When Nellie was a puppy (about 8 months old) I was sitting in the living-room, talking on the phone. I watched her walk right up to our Christmas tree, take a glass ornament off the tree and eat it. Yes, it was glass and yes, I heard it crunch in her mouth. By the time I got over to her, she had swallowed the ornament. Lol, because I screamed, I think she started eating faster. I was at home alone, this was 10 o'clock at night, very close to Christmas and over 8 years ago, we had no emergency vet back then. I called my Vet, got his answering service-I think he was at a holiday function. I ran to my computer and Googled *dog ate glass ornament*. I got hits-I couldn't believe it!!!!
Most sites said to feed her cotton balls dipped in milk. I had cotton balls, I had milk, I could do this. My Vet called MUCH later in the evening and since Nellie was fine at the time, he told me to bring her in first thing in the morning, unless she was in distress - I could call again. Of course, I couldn't sleep that night, but Google probably saved my Nellie's life that night.
