I feel awful. Out fishing and I'm baiting a hook and think I dropped the bait, look down and see the dog eat it up. Look back up at my fishing rod and noticed I didnt have the swivel closed and the leader with the hook was gone, so I actually dropped the baited hook and short leader. He didnt show any symptoms but I ended the fishing trip and headed home. Now I'm worried something fierce. Pic of dog that eats everything. http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k537/JohnSmith6073/20160503_121035_zpsl5tdrlvl.jpg I'm hoping it gets balled up into a big ol duke and passes but does that actually happen? View Quote The hook will need to be removed by the vet or it will likely kill your dog in slow and painful fashion. |

Emergency Vet, now. If you love the guy, this is gonna cost you. A barbed hook ain't coming out on its own.
|

Vet fucking now.
Every minute is a minute for sepsis to set in. |
|
Get the pooch to the Vet. ASAP. Not tomorrow.
That hook will do what it was designed to do. |

I was steelhead fishing up on the Trinity river with a bunch of guys. One of them has a yellow lab that ate some bait some asshole left on the shore. It had a hook in the middle. He took it to the vet an hour away. The vet fed the dog a big bowl of dry food, let him drink a bunch of water then gave him syrup of ipacac. He threw everything up and the hook with it.
Vet said if that didn't work it was surgery. It happen quite frequently during the Steelhead/Salmon run. The bait was tuna balls wrap over the hook. |

Feed the dog a ton of bread and watch closely for it to pass. That will be the entirety of a visit to the vet.

I knew a kid in 8th grade that swallowed one, and the doctor let it pass naturally, and it did.

Quoted: WRONG Get the dog to a vet - The hook is only part of the problem. The leader WILL also entangle in his intestines. Please for the dog get to the vet.

But that is exactly what happened a few summers ago to the in-laws dog. |

Hoping OP is at the vet atm...... Wondering why the hell he didn't go shortly after doggo ate the fishing tackle... Wondering why I keep clicking GD links! >_<

My dog once ate a treble hook covered in stink bait. We only found out when he threw it up in the kitchen the next day.
We still took him to the vet for x-rays and some medicine, in case it caused any damage in his gut. OP take the dog to the vet. |

Don't feel bad OP. I had the exact same thing happen to me/my pup about 20 years ago.

Doc called, they got it out. They're going to keep him for a couple of days to make sure he can take food. Maybe I can get some sleep now.

It's gonna mangle the wallet, but worth it in the long run. ![]() Best wishes on a speedy and trouble free recovery. |

Will your pocket be a little lighter? Yes. But that's nothing compared to what could have happened if you tried to skimp and something(eventually) went wrong. Happy days now ahead

I'm sure the dog will be fine now. Your wallet, on the other hand....

The bills from the emergency vet places are brutal. Good thing everyone in GD is independently wealthy.
Good luck to OP and dag. |
|
Wait...OP actually took GD's advice? Isn't that a first?
![]() I wish your pup a speedy recovery! |
|
Damn. I hope all goes well.
I had something similar with a piece of window screen ( the x-ray was pretty bright like that) Thankfully, surgery wasn't necessary and he passed it pretty quick. I freaked out though. That hook looks sharp. Good on you for paying attention and getting it to the vet. They just can't help themselves sometimes. |

Should have just given it a shit ton of hydrogen peroxide ![]() View Quote I have since learned that if the hook sets in the esophagus its a huge PITA to remove and likely deadly, so inducing vomiting would be a sketchy proposition. Dog is home now, in obvious pain. I have some Tramadol and other meds he will be on for a while. In two weeks he has to return for staple removal.... |

Hope your pup recovers, OP.
Our now 15 yo weim tried to eat a hook when she was about 6 months old. I was getting ready for an ice fishing trip - sorting hooks, making sure everything was ready to go. One of the hooks was a big ass airplane jig. I think it had 3 big treble hooks hanging of of it. I packed all my hooks, leader, bobbers etc into one of those 5 gal buckets with an insulated seat on it and set it aside in the living room next to my pile of other gear. Next day at work I get a call that madchen had eaten a hook. I went home to find a pretty sad weimeraner. She had dug out the airplane jig out of the bottom of the bucket, got one treble hook in her lip, another in her paw, forget what the third hook was stuck through, ear I think. I got the dykes out and cut the various hooks and took her to the vet to remove them. f'ng dags. |
