What to Do If Your Dog Swallows a Foreign Object

What Do You Do!? When a Missing Toy Ends Up in Your Dog's Stomach

Jackie's mom noticed that a piece was missing from one of his rubber toys at home and suspected he might have accidentally swallowed it, so she rushed him in to see the veterinarian. It might sound like a small thing, but if the toy blocks the stomach, it can become a serious problem and put your dog in danger.

In this case, the veterinarian diagnosed and treated the issue using endoscopy, examining the abdomen, digestive system, and respiratory system without needing surgery. A small camera was inserted into the stomach to remove the toy, which meant a shorter recovery time and less pain for the dog.

Don't forget to keep a close eye on your dog and regularly observe their behavior -- this helps us address problems quickly, so your dog can stay with you for a long time.
