Default My poor baby!!!

I must start out by saying that I am sure you are sick of hearing about mishaps and scares from me ...all in the past two weeks!!! Believe me, I realize that I must sound like the worst furbaby mom in the world or either a complete lunatic that all of this has happened. But I actually am an extremely conscientious owner, and my nerves are just about completely and totally frazzled after the past two weeks..and I think tonight officially does it!!

Today after lunch with my dad, my sister's family and I went to my dad's house. After lunch, I went by my house and picked up my dogs to spend the rest of the day with me. Well...long story short, at my dad's, my niece was fishing... and I'm leaving lots out .. but she was getting ready to fish and accidentally dropped the hook she was baiting with a huge piece of raw bacon..... I immediately grabbed my dog as he was chomped at bacon... I immediately pried open his mouth to grab the hook ..but I couldn't get it bc it was taking one hand to hold the line which was still attached to the rod in my nieces hand.. I was terrified she would move and accidentally "set" the hook...my other hand was keeping his mouth open in hopes I could still prevent him from chewing and then swallowing the bacon wrapped hook.

I ran ..literally ran to car to go to ER at LSU vet school... I could only pray that the hook was somehow still in the back or very top of throat.. I didn't take time to investigate.. I was terrified it might block his breathing or cut his esophagus of stomach..anyway...got there and x ray showed the hook already to his stomach!! He had to have anesthesiologist come in.. be put under.. They were going to first try to retrieve it endoscopically.. and if they couldn't get it out... proceed to cutting his abdomen. Also, they mentioned the possibility that his stomach could have a hole...obviously that would be a big problem...but they didn't think it was.

Thankfully, about an hour and a half into his procedure... the vet student came out with a little cup with the fish hook..line and sinker! I have NEVER been so happy to see a fish hook!! They were able to get it out, and so far they see no preforation to his stomach. However, he is in ICU for the night. I so hope everything continue to progress smoothly the rest of tonight so that he can be back here with me. I really miss him, and I am so happy he has been so so fortunate! I'm also thankful to have LSU vet school here!

OMG thank God you took immediate action. These little stinkers are so quick & it's just often impossible to prevent these kinds of accidents. I'm glad they didn't have any trouble retrieving the hook & with any luck he has no other problems resulting from the hook & will be back home with you in no time.

Fish hooks and dogs do not mix well....I NEVER let my dogs around ANY type of fishing gear, or people fishing! I can promise you, either the pup or YOU is going to get hung up on a fish hook! You were very fortunate with this latest incident....I can certainly understand frazzled nerves!

Omg I am so glad you acted so fast!! And, like you said you were close to a great er!!!

Well....I will put that on my list of fears...do NOT let my pups near fishing I would never have though it was so dangerous, maybe because my dh useds worns and that is not as tempting as bacon. The point is you were doing your best and besides gray hair and an expensive vet visit it will be ok.

I am SO happy to hear that it sounds like your baby will be okay! We'll keep sending positive energy your way.

I've never heard of anyone using bacon for fishing before-that's a new one.

I'm new to the forums, so I don't know a lot about you and lil ones, but once this whole ordeal is over, a refresher of obedience might be in order-stay and leave it can be pretty tricky commands, especially when it's something like bacon, but it couldn't hurt to refresh those incase something sticky happens again

Thanks to everyone for kind words and support! I also would NEVER allow my tiny dogs down by people fishing much less children... Is essentially a disaster waiting to happen!!! In my original post I said I left alot out and I did. I said I couldn't take her bc I had dogs w me and an adult offered to watch the dogs. I went over to pleeeeez not let them outside.. I had already taken them out to potty and they'd be fine for 15 minutes. Long story short it was about two minutes before I heard the back door shut and someone jumping in pool... Imagine my surprise when I hear voices behind us and it is who volunteered and agreed to watch the dogs!!
Anyway, for lack of space I will leave out all details but everything happened in a flash... I had been working w my dog all day on touch command w kids to alleviate his fear of other people and work on teaching him people were. Safe and not scary!! Well when she had dropped hook and bacon she dropped to ground to pick it up and did but had it in her open hand which is also touch command... And we had been doing touch and then rewarding w treat so I know that my baby thought he hit the goldmine w his treat in this particular "touch"!

Unfortunately it's exactly what I had been teaching him to do w them all day!! It's certainly not my niece's fault, and it was an accident bc she wasn't trying to give it to him... However, I would NEVER even for fifteen or five minutes have gone out there if I had for one second thought that my dogs wouldn't be watched!!!!!

I was so angry I was crying! He is my baby, and I would do anything to protect him.., had anyone said hey we can't watch him, I could have driven him home... Gotten the kennel out of the car etc etc.... I didn't put them in the kennel bc people were n den sitting watching tv and holding and playing w them... So I genuinely thought everything would be ok for fifteen minutes. **

Because I am more than a little hyper aware about my furbabies and the many possibilities of what could happen in a mere second. Everyone thought I was so over the top when I realized they were out but I don't think they think that any more. *

Yes!!! While typing vet just called and my baby is doing wonderfully!!! I am leaving now to go see him!!
*Sorry for all venting this was just horrific!! I knew of all the possible complications and it's scary to not know! Plus I didn't know if he was in pain when this happened. We were a good thirty minutes from LSU, but let's just say I made it in a whole lot less than that last night!!!

Hoping he can come home w me!!!

Between all in past two weeks.... Regular vet made fairly large mistake w vaccines on my smallest dog.. She as a result, was extremely sick for almost a week...The hawk and snake sitings all within days... And now this... I am more than a little frazzled!!

Bless your heart, you have had a very stressful couple of weeks!! We know you would never have let your pup get near anything like that on purpose. Unfortunately, accidents will happen, no matter how careful we are.

Phew ! You are one unlucky lady on one hand and one blessed lady in the other. No what I mean ? Your nerves must be jangling just now. I think I would be headed for the funny farm about now. Great to hear there's no real harm done to your furbutt. Not sure your bank balance will be in such good shape though. :/

that's why they call it an "accident"...I am sure you were beside yourself..don't beat yourself up. Stressed out? that's an understatement. I feel for you, sooooo glad vet was able to get it out. Give that little pup a belly rub from us while she is recouping and for you have a glass of wine.
