Yes please check with your vet before you do any homemade remedies. |

Great post! |
This article is by Sandy Brock, btw. If one of my pets swallowed anything sharp, obstructive, or potentially poisonous...we'd be on the way to our vet or any Emergency Clinic. You know the texture of the inside of your mouth? The entire digestive tract surface is just as soft, and in some areas softer. And an obstruction is so very dangerous bc, first, they actually have to *find* the obstruction... |

This really is the point Linda was trying to make about going to the vet First... |

I can see it now.... Use a wrestling hold until the pup passes out...and then hurry before they come to......and......With a steak knife, make a small incision, turn the pup over and let the little marbles fall out, flip him back over again and take a needle and thread and stitch him up. Give 5cc of vodka twice daily for 7 days fo pain. Same procedure for spays ... carefully remove the ovaries, use "real" cotton balls to clean up the blood....be sure to count the cotton balls before stitching up the pup. Use the same procedures above for anesthesia and pain management. Tune in tomorrow for cataract surgery. :p |

Tell me....all of you who think this is appropriate....if YOU accidentally swallowed glass, would you eat cotton balls or rush to the ER? |

Now that would be scary. |

There ya go....vet or doctor first. Always. I swallowed a fish bone and was given bread. But...maybe the doctor was a quack? :p |

Also, anything sharp can cause injury, including plastics, so switching to plastic ornaments may not remove the threat. This thread just reminded me of my second Yorkie. She would eat the metal zipper slides you find on a pair of jeans. Never knew it till after the fact, ie: put on a pair and try to zip them up!:eek: I found one in her poop one time. She also liked to eat the snaps off western type shirts, which almost caused death by hubby. (JK):D Yorkies will teach you to put your clothes away...at least until they learn how to open the closet! |
yorkiemama1986 I just want to say that I know that you meant well by posting this tip, but you have to be careful when you read tips over the web. Craigslist it not a place where I would get recommendations on what to do in an emergency. I know that cotton balls can cause problems, my son's dog ate one, and it was a real cotton ball, not synthetic. It was whole and perhaps that's why it caused the problem, but it’s a 15 pound dog, and still it took a long time before it passed, about 5 days. I just don't want you to feel bad about posting the tip, you have helped educate by doing this. :) |

(You know I have never been able to eat fish since then without searching through it CAREFULLY and chewing tiny bites like 100 times. Totally tramatized me as a kid....Choking on a bone.) |
