Ouch. Noisemakers in pet toys are a problem everywhere. I think the term lawyers like to throw around is "attractive nuisance"? OTOH, in the SE, we end up around $1,500 to 2K for the same type of care/surgery. Guess it's b/c in WA they're re-paving their pool area, where in MS we're getting new tires for the double wide.  ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

My Malamute used to do the same thing. Luckily he never swallowed one. Hope he heals up ok. | |||

I'm surprised the vet wouldn't prefer to let it pass, myself. My Dad practiced Veterinary medicine for 57 years, and the list of things he's seen a dog pass is amazing. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

"Dag" That sucks big time, glad he'll be OK. We took in a cat left in a box on the Church steps and had to pay $700 to fix a jacked up tooth, thought that was bad enough! “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

I hope all goes well with recovery. Our 6 year old lab would eat socks and underwear - passing all of them. Last year, she ate a tampon and it did it's job. $2850 and an overnight stay and she's fine. However, the trash cans in the bathrooms are facing the wall and she can't pry open the lid now.

Not trying to be a weisenheimer here, but I suspect he wasn't as prone to litigious clients as vets today are.  ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Dog and cat toys should be made of digestible materials. Hell, there are even "plastics" that will compost. | |||

i didn't think this was a problem. My mini poodle would always for the squeaker. She would get at the toy until she got hold of the squeaker. Then it won't squeak anymore. I never thought she would eat it. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

As I understand it, pets are treated as property in a legal sense. Damages are therefore very limited. What I am getting at is his recommendations were based on what's in the best interest of the pets and owners and his 50 plus years of experience, not in the best interest of his bank account.

Many vets, myself included, would take offense at the suggestion that my recommendation is solely for "the best interest" of my (our/their/his) bank account. I'm sure you really didn't mean that like it reads, right? ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

I am in no way slighting the profession, it is, I believe, an extraordinarily noble profession. Human nature is, however, human nature. Surely you are not so naive as to believe that vets by virtue of their choice of profession are somehow completely immune from such temptations? Temptations that become all to real when faced with the necessity of running a profitable business. It is because they are human, not because they are vets.

Huh. I paid over $4000 to have a broken leg fixed on a little feral cat that comes to my back yard to eat. (She's a sweetie, though, and lets me pet her.) flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
