It is real hard for you to look at the dog and judge if she is absorbing zinc or copper or even nickle from any coins that were swallowed....and as the coins are moved further and deeper into the intestinal tract, she may APPEAR to be doing "fine"....until probably around 2am, Sunday morning, when the intestine can become completely blocked....you not only can have intestinal obstruction, you can also have bowel eschemia, which can easily progress into a dead bowel......your REALLY need to have this dog seen by a vet to determine how many money she is trying to work thru her system....I would be worried to death if this was my dog....of course, I know what all can go wrong, and how fast it happens. Hopefully, you are not about to find out!
