Hello,

I am sorry your dog is having trouble. It would be best if you took her straight to the nearest emergency hospital. They can induce vomiting and try to get the applicator out of her stomach. If you wait too long to have her seen, natural digestive processes will move the applicator out of her stomach, and she might need surgery. Time is of the essence, so please hurry. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. If this has been helpful, please hit the green accept button. Best of luck :)
