View Full Version : My baby ate some batteries...

Just thought that I'd vent a little to a group of people that'd understand exactly how tenacious dobes can be...
I woke up this morning to find the remote control with the back taken off and the batteries missing. ( The remote had been up on an end table, not on the floor) I go into a full panic attack looking for the batteries and realize that they're gone. All the while mommy's tearing the sofas apart, little miss Olive is wagging her tail at me and "smiling" because she's happy to see me. Of course I rush her to the vet and sure enough, there they are on the x-ray. They tried to get her to vomit them up since they were still in her stomach, but no success. She's having surgery today and I can go and get her tomorrow.
I just thought I'd let y'all know that she's been up to some mischief...I have never owned a dog that would seek things out to eat that weren't edible :)

OMG!! Sorry I just got home and read this. Hope she is on the mend now. Batteries are definitely NOT good. Surprised they would even try to get her to throw up with the dangers of battery acid.

Keep us posted. We are saying special prayers.

Hugs to little Olive!! Hope she breezes thru the surgery with no complications. We have to keep our remotes up on top of bookcase when we aren't in the room as our little nosy thing has started checking things on the end tables too. So far she hasn't eaten anything off them that I know of. Notice the "that I know of". LOL Take care and keep us posted.

A quick update:
Olive did fine, pulled through the surgery great. She's eating and everything just fine. We've got her on a bland diet for a few days and she's tolerating that well. She's playing and acting like everything's fine!
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers from everybody
