I would not ask anyone online what to do...I would not even stop to log in to ask. That's just me. Some things just worry me and ingestion of glass would be high on my list of a reason to consult with a vet.
What I WILL say is this: that "treatment" is all over the internet and it proves one thing to me: People believe everything they read. Not one of those sites was one I would consider reputable...ie: not from a vet school or a site like Merck or PubMed
I have asked multiple vets including emergency vets about that cotton ball and milk "treatment' and each one of them has looked at me like I had rocks in my head.
I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest it is NOT a good thing to do....but, if any of you believe it might work, the ONLY thing I can suggest is to ask a vet yourself. |
Haha! I thought it sounded weird but I also thought it was interesting that there were a lot people believing in it. Personally, I would react like you would if I was is that situation.
One of my Boxer's had demodex (sp?) mange and there were so many people that told me to put motor oil on it!!!!
Of course I took him to the vet.
