| I would call your vet or an emergency clinic and see what they want you to do.... Some things can actually cause more damage coming back up than they would if they just passed through. |

BANNED! | I wouldn't enduce vomiting it might get stuck or cause more problems comming back up. Call your vet he/she may do an x-ray to see if its big enough to warrant getting it out or if they decide its small enough to be able to pass naturally. I wish you the best with it. |

| Abby got sick last week ate something she shouldn't have and we were told by the vet to give her 1tsp of perioxide. Wait 15 min and if still not vomited to give 1 tsp again. We gave her a syringe full and it did the trick. Some how my son's medication hit the floor and she swooped it up before we could take it away. YIKES big scare for us!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | 1tsp of peroxide should make her throw up. However, since it was a chunk of wood that she ate i don't recommend doing this. If it were food, pills, or something that didn't have jagged edges then i might say go for it.
