Question

My 95 pound German shepherd swallowed a small corn cob whole. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 95 lbs

You may want to take Bobby to a Pet Emergency Room to have them make him regurgitate this corn cob. There is a chance that it my pass naturally on its own, however it could also cause an intestinal obstruction, if it gets stuck. So it is much better to have it regurgitated than stuck. This needs to be done within an hour or so.
