    Stomach acids are strong, I would assume a dogs is even stronger.

    Must of been painful going down. Bet the dog was relieved.

    I think the stomac has a Ph of 1 or something low. But then, I have some magnets they put in cows stomachs to catch metal nails and wire and they don't corrode ?

    I'm surprised they would remove it, you would think it would just pass okay.

    Zinc poisoning is similar to lead poisoning. I suspect that is the symptom that brought the poor dog into the vet in the first place.

    Some dogs will eat anything. I had a coworker who had one like that. It scarfed a large block of velveeta cheese one day. The aftermath was very, very unpleasent.

    Is that a true gold tone. Or is it the lighting on your camera?

    almost all of the clad has been removed by the stomach acid.....and i could just barely make out that it was a 1993 d. Sad thing is that is not what was wrong with the animal....he has a constant urinary infection.....

    Would this be classified as a NT or AT toned coin? image

    I dug this thread up because I'm sitting up waiting to hear from my daughter down in So Cal.
    Evidently my granddaughter swallowed a penny and they're at the hospital getting an xray. Oh brother!

    Mrs. Swampboy and I just had a chuckle remembering how much fun raising toddlers can be.
    The little one in the hospital tonight has nothing on her aunts. My oldest daughter had to go to the emergency room once with a quantity of rice stuffed up her nose. WTH is that about?image

    One night we had to take my middle daughter to the emergency room . Seems she stuffed tin foil in her ear! Far enough in that we couldn't see it. image

    Anyway, this thread has me kind of nervous. Zinc poisoning?

    Any update on the pooch ksboy?

    Cool. A doggie gastrolith dime.

    That should be eBay-ed, pronto, with the full story disclosed. image

    Scary. Doggies must have some serious acid in their innards, as mentioned.

    (Not that the human digestive system is any slouch when it comes to acid, as I can well attest in the middle of the night after eating anything with tomato sauce on it...)

    My little brother once fed our next door neighbor's dog a stick of butter.

    And he ate a stick of butter himself as well.

    Both had to go to their respective hospitals.

    They slab "ship wreck effect" coins, but I'm not sure they would do a "dog stomach effect."

    If the dog swallowed it intentionally its AT. If it was be mistake, its NT.

    << <i>If the dog swallowed it intentionally its AT. If it was be mistake, its NT. >>



    Then it must be AT. Dogs eat everything intentionally.

    The reverse was apparently stuck to the stomach wall or another coin keeping it from direct exposure to the acid--much less attack.

    Someone is spending much too much on vet bills. We grew up on the farm and pets that didn't make it were quickly replaced.
