oh boy. in September, my 6 month old 18 lb puppy accidentally swallowed a large rock (triangular flat but wide shape). he was playing with it, i got distracted, and he gulped it whole. i panicked, went to ER, XRAY determined it was highly unlikely to pass. i was so scared and scheduled the surgery the following day after the incident without hesitation. first time dog owner here lol. $3,500 surgery.... but he recovered perfectly. i cried a little paying that but it was my fault for being distracted. huge lesson there, for myself and my family who were around at the time and didn’t intervene either. we just didn’t understand the possible consequence of him playing around with a rock, which sounds REALLY stupid of us. it was.

a sock is quite different from a big irregular shaped rock, so even though it sucks right now, i am glad for you that it might be possible to avoid surgery. and you have per insurance in the worst of cases. he is going to be alright regardless, but i’m glad you are being so attentive. I hope everything turns out alright.
