| She threw up an actual DIME???? You might want to get her to a vet for an xray, sooner rather than later.....this Morkie is not an ATM machine and she should NOT be producing pocket change....she may have more down there, and she could have an intestinal blockage...that will kill her if you do not get it treated appropriately. Then, you are going to have to puppy proof her surroundings...no access to small objects she can ingest and either strangle on or end up needing surgery from an intestinal blockage.....also, you must be informed about what you have laying around within her reach that could poison her....these pups are like a 2 year old toddler....everything that can go into their mouths, will. |

| Coins can be deadly to dogs!! Many have zinc which is toxic. Read the following link: My Dog Ate Money! Coins and Dogs, Coins and Cats

| If she was throwing up this morning, I would go ahead and take her to the vet. Better safe than sorry. Things can go badly so quickly.

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! | |

| You need to get her to the vet to make sure there is nothing else in her system that should not be.

Has she been eating/ drinking? Normal BM? What type of kibble are you feeding her? It's important to feed a high quality kibble.

wow agree. 1. don't feed a puppy milkbone these treats are horrid 2. as you have now learned pups can and will eat anything they get their little lips on, you need to have eyes on that dog all the time and crate or contain it when you are not around, also have a good look around your home and under things | |

| I find my dogs love a nice bit of roasted unseasoned chicken as reward but mostly they get what I call FISHEEZ. Dried anchovies. They love raspberries and blueberries too. All organic of course. The more natural the treat the better and you'll feel better about it too. I actually changed what I feed myself once I realized I was doing it for my dogs and still feeding myself processed corn and soy filled stuff. And it all comes with time and patience we learn as we go. |

The milk bone is the very least of your problems. I wish you would have taken her to the vets after she threw up the dime. Who knows just how many or what else she may have ingested.
