Tyler has just swallowed a coin.

My dog Tyler has just swallowed a coin which fell out of my pocket (it had a melted dog treat stuck to it which is why he was so eager!). Do i need to get a vet....i'm petrified it's goin to do some damag! Please help

Yes, please see a vet asap. We had a cat in recently who nearly died after swallowing coins that became stuck in her bowel and had been in there for a few days. The vet will x-ray him to see where it is and will tell you if they think it will pass naturally or not.

Good luck.

Your talking to the owner of a dog piggie bank  Otter ate 2 pound coins, I was so worried as he had just had surgery to remove stones he had ate . I called the vet and they sai they would pass ok, they did the very next day  Id keep checking his poop till they appear also I would call the vet for advice

Now I come to think of it, at Dogs Trust we had a dog just in who passed 2 £1 coins - we were all lining up to be his carer!

It's still always best to get them checked out though, the coin could easily lodge somewhere and cause complications.

Hope Tyler is ok and you get your money back (id wash it first tho)

Any sign of the money yet?
Bloomin' cockers who'd have them. The greedy little beggars

Thanks for all the answers...i was soooo worried!! Called the vet last night, who said it should pass threw with no problems, but just to check...no sign of it yet though (wish it'd hurry up...my neighbours probably think i have some kind of problem!!)
I won't be leaving my purse lying around in future!!!

I'd just wait a while and see if there is any change

sorry shouldn't laugh but i just couldn't resist it, hope everything turns out ok, and in future dog treats in one pocket change in the other

...hope it appears soon x

We had a Golden Retriever who ate a 50 pence piece.  We spent ages following him around, waiting for him to pass it, but it never appeared and he was fine.

We've always wondered what happened to it.

[Rats and Dogs]

Maybe if he'd gone for a colonic years later they would have found it!

'I'd just wait a while and see if there is any change'

Lol thats almost as bad as my dad who said...at least he's worth a bit more now!!!

Anyway i am happy to report that last night, whilst walking through the fields the 20 pence piece made a very smelly and unpleasant appearance!! My OH was v amused to hear my cries of delight over tyler's poo!! Much relief though, as i had visions of surgery etc....which with his money collecting ways, i'd have expected tyler to pay for!!
