If it's been over 2 hours...they say don't induce vomiting. It's already in the digestive track.

Copy and paste.... " recommend (and probably your own veterinarian will as well) the only substance you use at home to make your pet throw up is hydrogen peroxide.

I'm talking about three percent hydrogen peroxide – the kind you purchase at any pharmacy. Do not use the stronger, concentrated peroxide found in hair color, use only the three percent kind.

The dose is one teaspoon (five milliliters, or cc's) for every 10 pounds of body weight.

The hydrogen peroxide must be given orally to your pet. At my clinic, especially if the patient is a dog, we mix it with a little vanilla ice cream to make it palatable. I don't advocate feeding ice cream to dogs, of course, but in a situation where it's necessary to make a pet vomit, hydrogen peroxide hidden in sugary ice cream usually gets gobbled up with no argument.

He did it about an hour ago, what ya think? I don't want the cork to get stuck in airway on the way up

I would not induce vomiting in a bulldog - he could aspirate. Did he swallow it whole? Or chew it up? Did you happen to see?

There's a chance of course he could pass the cork in his BM. How's Guinness doing right now?

UGH... the stuff they get into! i would be on the phone with a vet... would not induce either --- so hope he poops it out

 

[wfd38383]

Well we are here at the vet and while waiting for the vet to come in, guinness dropped about 2lbs of poop all over the floor. Vet walked in to me squeezing poop hoping to find a cork in it. No cork, he is in X-ray now hopefully locating it

Oh my, that's a whole lot of poop! Thinking of you and Guinness...hoping everything will turn out a-okay. Please keep us updated.

X-rays showed no cork but there was a ton of food in his belly so they can't be sure. They r going to induce vomiting to get food out and hopefully a cork. If no cork, then X-ray again to see if they find it. Corks are porous and don't always show up on X-ray, so they may send him home until he either passes it or symptoms appear then it would be back to the vet
