Vet Q & AMy dog ate a tiny glass fuse from Christmas lights. What should I do?
I would recommend to call the Pet Poison Control hotline to make sure there are no toxic components within the fuse its self. If there is a potential for a toxin, take him into the vet immediately to make him vomit it back up. If no toxicity is present, the small fuse will likely pass in a dog Apollo's size. Feeding him bread (3-5 slices) will help to bulk around the fuse and hopefully prevent it from breaking and allowing the glass to be a problem.
As long as there is not a danger of toxins, monitor him closely for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy or not wanting to eat as these could all be signs that the fuse is causing a problem. Best of luck with Apollo!
