 He almost swallowed GLASS
This was a scary ordeal...
I broke a glass today and after sweeping the floor 5 times I thought I had cleaned it all up. A few hours later I see that JoJo had something in his mouth and when I tried to grab him to see what it was he ran away from me, so I was basically chasing after him. I know what he was trying to do...he was trying to SWALLOW whatever it was in his mouth before I took it from him.
When I finally grabbed him I heard a clanking on his teeth and I thought it was something metal. I pried his mouth open and noticed a 1" by 1" piece of glass near the back of his throat!! I used my index finger to swoop it out and THANK GOD I got it out, however, not without giving myself a pretty deep gash that is still bleeding. I inspected his mouth and everywhere on him and I'm still shocked that he didn't cut himself. My finger will heal, but I don't know what would have happened to him if he swallowed it! God was definitely watching out for him today.
I know most of us here already know this, but please, please, always keep an eye on your furbabies. Their mouths don't discriminate, and no matter how careful we can try to be, they can get into something dangerous. All it takes is seconds!! |
