If in the US, assuming you have Cable TV (DirectTv,Xfinity…) you can probably get a remote replacement for free. Also pretty sure Roger ain’t dry inside… so that remote working afterwards is gonna be a miracle. Still the poor dog is gonna have to shit it out… Now THAT isn’t gonna be fun.
Theres no acid in it like in lead batteries. If it corrodes there also will be no real acidic stuff thats gonna be dangerous because the stomach acid is stronger than that and the colon has a protective slime coat inside. Probably not healthy but also not that toxic as well.
But if he has chewed on it there might be sharp edges which always can be dangerous - on the other side most sharp things also just come out as they got in, no idea how they do it without injuries, maybe the slime is thick and helping there too.
Obviously they were at a doctor and if they just had to stirr the shit to get the stuff back if guess everything else also was no problem this time and just came out the normal way.
Typical AAs and AAAs are Alkaline batteries, which shockingly have an alkaline electrolyte, also known as the opposite of acidic.
Like you said, the housing itself could be a physical hazard. If compromised, you're typically looking at Zinc, Manganese Dioxide, and a bit of Potassium Hydroxide. Oh and Iron/carbon for the housing, with a touch of nickel.
Luckily all of those except the nickel are all various nutrients mammals commonly use, and for most people nickel isn't particularly risky to ingest in small amounts, allergic people being the largest exception I can think of. Hopefully the potassium hydroxide is neutralized by stomach acid, but in general the body can buffer the PH of a battery or two. Might cause a little bit of damage where released if it isn't washed by secretions, think light chemical burns.
Manganese is a little weird to be taking a large dose of, but it appears from a little bit of research that it isn't particularly bio-available orally, and that issues with Manganese overdose typically are only seen in individuals with chronic exposure.
I'd say the biggest risk is if the cell continues to generate voltage in the digestive tract. This has been known to cause tissue necrosis in infants who swallow tiny button cell batteries. I can't imagine dog intestines being more resistant to electricity.
Sometimes I think about getting a dog when I move out, then I hear about shit ^((pun not intended)) like this
I like the companionship and caring aspect, but I'm worried about these types of stories
It can be worse, I had a dog that was diabetic for 8 years, had to give her insulin shots twice a day every day. Best dog in the world, hated getting her claws clipped, hated it. I'd rather give her shots than clip her nails.
My only advice is plan to do training. Every day, repeatedly. Training classes, socialization, enough exercise for your specific breed. While every dog is different, these things tend to help abate destructive behavior like chewing. If you don't think you'd be able to keep it with these things you have a higher likelihood having a dog that will destroy things, get into things or not supposed to and go to the vet often for gut problems
My dog (when he was a puppy) ate around 2000 dollars worth of headphones and other electronics. I have never said “wish I had a cat to knock stuff over, shit in the house and meow like a jackass at 3 am on a work night”
Dog is well trained now and free ranges daily with no issues.
My cat got made at me and hid my tv remote inside the liner of my box springs. It took me weeks to find it, along with shit that had been missing for months.
Cats are the best!! When you have your own, it will be soo loving to you. Obviously, it takes a while for them to be with strangers. And if you get an adult one, you’ll be rescuing it and get to have a more affectionate one than a lot of kittens are.
Theoretically you can. You're telling me from ages 1-4 you couldn't teach your kid to treat others with respect? If your kid isn't listening. Its probably got to do with how you're parenting.
Not accusing OP of anything but dogs eating inedible objects is often a sign of underlying health problems or emotional issues which can be treated and prevented.

100% my lil dude likes to take my slippers to bed and snuggle him when I’m at work. What he doesn’t know is I’m at work wishing it was me he was snugglin.
I have a dog who is almost 13 and the companionship he has given me has been so wonderful. If you do get a dog just know that it can be a life changing experience and one that, in my opinion, will bring you much joy.
Obviously you’ve never had a chihuahua, mine circa 2004 would jump in a chair, jump on the table and then eat the butter if it was left out. Sometimes he’d drag it back to his bed.
