This is an amazing thread! I am just dumbfounded. I got to the part where the dog threw up the spoon and grabbed DH and said "You gotta hear this!"
I'm so glad it turned out well. I didn't know that about hydrogen peroxide either. How on earth did you get it into him?
Wish I had pics of you doing the heimlich on an elkhound mix

Let me get this straight. You were feeding - an ostensibly large dog with little regard to what he actually ingests - and that selfsame canine swallowed a metal spoon... and you FIRST REACTION is to stick your arm down his throat!?!?
Heh... he's already proven he isn't picky... good thinking!
Kidding... I'm glad it all turned out well. No more spoonfeeding

If you don't have peroxide in the house, another emetic that's safe (but messier when you're cleaning up the hurl) is prepared or powdered mustard mixed with warm water. Get it down, and it'll come back up.
Last week, my friend's tom cat got hold of a 14" long ribbon and ate it. She got there just in time to see the last bit go down kitty's throat. String (tinsel, ribbons, et al) and cats' intestines do NOT go well together.
No peroxide in the house, so she tried my suggestion of mustard and water. Took two doses of 20 CCs each, but up came the ribbon about 10 minutes later.
I'm so glad you got that spoon out of your old buddy. Buster once ate my son's stinky sport sock. Glad he horked it up before I had to barf him!

I had a small dog once that ate some "Life" cereal and his little face swelled up like bees had stung him. Called the vet and he said the dog was allergic to oats (what the cereal was made from). Told me to give him a large pinch of baking soda and a jigger of water. He tossed the cereal within a few minutes and the swelling was gone in an hour.

LMAO you guys are so funny! Well Stoney is up and around today just fine, ate 1 1/2 cans of food this morning and a chicken egg here and there (he follows me to the coop and hits my hands with his nose to get an egg) I was doin' the happy dance last night I'll you, and my friends got kick out of it today--one of them mentioned that most buddies just steal your silverware, they don't usually eat it lol.
turtlehead--you asked how we got the peroxide into him, well I used a 2 ounce syringe, dh held his mouth up and shut, then I would pull out a cheek and squirt some in til it was gone--we discussed that Stoney probably has the cleanest mouth and whitest out of all of our dogs after all the peroxide lol. Really made him rabid with all the foaming the peroxide did! In a sec there will be a pic of the old guy big nose and all.
thanks everybody!!

Stoney's not what I pictured at all, I guess I was thinking of Norweigan elkhound.
He looks like a goofy kind of dog, which is a good thing in my book!
glad he (and you and yours) are okay!

Oh, WHAT a wonderful face he has! Such sincere eyes and such a happy smile. I'm in love!
That description of syringing the hydrogen peroxide into him had me in stitches. You sure can tell a story.

I was laughing and getting choked up when I read about your "Heimlich Maneuver". I saved our old sled dog mutt with a Heimlich one day. This is the truth and nothing but.....We had a very old and decrepit little sled dog that was tough as nails and had been an absolute pig her whole life. She would eat anything that didn't struggle too much, or bite back. She was a walking dumpster, no class, no limit to what she would try to eat, or how fast she would gulp it down. One day my wife wasn't thinking and threw a few whole pancakes into the dog's bowl. The dog walked over, vacuumed up several of them and choked, BIG TIME! She then backed up and dropped dead! I tried to get a response, but she was stiff legged, eyes open and non-responsive. I picked her up and held here out in front of me, with her four stiff paws pointing forward. I started the Heimlich and on the forth compression, she peed all over me. Now I'm holding a stiff dead dog, and I'm soaked. A few compressions later, she gags, horks up a pancake, and eats it, before it hits the ground! She walked away with no visible damage and lived another year, or so. It's funny now, but it really scared us then. Hopefully, you spoon eater has a few good years left. Good luck

Our lab pup ate some mouse poison this year so we immediately called the vet who told us to try the peroxide treatment. Never thought barf could be so beautiful. Glad it all worked out for your old fella. These old pets sure do run your heart through the ringer  Any medical issue could be the last. Glad you bought some time to spoil him rotten a little longer.

Sooooo glad it all turned out well! What a precious old dog. Looking at his funny face makes me feel the absence of my "Ginger" who passed a couple of years ago. Aren't dogs grand ol' buddies!
Happy for you!
