Mia swallowed a sock!

As the title says little Mia has managed to swallow 1 of my gf's ankle socks so not the bigest sock but still I'm worried, it happened about 3 1/2 hours ago but she's been acting normal & eating her food, i spoke to vet & they basically said just wait to see if she poos it out maybe tomorrow it will happen. has anyone else been in the same situation?

Scary, isn't it? I think a sock should be fine coming out by itself, just keep an eye out for it in her poo.

Gizmo ate a wetwipe when he was younger. It got stuck coming out so I had to pull it the rest of the way.

Bring some extra bags with you on walks so you can use them as hand protection...

I've not had experience of socks being eaten... Sticks yes. As the vet says, as long as Mia is eating and drinking ok then it should pass but as mentioned above, you might have to help it out completely

Ruby has swallowed a sock before she vomited it up a while later, What is it with Staffys and socks omg!!!!!! shes always grabbing them from the washing. Have to watch them so carefully . Hope shes ok?

Sure it will pass through ok, then a quick clean through the washer and yer GF will have a pair again

Hope she is okay

Just be very careful if you have to help it out. Do it very slowly if need be.
When we were kids our dog ate my school tie! It came out pretty much as it went in. And no, it wasn't worn again!

Ha Inez I think you're being a bit optimistic there
I hope it passes ok keep us updated! Silly Mia!

Thanks for the replies, she's only had 1 poo this morning & it wasn't in there, she's acting normally & eating drinking fine, will let you know if it ever comes out

What a cheeky little monkey, hope all goes well.

Woke up to mia today & she's been sick in her cage, she's still ate her breakfast as normal & gone for a poo as normal but still no sock, im getting a bit worried now that it still hasn't come out, should i get her to the vets today?

Maybe ring the vets first to see what the best thing to do.

Is it possible the vet can prescribe something like senakot might help the sock on its journey? If shes inno discomfort the sock may take a while to pass through poor mia

Definitely recommend a trip to the vet's if she's been sick. If it's a partial blockage caught early then it should be easy enough to fix, but if you wait it could cause problems.

Hope Mia is OK do u have a update on her??, is a scary thing when our babies eat these foreign objects. Ruby had a bad tummy gastro bug from eating a hair tie (we think )

How is wee mia?

Quick update for you, still no sign of the sock, Mia is acting her normal self & still going toilet at regular intervals & still eating her food like she's starving, vet's have said just keep an eye on her still.
As regards to her scratching that's calmed down a lot so looks like the Piriton is working a treat.

She must like that sock Andy.... A lot

Silly Mia..... Hope she is ok! keep us all updated when your are finally reunited with the sock!

FINALLY the sock has come out:applause: , little Mia vomited it up along with 2 teddy arms she ate a week ago

BLOODY HELL!!! its nearly been a whole month  so its been sitting in her stomach for that long, that's incredible. So glad she is ok & it finally came out, great news. I bet the teddy will be happy to get his/her arms back  

Is it still up for Inez's suggestion of putting through the wash?

Christ that was in there a long time hAha glad she's ok

You are kiddin me

I thought you were gonna have to by your girlfriend some new socks, good news huh

Bloody hell! No wonder she's been hungry, all that tummy space being used up by limbs and socks.

Never been so happy to see sick all over the living room rug ha, the sock did look like how it went in just needs hanging up on the washing line

Nice the sock made an appearance sometimes can take time to appear she will feel better now

Wow that is impressive Mia!! Glad it's finally come back up! Foot must've been getting cold eh

Wow that took a while! it was obviously keeping her tummy warm Glad she is ok xx

bless her
