We were at our sons condo at the beach and the entire complex was being remodeled. We did not realize he had swallowed the wing nut until we returned home that evening and he seemed to have a bellyache and I rocked him all night like a baby with colic. i was at the vet the next morning as soon as they opened. She xrayed and saw what she thought was a ring. Before trying to remove it she decided to X-ray from another angle where you could see it was a wing nut with a screw in it. She was afraid to let it pass or remove it through the throat as he was very small so she removed it surgically! Very costly snack! He's 8 now and I do not think he has swallowed anything but food since!
