Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Anyone know how The Center for Specialized Veterinary Care in westbury is? Th vet I have gone to for years is no longer practicing due to illness, the replacement did not give me much info, so I called a vet in Jericho that was recommended to me by a friend. That vet told me that I did not need to come in right away for x-rays and to keep an eye on him.

the Commack one is the place that told me NOT to bring Gizmo in when I thought he swallowed a chicken bone They told me just to feed him bread and watch him and his poop carefully.

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

I hope he is ok!

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Soctt and Danielle,

Please just take your dog to a vet asap.
He needs to be examined.

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Well, I just called another vet who first told me to try to get him to vomit. I told her it was too late for that. She didn't give me much of answers either. She said I can continue watching him. I asked, "so I don't need to bring him in right away? b/c I am afraid it might puncture something." she said I could and the docot would probably take an x-ray and then either operate or let it pass.

I'm not really getting to many answers, maybe I'll try the net name on the list?!

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Not sure if they are there now but give Dr. Fredericks a try. He's on 25A in Northport.

Hope your doggy is okay

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

I heard of a big dog eating a toothpick once, and the dog had all sorts of complications and it resulted in its death. - I would not wait, get the dog to a vet right away.

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

I am not sure if you got in touch with the center for specialized care in Westbury, but ANY doctor there is fantastic. I have brought several of my dogs there through the years and they are all just top notch.

I do hope you got Tiny in last night. I really am very frustrated that your original Vet told you not to come in. Please consider finding a new vet.

for Tiny

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

I agree, just take the dog in and demand he be examined!!

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

how is the dog doing

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

He is fine - normal and crazy as always

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Your dog has what we call an eating disorder. My dog had one. She ate scrunchies (this was a few years back), sponges, ropes, and once a dish towel. She had to get the towel removed because she couldn't pass it. It's frustrating having a dog that just eats stuff, but most of the time they pass it and it's not a problem.

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

he eats anything and everything. I cannot tell you the things I have pulled out of his mouth when we go for our walks.....He is crazy

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

Hopefully the screw appears soon so you can relax - and by the way, Misty eats all kinds of crap when I am walking her. She does it fast too cuz she knows I am going to yell at her

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

haha - I must look retarded walking tiny - because you will see me pulling him in opposite directions all the time to avoid things he shouldnt eat

Re: Danielle thinks our dog swallowed a Screw

scott--you should teach Tiny the "drop it" command.
When they have something in their mouth you show a treat and say drop it. when they drop it give them a treat.

This has actually turned into Lola's favorite activity. All day long she will actually find stuff to bring me for a treat. She took this to the next level, but at leat I know she will never eat anything she shouldn't. She will bring me everything she knows she shouldnt eat .. a piece of fuzz, a piece of paper, etc.
