I doubt anything will happen to the dog and I hope you will soon feel less stressed by the situation. :)

I'm sure it will be a massive relief.

It is just a small capacitor, but with 56 kilo it is a big dog, so maybe you are right, "a BIG relieve"

Now what? My vet claims he'll be fine and pass it if indeed the canister is sealed.

Was there any charge?

Do dogs get discharged from the vets the way people get discharged from the hospital?

The only difference, the people have to pay the bill for both.

Watch out for any bipolar behaviour, it may indicate that the integrity of the canister has been compromised!

Just give him a good handful of pitted prunes. If he is like most dogs they will go down instantly, and then a good drink, and he will be scoured clean.

Marley loves the fruits of the queen palm, and eats them whole, with the next day you getting a lot of the pits neatly together in a line, surrounded by her poo. Has not worried her in the least, though she did eventually stop eating avocado pips whole, she now gnaws them to pieces first. Of course, also eats grass and branches as well. What can I say other than Labrador.

And we have a survivor!!! The shitty 470uF I mean, shows 445uF on the DMM  :-DMM
Dunno about the dog, he took off in the woods as soon as I opened the garage door so I'm guessing he'll live
Grounded him in the garage until he rear out my stuff. That'll teach him, thief...

And so, Datasheets can be amended with "Caps do survive digestion and other shitty abuses".

Was there any charge?
Wasn't. I always short those things before placing them back into the tray they sit.
Had it clamped between a pair of tweezers and getting ready to solder two pins to use in a breadboard.
As soon as I've placed the tweezers in the alligator clip it flew hypersonic speed and landed right in front of my boy's face.

Enjoyed the jokes guys, some pretty damn good ones haha  :-+ :-+

So you can't use that  " I did not install the 470 uF capacitor because my dog ate it" excuse.

.... and I can just see the first product reviews:

* Truly crap products.
* Beware when the magic smoke escapes - you'll want to find a dodgy Rifa to clear the nostrils.
* All the dogs in the neighbourhood want to sniff the projects I use these in.
* Someone left a bag of these on my doorstep and lit it.

I'm wondering what the dog was thinking when the owner set upon every steamer with utensils.

What would have been hilarious if the dog had turned around and swallowed it again poo and all. Dogs tend to eat other dog poo :-DD

Just like those shitty caps we used to get in computers some time ago.

Who misses them?

Grounding the dog discharged the cap

Your dog cherry picks the best capacitors, just as the civet eats only the best ripe coffee beans , then shits them out, people collect them and sell them for top dollar to the coffee aficionado's as kopi luwak.

There's nothing wrong with the jokes above  :-+
But on a serious note, it reminds me about the extreme & real dangers of young children swallowing those 'Button' batteries??
THEY seem to be perfectly sealed, and should just pass through, so I don't understand about 'Chemical Leaks' etc ???  :P
