Lately, my dog has this weird obsession with chewing anything that’s metal (necklaces, earrings, screws, etc). Last night, I heard her chewing on something and caught her munching on one of my diamond earrings. I made her drop it but she had already eaten one whole earring and the backing to the second earring. All I was able to recover was one loose diamond and one gold piece (with the prongs) that holds the diamond.
I’ve already called the vet and he told me to check her stools until I find it. She’s taken two poops since the incident and I’ve checked them both. All that I’ve found was the backing to one of the diamond stud earrings. Do you think that even though it’s been almost twenty-four hours since she ate my earring that it will show up in her stool tomorrow? Can the fluids in her stomach destroy the diamond? Do you think the earring got stuck in her intestines? I just don’t understand why she only pooped up one backing!
Has anyone ever been in this situation?! PLZ HELP!

First your dogs stomach will not dissolve the diamond – they are one of the strongest things in the world. Second, give it another day or so before you worry too much – chances are it’ll be in the next stool. Have to say I don’t envy you the job of sifting through your dogs poo for something you wear so close to your face though!! Good Luck!!
I had one of my sons swallow one of my contact lenses years ago and had to strain stools for quite a while. It can take several days for everything to come out. I doubt that it is “stuck” inside her.
You’ve also been given a painful lesson that you can’t afford to leave any valuables where the dog can get to them. If she ever swallows a screw like you use in your home, that could imbed itself in the stomach or intestinal tract and you surely don’t want that happening. That could mean surgery.
If you don’t see the rest of it in the next day or two, talk to your vet again. -!-
i would give it another day ..if you dont find it give your vet another call.
Coal makes diamonds! Next time, have her eat coal… Then she should poop out diamond.
Have the vet x-ray her!
It will return, diamond will be just fine. = )
Just wait till it poops fully
Give her time. Should come out
