This may be due to curiosity, boredom, or even carelessness. While some items are actually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/blog\/sonnets-roses-and-poison-preventing-a-pet-poisoning-on-valentines-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toxic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or can cause a secondary illness like pancreatitis, others pose a physical risk.

We have seen about everything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you know that certain items are tempting for your pet, or notice him chewing on something that shouldn\u2019t be chewed on, be sure to take the proper precautions to stop the behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Retrieving Foreign Bodies in Pets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some foreign bodies will pass without trouble. Oftentimes, we may wait to see if the item becomes lodged in the digestive tract or causes other trouble before we go after it. Sometimes, however, the danger of waiting outweighs the treatment and prompt action is best. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foreign bodies in pets are initially assessed via <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/veterinary-services\/digital-diagnostics.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">radiographs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to determine where the object is in the digestive tract. Other testing, such as blood work, endoscopy, special radiographic studies (as with barium), or ultrasound, may be utilized to give us more information about what is going on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is determined that a foreign object needs to be retrieved, there are a few ways that we might go about this, depending on the individual situation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Inducing vomiting <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 If the object is still in the stomach and does not pose danger coming back up, we may choose to induce vomiting. While sometimes inducing vomiting at home with hydrogen peroxide may be indicated, you should always consult us first. It can be dangerous to do this with some objects and hydrogen peroxide use can have serious side effects. We have more effective, less dangerous ways to accomplish this task in our hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Endoscopy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 If an object is in the esophagus, stomach, or early part of the small intestine, sometimes we are able to retrieve it using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/veterinary-services\/veterinary-endoscopy.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">endoscopy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While the pet will need to be sedated to have the camera passed, it is a relatively non-invasive means of getting that wedding ring back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Exploratory laparotomy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 If a foreign object is lodged, has damaged the intestine, or is just too dangerous to retrieve any other way, an exploratory laparotomy may be recommended. This is simply a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/veterinary-services\/soft-tissue-orthopedic-surgery.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in which we open your pet and retrieve the object. Sometimes the object has caused damage to parts of the intestinal tract that need to be surgically fixed or even removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pets eat objects that they shouldn\u2019t all the time. The vast majority of instances resolve on their own without any complications. Sometimes, however, we are unlucky and need to intervene. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your dog has eaten your homework or your hard drive, please <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">immediately so that we can help assess the situation and step in, if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the digital day and age, the timeless excuse that the dog ate your homework may not be as relevant as it once was.
