Mimi, a 9lb min pin was chewing a bone under my couch when all of a sudden I heard her screaming, it was extremly loud screaching sound that just went on and on, I tried to come close and feel around her to see what was wrong but she would back off and scream louder. This went on for about 2 whole minutes (constant screaming), she eventually stopped and walked to her kennel and went inside.
I didn't know what to do so I took her to the vet, by the time I got to the vet she was acting normal again. The vet checked her out and couldn't find anything wrong. Said that most likely should might have gotten a cramp or maybe she swallowed that bone and made it uncomfortable but just from the examination, there was nothing abnormal.
She suggested we give her an Xray to make sure there wasn't anything stuck in her stomach, well the Xray costed an extra $250 and the total would be around $400 for pain med, xray and exam.
I decided it was a bit much since she apparently wasn't showing anymore signs for pain or anything so I decided to opt out and take her back home. I"m letting her sleep in our room today inside the kennel.
I do think she probably swallowed the bone and maybe it hurt after she did it so she was screaming like that. Since she's no longer showing any signs of pain, should she be ok? I second guess my decision to not do the Xray and i'm sure some people will tell me it's horrible and i shouldnt take those chances but $400 to me was alot of money since the vet couldn't find anything wrong with her on the examination.
