My dog is fine and it wasn't my fault she needed surgery. She just deflated and swallowed her fave toy. (lemmy.world)

I'm glad you caught it early. I wasn't going to say it in the first thread, but my dog once swallowed something she shouldn't have, and the first symptom was faeces backing up to her mouth. It was too late by then.

I'm so sorry that happened. I was incredibly concerned when my dog's vomit started smelling foul. It was only bile, thank God. I get to give my carpets a thorough scrubbing while my pup is away recovering. My parents were kind enough to take her in for a while for her recovery so I can get the rest I need and get some much-needed chores done. She was sick off and on for almost a week before her symptoms got bad enough to warrant a vet visit and I barely slept in that time. I should have taken her to the vet sooner, but she wasn't acting truly sick until day 5. Until then she just puked every so often and I figured she ate something gross outside or wasn't eating enough because she was eating so much snow. When she turned her nose at chicken and rice, I panicked. That's her favorite meal.
