings, and so on. He could not pass any of them and had to have surgery to remove the mass lodged in his stomach. He started to act a little funny. She laying around and not being quite as active. He also wasn't eating anything. So the next morning she took him to the vet. The vet said that had she waited any longer he would have died.
So even if they swallow something small it doesn't always mean they can pass it. |
