retainers are pretty expensive so id say his chance of survival depends on how much your dad likes him/her.

hahha dogs LOVE retainers, but what kind of retainer was it. was it the one with a metal bar across your teeth, or it it was plastic ones that cover top and bottom

hmm they have lots of sharp edges, and aren't that small. go to the vet, get an x-ray, and show us.

if that gets stuck in the stomach or one of your dogs tubes, its screwed. My friends dog had to get emergency surgery to remove a bottom retainer bc it got lodged in the tube leaving his stomach (not sure what its called)

i'm more surprised at how many people have retainers than the fact that dogs eat them...

my dog has eaten some strange shit in its time. the funniest being a singing toy which played music in its belly for a while. hahaha

haha when i got my retainer they gave me a list of things to be sure of, and the first thing on the list was that i should keep it away from any dogs or cats, because apparently pets love to eat them.

so its not strange at all. infact its pretty common. and your dog will be fine.

i think your lieing about the singing toy.. it might have done that for like maybe a bit, if you kicked it... but the battery would corrode in its stomach and it'd probialy die