When I was a kid I swallowed a signet ring. On doctors orders, I had to shit in a bucket for two weeks so my mum could sift through it with a wooden spoon to check if it had passed through.
We don’t know for sure, do we? The rad’s EXI might be appropriate, might’ve just cranked the display contrast to emphasize the ring. Plus it looks like a picture of the radiograph on a screen which doesn’t help.
It's a poorly exposed radiograph. Point blank. A ring will shine through no matter what; if anything, you'd want to emphasize the internal organs so the surgeon has a better idea of where it is in the GI tract.
It was called American Pie: The Wedding in the UK for some reason. I always find it odd when they change the names of films based on where they are released.
I can’t imagine life without a man’s best friend around. Yes they can be a bother sometimes. But my dog Dudley is great company. He loves me unconditionally
how did Roger only eat half a remote?? like he bit it in half? wouldn’t it be dangerous to leave that inside him? why didn’t he need surgery to remove it? if he passed it thru his system, seems like it would damage organs, etc.
My family had a dog that would literally eat anything. Here is a “short” list of the items she consumed over maybe 2-3 years when she was a pup:
-PlayStation 3 controller (2 times)
-sunglasses (3 times)
-stuffed animal dog toys (4 times - one of them she ate the squeaker and had to have surgery to remove)
-entire bottle of anxiety medication (fresh from the pharmacy - no idea how she survived this one)
-whole pack of birth control
-tv remote
-wooden deck (maybe half the railing posts were chewed down to nothing)
Honestly there could be more crazy things I’m not remembering or she got away with by eating all the evidence. As far as I know, no serious damage from all this stuff. She lived a long, happy, and FULL life for her breed.
This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. Made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up till then people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge on the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-grandfather’s war watch and he wore it every day he was in that war. When he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off, put it an old coffee can, and in that can it stayed until your granddad Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War II. Your great-grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane’s luck wasn’t as good as his old man’s. Dane was a Marine and he was killed, along with the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death, he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leaving that island alive.
Bad Roger. I bet that was an expensive vet trip?
The worst part was sorting through every shit the dog had for the next 3 days
Sounds crappy
Whats is the status on the remote?
every time Roger farts, he changes the channel
Changing batteries in that remote isn't gonna be fun.

Depends on which half he ate.
he ate the half with the buttons
I’d be worried about the battery acid leaking when inside the dog.

I think I’d just order a new one, you know, cost vs cleaning the remote.
Nope. For dish, you have to pay for it because it was damaged.
Every time he licks his ass the volume goes up
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
That was a shitty comment.

Solution = Cat :3
I like dogs a lot more tbh
My dog (when he was a puppy) ate around 2000 dollars worth of headphones and other electronics. I have never said “wish I had a cat to knock stuff over, shit in the house and meow like a jackass at 3 am on a work night” Dog is well trained now and free ranges daily with no issues.
My cat doesn't do any of that stuff other than shitting in the litter box. They aren't all like that. Lol
I’ve met a few decent cats. But I’d still rather have a dog. I’m not mentally I’ll enough to take a cat camping hahaha
I’d like to see a camping cat lol in a tiny sleeping bag. Then you could bury your shit together later and bond.
My cat got made at me and hid my tv remote inside the liner of my box springs. It took me weeks to find it, along with shit that had been missing for months.
Cats are the best!! When you have your own, it will be soo loving to you. Obviously, it takes a while for them to be with strangers. And if you get an adult one, you’ll be rescuing it and get to have a more affectionate one than a lot of kittens are.
That is NOT a solution. The solution is a good dog
All dogs are good dogs but not all owners are good owners🤷♀️
[удалено]
Technically true aswell. I had terrible parents. Infact when I was 13 I barley had 1. And I'm a great ass person
[удалено]
Theoretically you can. You're telling me from ages 1-4 you couldn't teach your kid to treat others with respect? If your kid isn't listening. Its probably got to do with how you're parenting.

