[Dailydrool] socks and the like

[Judith]

I have a word of caution when socks are worn or any such clothing optional item they can be swallowed. I was forwarded a story about a rescue boxer that died after swallowing socks. They do not show up on x-ray so the poor dog died slowly from blockage and was unable to be saved when he was finally operated on. Also when my Dice the rock swallower was in the hospital after surgery I was told that swallowed objects and clothing are the second most often surgery done after spay and neuter. Dice had another dog in at the same time that had swallowed a whole pair of panty hose so a little sock is nothing at all for one of our hounds to swallow. Good luck to everyone with the itchies. also my vet said one 25mg Benadryl 3x a day Dice is about 62 lbs.
