They sure do love the squeakers, don't they?! We have to be extra careful with them too.. pretty much no stuffies around here.

I know how hard it is to spend so much $$$... My other half lost her job in Dec... and then we found out a week later we needed to do a $2200 knee surgery on Eli. We used CareCredit.. but I saw what you posted.. so hopefully you have another option. Good luck Indigo!

Thank you guys, I will definitely keep you posted. I think, I hope by now with how many freaking dogs I bring into that place the vet is flexible with me and probably will let me make payments.... I'm crossing my fingers.

Boy oh boy, do they ever love those Squeakers! My dog Sarah(a Yorkie) loves hers, I am sure glad she hasn't ate them yet!

My mother-in-law gave her Chihuahua a hambone, and she ate it whole. It got stuck in her throat, and she would throw up all the time. The vet had to push it down her throat, and into her stomack, and do surgery on her to get it out. LOL, she ask if she could have the bone back, and he looked at her really funny, and asked if she was going to feed it to her again.LOL!

I hope Mable will be alright, which I am sure she will be. Bless her little heart, we just gotta love them don't we? I'll be thinking of you and your Mable.

Just be glad you don't own Labs. I've read (much o it on here!) that they will ingest just about anything: rocks, socks, and everything else too.

Indigo, best of luck, hope that squeaker come OUT!

Is Mable missing her toy?

Thank you guys so much for your concern.

LMAO no, Mable hasn't even done anything as much as sniffed anything from her "previous life" she was a-ok to let that darn toy go! I really hope everything "comes out alright" lol.

Well this morning, I took Indigo in to the vet’s office, the first two x rays didn’t show anything, and she didn’t show any discomfort in her abdomen. DUH, squeakers don’t have metal to show up on x-rays, and I knew she wasn’t in any physical discomfort, it’s just when she was eating yesterday she would throw up… so before I left her behind at the vet I dropped 140.00 Well, I just talked to Dr. Thoma. It's looking like a partial blockage since she hasn't digested her food from this morning... but there isn't any throwing up going on so that's a plus... she ate 5 going on 6 hours ago. She said she has found a few foreign objects inside of her, but she can't really make out what exactly they are. They are going to keep her over night to watch her and see if she passes the Barium by the morning, and take two more x rays to make sure all of the barium has moved completely from her stomach. If she doesn’t need surgery tomorrow, my tab will be around 600.00 if she does… the surgery itself can be anywhere between 200-400 dollars. I think if she needs to have the surgery, I’ll just have her spayed while the vet is poking around in there. I really don’t want to spay her at this point…she’s always been my spoiled child without any rules…and in the last few weeks I decided to get on the ball with OB so I can do the same things with her as I am working on with the babies. Hakunnamattatta. I just don’t want to put her under anesthesia so many times… If she goes to surgery this time, it’ll be her fourth time in 3 years being anesthesized. I don’t want to keep doing it for unnecessary reasons.

Thanks I used the peroxide as soon as I hear her wheeze. It wouldn't come up because of the odd shape. A rule of thumb just in case... if he's difficult to go down, it'll be just as difficult coming back up. If your dog swallows something sharp, or any chemicals don't induce vomiting because it will do a lot more harm than good
