It does not matter if it sounds off to you & no one told the OP to feed her pup cotton. If you can find a/the post where someone did, I would like to see it, she simply stated what her VET had her do, not what she did for her dog after reading it on some website. I have said before & will continue to say it, the vet I worked for used the cotton for any small sharp object that was ingested & it HAD to be real cotton & was given according to the size of the animal. I do not have proof to show you as we did not record it. You can choose to believe it or not, it matters not to me. I will not give you the name of the vet I worked for, as he has better things to do with his time then answer your silly questions. Unfortunately the ER Dr that my Aunt took my cousin to did not video that either, but I can tell you that the cotton saved my cousin from having to be cut open needlessly as it did just what the Dr said it would do & wrapped itself around the screw , saving his intestines from severe damage.The best thing anyone can do if their pup swallows any sharp object is get to their vet/ER asap & follow the instructions of the Dr. wether it be to feed bread, peanut butter, cotton or canned dog food.
