Last Thursday night, Blue broke his Kong toy before we had a chance to cut out the squeaker, and swallowed it. It's pretty big this time. A large round rubber piece, with a smaller protruding plastic attachment. He gagged on it, but managed to get it down.
He's been acting fine, eating, drinking, playing and pooping. Then two nights ago, we woke up to gagging sounds. He threw up some thick liquid. Last night he did it again. It's been five days and it hasn't passed.

Called our vet, she said take him to the hospital.

So now just waiting for hubs to get home. Can't believe this happened again and it's completely our fault. Why we thought he wouldn't break it as quick as he did is beyond me:facepalm2: .
I'm a complete wreck. Just the idea of how bad this could end is scaring the hell outta me. Just need reassurance, he's gonna be ok, right? :girlcry:

Oh boy, why do the silly buggers keep on doing stupid things??? I'm sure he's going to be fine. I have paraffin in the house just in case I think Voitto gets obstructed. He's eats everything.

Oh no, so sorry. Dozer does the same thing, he has eaten 4 socks, and a dish cloth, and has always managed to pass it. On 3 occasions he showed no signs at all, ate, peed, pooped, and played normal, and on the other occasions he showed signs of being lethargic, vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling from his mouth. He has taken from 1 week to 1 month for the last sock he swallowed before he passed it. He will probably pass it on his own either by throwing it up or pooping it out. Keep an eye on his poops to see if he passes it. I'm sure he will be fine. The object is rubber so is smooth, so there isn't any risk of it poking him or perforating anything inside. He should be able to pass it out, but it could take a while. I hope Blue is okay, and I'm sending hugs, love, and prayers that he is able to pass it soon. Please keep us posted.

Thinking of Blue and you right now. I know you're so worried, but try to keep optimistic that everything will be okay and Blue will be able to pass the squeaker on his own.
