Cody ate plastic decor

[MeTree]

There may be a way to induce vomiting, but I am not aware of any methods. Reguardless, if you see how he swallowed the plant you may come to realize that there really wouldn't be any way for him to vomit it out. I'm afraid it would just do that much more damage to his system.

I really don't know what I think about all of this. I don't want him to suffer through an extremely painful process just to die at the end of it, but on the other hand I don't want to take away his chance to fight through it. Is there a right answer? I would really like some more opinions on his condition, if you guys don't mind.

You guys can be sure that at this stage we are both trying really hard to work through this. Right now he seems like he has the will to fight through it. I'll keep you guys updated.

Could there be a way to anesthetize him with a vet, they then can open his mouth and perhaps see down and pull it out with tweezers, not sure if this is possible, but just a thought. I hope something can be done.

Is your poor frog still alive and doing well?

[GrifTheGreat]

They can put frogs under to operate, but the problem with frogs is that sometimes they wake up during surgery. Something about their system makes anesthetic less effective.

Stanton I would take him to a vet anyway. If he has a chance they can tell you for sure and perhaps help. I can honestly say that this is not something you can handle yourself. This does not bode well for Cody if that plant is pushed any further down into his intestines. He will suffer greatly. A specialist may be able to get it out. If a bunch of stones can be removed through the mouth or a frog perhaps a fake plant can be too.

There is really only 2 options and one I know you will not like so I'm suggesting the better of the two for both your sake.

So not to be a jerk but, Why didn't you pull it out when he was swallowing it. You had enough time to take pics of the process. You may have injured his jaw or teeth a little bit but... letting him swallow the whole thing?...
Like I said I'm not being a jerk but I guess I just don't get it.
Hope your frog turns out ok.

I would say he probably panicked.

Use the tongs to pull it out from his stomach. Try to use a light to see it. When they relax their tongue you can see down their throat.
