My dog swallowed a remote. X-ray shows pieces. What should I do?

Question

If they find pieces of remote in Midnight from xray. What happens next? Pet's info: Dog | Chow Chow | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 65 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

If the pieces are small it may be possible to wait until they come out the natural way with the feces. If they are large or are obstructing the intestine, your dog may need surgery to remove them. Since Chow Chows are big dogs, they also have a larger diameter intestine, so it is quite possible that she will not need surgery. But it is not possible to tell via the internet and without an x-ray.