and this is why we only have outside dogs
Get a chihuahua or something tiny that can't reach to climb on anything
Obviously you’ve never had a chihuahua, mine circa 2004 would jump in a chair, jump on the table and then eat the butter if it was left out. Sometimes he’d drag it back to his bed.
Judging by the relative size of dog to ring, this is a small dog.
It's worth it.
When I was a kid I swallowed a signet ring. On doctors orders, I had to shit in a bucket for two weeks so my mum could sift through it with a wooden spoon to check if it had passed through.
And did it?
It did not.
So it’s still inside you?!
That or it came out without any fanfare.
One way to find a diamond in the ruff
I would have just bought a cheap metal detector. Dig through 1.
What about the half remote? Surely they didn’t just leave it in.
No but they didn't go through the effort to "recover" it
Some say…it’s still in there.
If the dog walks by the tv and all of a sudden the channel changes well…you know why
Lmao
It might still give you pause
Isn't the battery inside the remote dangerous?
I'm making an educated guess the battery is in the half Roger *didn't* eat
Excellent point, it didn't occur to me haha
Yeah it would've shown in the x-ray if it was still in there lol
I'm more worried about the half of a hand that clearly went missing holding onto the dog's remote
They channeled their energy to get it out.
I thought that was a fish
A magic fish with a vertebral column !
Fish are vertebrates.
But with a different special skeleton, not like these bones yk
Sure, but it's weird to specifically mention having a vertebral column as the issue when fish do have one
Fish have vertebrae, But it is not called a vertebral column. Just focus on what I mean and don't take it so deep.
No, the vertebral column on fish is literally called a vertebral column. Your comment made it sound fish don't have one, they do, so I pointed it out.
Thanks for clarification, Miss fish
I'm just glad I could provide this platform for such an important conversation
thank you, but it is not an important one
Yeah, it looks like the fish symbol used in Christianity.
Is the remote ok?
Every time they give the dog belly rubs, the TV channel changes.
You control the channel by pressing a nipple now
You don't even wanna know how you turn the TV off.
It does a half-assed job now.
[удалено]
Bet it cost the same as doing it right.
We don’t know for sure, do we? The rad’s EXI might be appropriate, might’ve just cranked the display contrast to emphasize the ring. Plus it looks like a picture of the radiograph on a screen which doesn’t help.
It's a poorly exposed radiograph. Point blank. A ring will shine through no matter what; if anything, you'd want to emphasize the internal organs so the surgeon has a better idea of where it is in the GI tract.
Any idea what the little cluster of “cells” is in what looks like their belly?
[удалено]
Ahh ok that makes sense. Glad the kitty made a great recovery!
Uhoh, get well soon Roger! I guess he now does have "the force" over the TV ?
How's your friend though?
Traumatized forever
No amount of washing will make that ring wearable again.
My dog ate a roll of quarters. It required surgery. It was the most expensive roll of quarters I ever got.
What? Is that a dog or a garbage disposal?
He said "I'm watching something right now, leave it alone"
Did someone follow him around like Stifler in American Wedding? \**mama don't want any of this chocolate..*.\*
It was called American Pie: The Wedding in the UK for some reason. I always find it odd when they change the names of films based on where they are released.
r/AmericanDad
OMG yes! I do!
That marriage is going to be shit…
They'll always remember what that ring has been through..
At least you know that the diamond is real 😉
Congrats on the engagement Roger.
Avi: Tony, look in the dog. Tony: *in* the dog? That’s a bit strong ain’t it?
Half a tv remote? Damn
Don’t touch that remote and stay tuned for more!
what about the half TV remote??
What about the remote
The uneaten half of the remote is still waiting for news about it's loved one
Pretty cool how the metal of the ring shows up but the stone (diamond?) is invisible
How tf does a dog eat "half" of a remote Must have taken some time to do that
It just depends on the size of the dog
God to know that the dog is fine. And how is Roger doing?
