Lack of action would certainly have resulted on ex.lap at 2pm christmas day. Without doubt!

[quote user="Glenn Hodgson"]Would anyone inspire me to pull it out with the scope tomorrow.?[/quote] If it does obstruct will you be doing the exlap on christmas day?!

Wise words Martin. Always check for the second.... calf/sock

We had ourselves a laundrybasketbezoar. Apogo did not bring up this large mass of socks so scoped it out after confirming position on ultrasound + palpation.

Tonight we have a 3.2kg x-breed puppy that has swallowed a size 7 ankle sock sock (thin fabric)

I think this will pass and a small bottle of liquid P should do the trick. Would anyone inspire me to pull it out with the scope tomorrow.?

I've been doing this for a while now, it is however a rather small pup and I would appreciate opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Decision is being made 8:30 Friday morning

[/quote]Have you imaged it to see where the sock is? Last dog I saw which had swallowed a sock had also eaten a football but strangely the owner hadn't noticed that was missing!

If he is not vomiting already, I would also be considering apomorphine.

We always had to deal with dogs who seemed to favour Blaxnit Heavy Duty socks or similar and always needed ex-laps

My last one of these gentle abdominal palpation induced vomiting and a sock sausage appeared!

Rightly or wrongly, I would have given an injection of apomorphine.
