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.

I asked the soft tissue surgeon at A&M today and he suggested the above if there are small pieces....bread and soft foods. For large pieces of glass, they can go in and remove them with a scope.
