If your canine has just swallowed a sock, don’t panic! chances are, he’ll be OK.
I recommend you try to get him to throw up. much more on that below.
I’m going to share with you my recent experience with my canine swallowing a sock, and of course if you’re not sure what to do it’s always best to speak with with a vet.
My canine ate a sock, will he be OK?
A few weeks ago, my 3-year-old weimaraner Remy swallowed a sock best in front of me.
He has some possessiveness issues and tends to clamp down on items as hard as he can so I can’t get them … and in some cases he swallows those items.
Usually this is not a substantial deal, and we manage it. He swallows small wrappers, napkins and small pieces of trash all the time. Not a substantial deal.
But a sock?!
I saw he had the sock in his mouth, and I asked him to “drop it.” Looking back, I probably should’ve just ignored him and he would’ve set it down on his own. Or maybe I should’ve given him a hard bop to the nose.
Anyway … he looked at me and then proceeded to swallow the sock in one gulp. Whole.
Shit …
“Ha!” he said, a dumb grin on his face. “Drop what?!”
My initial thoughts were, “God damnit, you dumb dog! What the hell is wrong with you?”
Smart dogs can do dumb things.
I thought of the substantial vet bill I might be facing and what it might be like to keep a young weimaraner calm for several weeks to recover from surgery. I was mad at myself for leaving the sock on the ground in the first place and pissed at my canine for ignoring my “drop” command for the millionth time.
Can a canine pass a sock?
After a frantic google search, I saw some people saying that their large dogs were able to pass a sock.
In our case, it was a thin, athletic sock, the kind that stops at the ankle. practically like a kid’s sock. and our canine is 62 pounds.
“Do I just do nothing and hope for the best?” ខ្ញុំឆ្ងល់។ “Will he be able to pass it?”
It was a Sunday evening of course so our vet was closed.
I was NOT going to call the emergency vet. គ្មានផ្លូវទេ។ It’s terrific we have that option, but I have learned the hard way not to go that route unless it’s a true emergency ($$$$$!!).
So instead, my plan was to try to make Remy throw up using hydrogen peroxide and if that didn’t work, just wait it out and hope for the best. (Thank you, Maren, for your valuable advice!)
My canine ate a sock, ought to I make him throw up?
This is of course a question for your dog’s vet, but with my own canine I chose to make him throw up.
if your canine ate a sock, there are risks to making your canine throw up the sock. If the sock is large or if your canine is small, the sock could get stuck in his throat and become a choking hazard. I wasn’t concerned about this with my 62-pound canine and a small sock. and our vet was closed, so I just chose to try it.
Does hydrogen peroxide work to make a canine throw up?
Yep.
Short version: Making my canine throw up the sock using hydrogen peroxide worked, eventually. My canine puked up the sock and he was fine. No trip to the vet. No money spent. Phew.
Long version: read on
Once we chose we were going to try to make Remy throw up using hydrogen peroxide, we kept him on a leash so we’d be able to get him if he did throw up the sock.
We are blessed with a canine who gets possessive of his own puke (!!) and I knew he’d for sure try to re-grab the freaking sock.
First dose of hydrogen peroxide went down, no puke.
Second dose … he threw up a lot. but no sock.
We gave a third dose and chose this would be the final dose. I’m no vet, and I don’t know how much hydrogen peroxide is safe to give. (Turns out, a third dose is typically not recommended for safety but it didn’t seem to bother Remy.)
So on the third dose … he puked again. Still no sock!
This canine is seriously stubborn.
Some dogs will throw up socks on their own
So, I chose at that point I would just wait it out and hope for the best. I went to bed that night hoping he’d be able to pass the sock or that his body would naturally throw it up just as he throws up pieces of wood, turf and chunks of plastic. (Oh, the joys!)
I’ll give him this, his system is efficient!
So, I got up the next morning and greeted my pup out in the living room where he sleeps. and oh my God, there was the sock! He’d puked it up in the middle of the night!
Only, after seeing me, my idiot canine quickly made a beeline for the sock and rapidly RESWALបន្ទាបស្រោមជើង!
WTF?!
ពេលនេះខ្ញុំចូលចិត្ត “អូខេឆ្កែ។ អ្នកនឹងបោះស្រោមជើងដ៏អាក្រក់នេះហើយ “។
ដូច្នេះយើងបានចាប់ផ្តើមការព្យាបាលជំងឺអ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide ម្តងទៀត។
ដូសដំបូង:
Canine រងរបស់ខ្ញុំបានបដិសេធមិនបោះចោល។ គាត់បានបោះនៅក្នុងមាត់របស់គាត់ហើយលេបវា។
ដូសទីពីរ: មិនមានភ្ជួរទេ។
ដូសទីបី:
ខ្ញុំអាចប្រាប់ថាគាត់មានអារម្មណ៍ថាមានអារម្មណ៍ថាមានអារម្មណ៍ស្រងាកចិត្ត។ ខ្ញុំបានឱ្យគាត់នៅលើខ្សែមួយដូច្នេះខ្ញុំអាចធ្វើឱ្យគាត់ឆ្ងាយពីភួយរបស់គាត់យ៉ាងឆាប់រហ័ស។
ហើយបន្ទាប់មកឡើងលើវាស្រោមជើងនិងទាំងអស់!
ខ្ញុំត្រូវដោះស្រាយសត្វចាបរបស់ខ្ញុំចេញដើម្បីឱ្យគាត់នៅឆ្ងាយពីការបរិភោគស្រោមជើងឡើងវិញជាលើកទីបី!
WooooO! សម្រាប់ការឈ្នះ!
ខ្ញុំទទួលបានស្រោមជើង។
ផេក!
ដូច្នេះរឿងរ៉ាវវែងខ្លីធ្វើឱ្យស្រោមជើងរបស់អ្នកបានយកមកហើយរក្សាអ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide នៅលើដៃ។ វាពិតជាដំណើរការណាស់។
ហានិភ័យនៃការធ្វើឱ្យការបោះរបស់អ្នកបោះចោល
ជាការពិតវាមិនតែងតែមានសុវត្ថិភាពទេក្នុងការផ្តល់អ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide ។ ប្រសិនបើសត្វកំប៉ុងរបស់អ្នកបានលេបអ្វីដែលមុតវាអាចបណ្តាលឱ្យមានការខូចខាតជាច្រើនទៀតក្នុងការធ្វើឱ្យគាត់បោះចោល។
ទីពីរដូចជាខ្ញុំបាននិយាយថាតែងតែមានហានិភ័យនៃការញាក់។
ហើយទីបីសារធាតុគីមីរាវមួយចំនួនឬថ្នាំដែលមិនលាយជាមួយអ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide និងការធ្វើដូច្នេះអាចធ្វើឱ្យអ្វីៗកាន់តែអាក្រក់ទៅ ៗ ។ រឿងខ្លះមិនមានសុវត្ថិភាពទេប្រសិនបើវាលាយជាមួយអ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide ។
នៅពេលមានការសង្ស័យអ្នកគួរតែសួរវីអ៊ីធី។
សូមមើលប្រកាសរបស់យើងអំពីវិធីធ្វើឱ្យសត្វកំប៉ុងរបស់អ្នកបោះចោលដោយប្រើអ៊ីដ្រូសែន peroxide ។
ឥឡូវនេះខ្ញុំចង់ស្តាប់ពីអ្នក!
តើអ្វីដែលចម្លែកបំផុតដែលជនជាតិចិនបានញ៉ាំ?
សង្ឃឹមថាអ្វីៗទាំងអស់បានប្រែក្លាយមិនអីទេ។
