Sick dog please help

[hobbes4star 0]

So my dog got into the trash and ate 2 or 3 we are not sure used tampons. What should we do?? I think the vet but my wife thinks he will just puke them up.

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

It'll all come out in the end...

I just don’t want a tampon expanding in his stomach.

If it is "used," it has already been expanded.

It wouldn't even occur to me to take my dog to the vet for this, but it may be worth a trip [or at least a telephone call] for your peace of mind.

They have emergency vets in my area. Do you?

Go ahead, be an overexcited parent.

My vet rocks. Simon, my adventure loving yet clumsy cat, jumped right into the wall one day. I watched him for a bit, and then picked him up. Dark, discolored gums, and that was all it took. Called the vet, brought him in, and she checked him out...nothing but a bit of swelling and bruising, in the end, as would be expected pounding into the wall...but nothing else. I felt so much better about it. And that made all the difference in the world.

So if it will give you peace of mind, it's worth it. And if something did happen, and you hadn't gotten him checked, you'd feel like crud for a long, long time. So take him in...no vet worth their salt will think poorly of you.

And good luck...he's not going to have fun passing them.

I usually flush my used tampons.

Vet. Blockage can result in the dog getting terminally ill before showing any signs/symtoms. The string from the tampon can constrict or "cut" the intestine/bowel.

Probably will go on though without a problem, but could be very serious. Err on the side of safety on this.

Exactly. I see this all the time.

The longer you wait, the worse the prognosis, and higher your vet bill. Get a piece of mind and go.. if you haven't already.
I hope you will post updates.
