    Perhaps the fitbit fell out while everyone was running after him? Did you check the lawn/area he was running around in? When it syncs, does it say there was steps? if so, then it more than likely is in the dog...if not, it is possible the device fell while your dog was running around with it.

    At least you'll know how many steps he takes in a day...until he poops it out.
    LOL...if you follow him then they will be your steps too!

    Hope your dog is okay! I understand not wanting to do surgery, but I hope he is not obstructed. Poor thing. let us know what happens! I did have to chuckle about sitting the dog by the computer, hoping to sync him up.

    At least go get him xray to be sure. I use to have a dog that ate socks/gloves. He usually pooped stuff out or threw it up but there was one garden glove that he ate that had to be removed. Its a pain though. If you get him xrayed then you know its in there, if its not then you can search some more for it. Its best not to wait to long, follow up with your vet.

    Hope the puppy is ok. Good luck.

    Hydrogen peroxide will make a dog vomit. My vet had me give mine a tablespoon every 1/2 hour. It might be too late, though.

    Could there be something else that is setting off the metal detector besides a possibly eaten Fitbit? I realize you removed his collar, but I'm still wondering if there might be another explanation.

    I hope your dog is OK.

    Of course it's too late. I didn't read the date or all of the posts before I posted that. I sure hope the little guy is okay.

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he ate something a long time ago (a coin?) that's been sitting in his system? I hope everything turns out OK.

    not sure if anyone has suggested this, or if the advice is even needed since this happened yesterday, but my dog ate rat poisoning about 10 years ago, and the vet told me to give her Syrup of Ipecac. She was throwing up within minutes, and she was fine in a couple of days.

    Either way, I hope you get a new fitbit....:sick:

    Bumping because I have to know how this ends. I hope the little guy is okay. Poor pooch.

    Maybe we can all send her $10 toward his vet bill. ;)

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!! the OP should be totally ashamed. If she can't afford to get vet care or vet insurance, she should not have got a dog. If financial,situation has changed then maybe she could consider having it rehomed to someone who care more about the dog than the inconvenience this is causing to her vacation plans

    Loads of people clearly explained how dangerous this could be and a vet should be consulted but she didn't take the poor thing.
    This makes me so sad and angry. If it was in the UK, I'd report it to the RSPCA. This would be a criminal,offence mi sure- withholding veterinary care.

    You need to either eat, or get laid. Holy crap.
