[quote=Anonymous]Also remember to at least consult a vet before inducing vomiting, though.

Some items, like pointy ones, should never be brought back up once successfully swallowed.

We had a new foster dog who jumped up while my son was holding a chicken wing and grabbed it right out of his hand.  The dog swallowed the bone and the vet told us not to induce vomiting.  As long as he successfully swallowed it and his airway wasn't obstructed, it was best to let it pass through as vomiting is violent and could cause the bone to come back up and choke the dog.

A few months ago our other dog found a toothpick in the grass and ate while on a walk.  The vet told me to immediately feed the dog a whole piece of bread with a hearty amount of peanut butter and monitor him.  Apparently the bread and pb act to "bind" to the toothpick and encapsulate the sharp ends.  We monitored his poop for over a week without finding anything so we did take him in for an xray just to be cautious and the vet said his stomach acid likely digested it well enough that it passed without us knowing because nothing was seen on the xray.
