My dog swallowed a ball this morning

[Marie2020]

There was the ball and then it was gone in an instant. I was horrified as I've never had to deal with anything like it before. Luckily I have some food grade peroxide so got him him home fast, mixed a teaspoon of peroxide into 2 tablespoons of water grabbing a syringe I made the poor lad drink in down, it didn't take long before he was sick bringing the nasty object up with it. Such a relief. So lesson learn no soft squeak balls ever again. cannot imagine life without my daft old boy

Good thinking. Glad all turned out well.

Turned out well? I'm glad it came out well.

Glad it all turned out OK.

THANX RICH

eek! glad it worked!

That could have ended very badly! So glad you were able to get him to hack the ball back up.

That was a smart decision. If you hadn't gotten it out right away it would be one expensive surgery later.

My friend told me her dog swallowed a dummy and it cost over £300. Money aside, the journey and the wait because of distancing I really didn't think he'd survive, let alone the surgery.

Fast thinking! I've had to give peroxide to a dog before and it was pitiful to watch....he threw up...or tried to...all day long. But, it worked and saved his life and us a vet bill.