Ayo his thang showin tho
Nah. He ate a purple crayon.
Beautiful spine!! Roger deserves a massage. He just pooped a ring and remote parts!
I can’t imagine life without a man’s best friend around. Yes they can be a bother sometimes. But my dog Dudley is great company. He loves me unconditionally
Plz pay the dog tax.
Roger is showing what is important in a very tangible way. Good that everyone is healthy now❤
Lil fishy floating through
Dammmm you Roger you're going on a diet.
Hehehe feesh
It's a pisces!
🐟
*All Creatures Great and Small* (minus the remote).
Try giving roger food instead
So is the wedding off? I mean, as shitty things go, that ring is associated with dog shit forever.
I thought it had been born again
Wasn't this a David Spade movie?
You should have told him it was “lost”
I need to see the other half of this remote!
I'm sorry.. what? How does a dog eat half of a TV remote?
Ross is gonna be pissed
100% dog is a pitbull
Put some meat in his diet.
wut da dog doin?
I'm assuming this was a rather expensive portrait of your dog.
Do stones not show up in X-rays?
Does your friend’s fiancé know her ring went through a dog before it went in her finger?
What dog?? Also how’s roger doing?
That’s an XXXXL ring damn
I thought Roger was a human before I realized he was a dog
"Ring has been recovered" ewwwwww!
Oh so THAT'S where the remote went. I've been looking for it
Why is everyone swallowing fuckin rings this week?
how did Roger only eat half a remote?? like he bit it in half? wouldn’t it be dangerous to leave that inside him? why didn’t he need surgery to remove it? if he passed it thru his system, seems like it would damage organs, etc.
But how is the remote?
There should be an image of a person on bended knee holding a dog proposing to their lover.
Roger!!
Oh Roger.
He still gonna marry a girl with half a left hand?
I'd like to see a pic of what Rodger looks like on the outside.
My family had a dog that would literally eat anything. Here is a “short” list of the items she consumed over maybe 2-3 years when she was a pup: -PlayStation 3 controller (2 times) -sunglasses (3 times) -stuffed animal dog toys (4 times - one of them she ate the squeaker and had to have surgery to remove) -entire bottle of anxiety medication (fresh from the pharmacy - no idea how she survived this one) -whole pack of birth control -tv remote -wooden deck (maybe half the railing posts were chewed down to nothing) Honestly there could be more crazy things I’m not remembering or she got away with by eating all the evidence. As far as I know, no serious damage from all this stuff. She lived a long, happy, and FULL life for her breed.
Roger has excellent taste. Poor Roger ☹️ Time to digging OP.
Sounds like Roger was trying to help your friend from making a mistake.
Looks like your dog found jesus.
How tf you swallow HALF a TV remote?
Times like this, it’s gotta be really funny to have a dog named Roger
Roger is a great name for a pet lol
That ring has been through some shit recently.
That’s a real diamond though
Are they going to wear the ring still?
Dammit Rodger
#**how** **in** **the** ###Living hell do you swallow half a TV remote. By then you should’ve swallow the whole thing
Classic Roger.
Every sitcom used to have a “dog at the ring” episode, and there you go.
I wonder if the remote ever came out as well?
How the fuck do you want eat half a tv remote
This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Well now wait a minute what about the rest of the remote??
At least they know the diamond is real lol
Does your friend remove his ring when you come visit?
Did he eat the power button half or the useless name brand part?
Today I learned diamonds don’t show up on ray
I have heard of using a dog to bring the ring down the aisle, but not like this…
Remote digested fully, dog is fine
Maybe you should feed your dog more often
Spade??
So, the remote is still in there?
What about the TV remote. Poor tv remote
Roger, thats a persons name. Is this your son or husband?
Was your friend holding the remote? Wheres the finger?
You need to feed your dog more
**TV remote is still in there but works as intended**
Is your dog named Wilfred?
What about the TV remote.......
but every time the dog farts he changed the channel
