My dog ate headphones. Is copper wiring toxic? What should I do?

Oh dear! Puppies are notorious for chewing up and eating things they shouldn't. The biggest concern is that one or more pieces of the headphones could become lodged in her intestines and cause a blockage - if this happens, she will need emergency surgery to remove the obstruction. The good news is, as long as she is eating and drinking normally, acting fine, and not vomiting, you shouldn't need to worry :) Signs of an obstruction would include vomiting, not eating, acting lethargic, and not having regular bowel movements. If she develops any of these symptoms over the next 2-3 days, you will need to take her to the vet for an exam and possible surgery. But as long as she's acting normal, it should be fine to just monitor her at home.

Hi, the main question is will it pass through the stomach into the intestine and then out with feaces ? Ideally, if possible he should be made sick with a simple injection at your local vet. That would put your mind at rest, if not you should just feed him and monitor what comes out the other end. Hope this helps !

Yes, I would be concerned in that this copper wire can puncture his intestines. You did the right thing by giving Jax some bread, and I would continue to give him bread with every meal. This will form a ball of ingesta around the wires, and will hopefully protect the intestines as the wire passes. Keep an eye out for blood in his feces, anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, and diarrhea. If you see any of those signs, they can be symptomatic of the wire piercing his intestines, and I would Jax into the vet right away. Hopefully, they will pass without problem!

This foam part may pass without problem. You can take Arnie into an ER vet now to have vomiting induced to get it out, or you can watch him for signs of obstruction. These include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take him into a vet right away. Best of luck.

This is a potentially serious problem. A piece of copper may cause copper toxicity which can damage the liver or be fatal. Inducing vomiting may be dangerous, so that decision should be left up to your veterinarian. An abdominal x-ray can be taken to confirm or rule out an ingestion. If Kalli did swallow a piece, it should be removed as soon as possible. This may require endoscopy or surgery.

It would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian and have abdominal x-rays performed. Otherwise, watch her for vomiting. If she begins vomiting, then she likely has developed an obstruction in her intestines.

Toxicity wise there isn't much to worry about but the wire could still irritate the stomach and intestines, depending on the amount it could also cause an obstruction. if the wire was connected to the electricity at the time of ingestion he could also have been electrocuted which can cause some internal damage in the lungs and throat for example. you should consider all these options and decide if you want to monitor him for now or take him tp the vet right away for a checkup.
