:nilly: My Pima swallowed a few round river rocks like about a week ago. She is still alive but i can see the rocks in her belly... they are like really bulging out in her stomach, very noticeble! I left her alone to see if she would be able to cough the rocks back out herself... but doesn't seem like its gonna happen... she hasn't eaten for a long time! And just today i netted her, held her up with the head pointing downward and try to shift the rocks from her stomach area towards her mouth to see if they would come out, no luck! :(
Has this ever happened to anyone before?? Does anyone know a way of getting the rocks out without risking her life??
 
try to get her to eat a bunch of feeders causing it to throw the rocks up!

dont really know what else to do!
sorry
 
Surgery?
 
I don't know, but i heard that cooked green peas may work as a laxative. not sure though.
 
put it into a shallow water. force feed it a high concentrate solution of salty water. usually makes animals throw up whats in there guts.

wow never heard of this before. just be careful as high quantity of salt can be fatal for fresh water fish.

Yeah man Idk about fish but if you ever see someone overdose on anything or think someone is going to die from what they just consumed get a glass of water and mix LOTs of salt into it, force them to drink it they will empty their stomach like a charm. Not sure about fish though :S
