My daughter is 3 years old, we went to the ER because she chocked on something and after doing xrays we found that she has swallowed a dry wall screw and a round ball looking object. When you look at the xrays it looks like it would be a coin but it is completely round at every angle that you look. I am a very worried mother.

I spent 20 years working for the COnnecticut Department of Correction, we had an inmate (male – mid 40′s) who – as an attempt to get out to a civilian hospital ate a pair of forcepts and an entire 12 inch square steel ventilation grate (piece by piece).

My cat just ate a needle and thread… We have Ex-rays on my blog and details.

She’s recovering now but I am looking for info on how long it will take her to resume eating and pooping.

My friend’s cat ate an enormous quantity of tinsel off an xmas tree one year. No gastrointestinal distress, thankfully, but the kitty had “poop on a rope” for several days.

The lightbulbs in the snake is a (sadly) common way to kill off snakes who are eating chicken eggs.

One day to give us a break during my medical school radiology class the professor brought out a bunch of images of foreign objects inside of people. There were lightbulbs, and umm, battery cases.
There was also one of some steel wool in a prisoner’s urethra. Disturbing.

I believe the little girl was adopted from some sort of orphanage in Eastern Europe and had emotional problems. She apparently had swallowed other toys in the past.
