She is a 4 year old blood hound who ate a sock with two magnets in the sock I don’t know what to do my mom knows but not my dad and it’s late at night and I don’t know what to do and all our vets are closed I need to know what to do.

Want a licensed vet to look at this too? We will put it in front of the vets who answer here, and post their reply on this thread.

Hi, I am a veterinary nurse and understand how concerning this can be. The best thing you can do is take your pet to the veterinarian as soon as you can. The sooner evaluation and treatment can start, the better. Dogs eat all kinds of things, and veterinarian teams have many things they can do to help. After the veterinarian's initial exam, they will likely need to take an xray (type of picture) to see what's going on internally. Surgery is needed sometimes to remove a foreign object (sock with magnets for example), but not always. Your veterinary team is there to support and help you.

Written by a veterinary technician, not a licensed veterinarian, and without examining your pet. It is general information to help you decide what to do next: not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prescription, and not intended to establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Do not start, stop, or change any medication based on it. Your own veterinarian has examined your pet and knows their history, so ask them before acting on anything here. PawsRx has not checked this credential against a state register.
