zakjon-98 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 When I got home today my dog was excited as usual and as I was giving him him fuss he managed to pull/rip out a piercing retainer (a long, clear, plastic earring to hide piercings from work) from a cartilage piercing on my ear called a conch piercing. It was quite painful and did bleed a fair bit but I could not find it again afterwards and I am fairly sure he has eaten it Although they are clear and could be hard to see I'm pretty sure I would have found this as I looked on my small hallway floor for 15 minutes and he may have found it appealing to eat if there was blood on it I pressume he will just pass it. Should he be okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That sounds painful! I would imagine it will just pass through if it's quite small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I wouldn't worry about it too much; it'll pass through in time. Dogs eat plenty of rubbish and survive. Hope your ear is better son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks for your replies I thought it would pass too but just wanted to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If it helps, I (apparently) ate a tiddly-wink when I was a nipper, and I survived that!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
