| If he ate it he probably ate it in little bits, so no big deal. Just keep an eye on him. If he starts acting weird, like he can't poop, then I'd take him in. |

| !!! This happened to be the other day. I spent an hour searching the ground and my bed for it, worried to death (I'm petsitting my friend's maltipoo). I finally found wedged under my pillow. |

| It's AMAZING what these little guys can pass. Just watch for it and don't worry too much. Ginger's an eater of all things strange, and I usually give her a little olive oil when she needs to pass something. I've been told that helps, and told that it doesnt. But it makes me feel better. That way I'm being proactive. Good luck.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Pixie ate a hunk of a foam luggage tag a few weeks ago and she was fine. Just keep a close eye on your baby.

| I gave Royce last night peroxide to make him vomit but he didnt vomit the earplug so i called the emergency clinic and they told me either it went too far in his stomach and he cant vomit it or its already in his intestines . I asked what are my options and he told me i can bring him in and we will do an x ray and if we find it we will get it using a microcopic cam I asked about the cost and they told me around $1000.00 . they told me my other option is to keep an eye on him and give him vaseline or olive oil every 6 hours and if i dont see the earplug in his poop the next 2 to 3 days that i have to take him for an xray |

| Aaahhhhhh so relived thank god ok so this morning i took Royce outside sothat he can poop and to see if the earplug is there or not..so he pooped and no earplug and as i was retrieving a plastic bag from a pocket in his carrier to pick up his poop I see something orange in the pocket and guess what ? The earplug was there !!!!!!!!!!! I figured out what happened yesterday Iput my earplugs on the table and before taking royce outside I took a couple of plastic bags and put them on the table on the earplugs then i went to put Royce's harness and then grabbed the plastic bags and at that time i grabbed one of the earplug and put it in the pocket on the carrier without me noticing Afrer several phones calls to the emergency clinic and a sleepless night it 's a good lesson for me to always put my earplus the plastic case . Thank god it ended like this |

| Oh, thank goodness you found it That had to be frightening. Kalani ate a big chunk of plastic off one of my window blinds yesterday and while he was taking a nap he woke up screaming and then didn't want to eat dinner I did the oil thing for 2 meals and this afternoon at lunch he pooped it out - thank God - and it was a big piece!
