Well, I'd have to recommend calling the ER to check with them. But honestly I agree with your husband. They can't induce vomiting for sharp things. Some vets will have owners feed something soft like bread to try and engulf the sharp object. This may not be helpful though, esp. because everything churns in the stomach anyway. Some vets may also suggest feeding small meals every four to six hours to get it to move through quickly.

One of my sogs has severe pica and found glass on the floor. Even he did not swallow it. It was a tiny piece and he spit it out.
