This is definitely not something you hear or see every day.
A video on Facebook has gone viral with over 35million views, appearing to show a child in the hospital after accidentally swallowing a dog’s chew toy.
In the hilarious video, a woman asks the boy, “Where are you, Anthony?” He responds, “In the emergency room.” When she asks him why, he says, “I inhaled a doggy toy.” She asks, “How can you tell?” Anthony then proceeds to start squeaking as he inhales and exhales.
TODAY.com spoke to Dr. Alfred Sacchetti who was not Anthony’s doctor but suspects that Anthony swallowed the small metal noise box and not the actual toy itself because that would block his airways.
Dr. Sacchetti said, “I’ve been practicing for 37 years and I’ve never had a child squeak at me.” He added that while most parents should not have to worry about large dog toys, toddlers are constantly trying to chew on anything they can find. These common objects like pills, batteries, and coins can have deadly results for the child.
“Even adults wind up in the hospital after swallowing something odd. The story typically starts with: ‘Here, hold my beer and watch this’,” Sacchetti joked.
