Contact a vet!
Heavy metals can be very toxic to your pet and surprisingly accessible. The main source of Zinc toxicity in dogs is by ingesting pennies. The metal interacts with the dog's Red Blood Cells (RBC) and can cause weakness, trembling, loss of appetite and the pennies themselves can lead to Gastrointestinal (GI) blockage. Lead toxicity is even more common being found in toys, drapery weights, fishing weights, even batteries. Signs can be anything from vomiting constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, depression, blindness, tremors, to in-coordination. Onset is usually quick. Other signs may be anorexia, convulsions, tremors, blindness, anemia, or renal failure.

Call the vet and ask.
But the dog should pass the penny in a day or two. Pennies are not good for dogs, but a dog's system processes food and other things quickly.
Don't let her get near other things that she could eat, because some plants, chocolate, anti-freeze can be deadly.

i'd say it relies upon a lot on the dimensions of your canines. below 40 pounds, i'd truthfully bypass get the x-ray finished. Over 40, basically upload some rice, pumpkin, or diced vegetables like she suggested; the fiber may actually help to artwork it out of the body. until eventually you're seeing indicators like soreness, vomiting, both constipation or diarrhea, or lack of urge for foodstuff, I easily may be too demanding. Like she suggested. your canines's equipment received't spoil down the quarter or launch some thing poisonous, and see you later as its a mid-sized canines or higher, I very a lot doubt there'll be any problem passing it, considering that money are exceedingly small without round edges, and considering that they're flat that's exceedingly a lot no longer plausible for them to reason intestinal blockages. i imagine the 2d vet basically needs a touch more beneficial padding of their wallet, to be honest.

The dog should be fine as long as it didn't choke on the penny. Dogs eat a lot of **** they shouldn't.

He will pooop it out. It will be normally digested. If you see the dog becoming lethargic, running a fever, gums turning white or black, take it to the vet ASAP.
Good Luck,
