asked

My 90 lbs yellow lab swallowed 10-12 glass shards, most under 1 cm. The vet recommended surgery to remove them from the stomach due to the risk of perforation. Is the intestinal lining thick enough to withstand cuts from small glass shards, or could a few cause infection? Should we have opted for bulk feeding instead of surgery?
